"Chili is not so much food as a state of mind. Addictions to it are formed early in life and the victims never recover." -Margaret Cousins

The refrigerator light goes on...

As the weather turns cold my thoughts turn to chilis and stews. I love cooking one pot meals - the warmth and aroma while a chili cooks on the stove whets the appetite and this version won't disappoint you. The flavor of barbecue with black eyed peas and a hint of pork served over brown rice make a great meal for a cold day.
