I hope you have all been enjoying the recipes that I've been posting. I absolutely love to cook, and while I love to cook food that is more "gourmet", so to say, the reality of my life is that I just don't have the time. I cook 3 or more times a week (utilizing leftovers!), and really feel that good food doesn't have to be complicated or take all day.

In the spirit of Memorial Day weekend, I decided to make a BBQ inspired meal. Thanks to Sandra Lee, I found something quick and easy to make. Just a little warning, mine got pretty spicy!

This is going to be more a review than recipe because honestly I pretty much did only what the can told me too. Except I did add a little spice here and there. So here goes....
Skyline Chili-5 Ways
On a recent episode of Anthony Bourdain's No reservation he visited Cleveland, Ohio and saw all that Ohio had to offer including a bookstore filled Twinkie cream and the great Ohio creation of 3-way chili. I went with my boyfriend for a week long tour of Ohio to visit his family and had to try Skyline Chili.
According to the menu it is an old Greek recipe passed down for generations, however, when I was in Greece I never remember eating spaghetti, runny chili sauce with a pound of cheese but everything is possible.
Ex-boyfriend Chili
Since LaylaCams posted her yummy sounding chili recipe, I figured I'd post mine as well.
Actually, it's not MY recipe, it's just the one I use. The recipe was created by my ex-boyfriend (and still-friend) Brendan.

Easy Slow Cooker Chili
This recipe really stuck out in my mind for one particular reason: YOU DON'T HAVE TO BROWN THE MEAT! (Although if you're vegetarian you could very easily just leave it out and it would still be delicious.)
And thank goodness for that. I use my slow cooker because I love the idea of dumping everything in there in the morning and coming home at night and dinner is just sitting there, waiting for me, with tempting smells wafting through the house.
