Well, its a new year everyone and that means more new recipes from Chef Hall of the Bull and Bear Club. He's cooking it up heavy on the top floor and he's sharing his treats with us. Super Bowl is just around the corner and while I asked for some quick recipes to share, Chef Hall must not realize that quick in my book means 15 minutes or less!! So for a quick Super Bowl recipe, why not check out Cooking at home with Vicki's blog for a quick delicious Chili Bowl recipe.
