The Yellow Notebook is a treasure trove of recipes that my mother compiled for me many years ago. While going through it recently, I stumbled upon a delicious Chicken Chili recipe that my sister Lynn learned from her friend in Virginia Beach. This traditional chili recipe has a unique twist, thanks to the addition of a jar of picante sauce and salsa. As I cannot wait to try it this year, I am excited to share this recipe with you. Read on to learn more about this mouth-watering Chicken Chili recipe.

Tailgating is like a religion around here–and it was back when I was in college, too. There were elaborate set-ups, tents, tables, chairs, food and plenty of adult beverages, and one group even brought their hot tub so fans could watch the game on TV and soak at the same time. Legendary. Now, I don’t quite go to those extremes but I do love a good tailgate and all of the things that go with it.

Tailgate parties evolve through the football season, too. I love it when there is a chill in the air and it’s sweater weather. The tailgate menu features soups or chili and all that goes with it. But now, we are coming off a slight heatwave, the menu will have to suit the weather. Although I love a good soup any time of the year, it’s still a bit warm outdoors for chili on the tailgate menu.
