Chili
I think chili is one of those things that everyone does a little bit differently. We made a batch earlier in the week, using a recipe from our trusty Better Homes and Gardens New Junior Cookbook. (The edition we have is the 1978 edition, not the most recent, very cartoony one.)
Usually, chili is supposed to simmer several hours to be good, but this recipe cooks for less than an hour, start to finish, and we've liked it a number of times. Its quite from scratch, apart from using canned kidney beans. Onions, green peppers, ground beef, and plenty of beans and tomato make a pretty good finished product.
We also must wish my father-in-law and my sister-in-law the best of luck in a chili cookoff tomorrow!

Muffins
Yesterday was, as every Wednesday, our baking day. I made two different batches of muffins. One was the peanut butter muffin recipe found here:
http://thiswomanwrites.areavoices.com/2013/10/15/recipe-peanut-butter-muffins/
Those came out very nicely. That was a first-time recipe and a bit unusual because of using the whole-wheat flour.
The other was the family recipe for "Morning Glory Muffins", meant for church. Those are very good and very labor-intensive. They have diced apples, gratedc carrots, chopped nuts, and usually coconut (which we did not have on hand!) In other words, dirty up everything we own! Unfortunately, I left out one ingredient, namely Grape-Nuts cereal! They came out well enough despite that omission but I think it'll be necessary to make a second batch on Saturday to take to church after all.
What are your favorite muffin recipes?

Owls!

Owls are definitely in! I've liked owls since well before they started to be trendy, as evidenced by the amount of owl décor in our home. (Much of that, in turn, is creditable to my father's earlier liking for owls!)
Check out the owl apron!
