The weather finally turned cool this week and I personally felt the need to mark the passing of summer with the MOST possible fall-like meal ever: Pumpkin Chili. Everyone in our family gobbled it up! I hope you’ll try it soon and let me know what you think of it.

Update – I entered this chili recipe in the Ohio State Fair and won fourth place!
