Boilermaker Tailgate Chili

This boilermaker chili is the one the gang eats at Purdue Boilermaker football games. I always prep and cook the chili the night before and then reheat it the next day. This is a combination of many different tomato-based chili recipes.

French Onion Soup with Homemade Beef Stock

While making beef stock from scratch is time-consuming, it really makes the best beef broth for French onion soup! Of course, you can always buy beef stock, too (if you are in a hurry)! This serves four as a main course with crunchy French bread and a simple side salad (try mixing tender butter lettuce, sweet green and red leaf lettuce, some crunchy iceberg, confetti light green cabbage, and grated carrot with candied pecans and a light balsamic or Italian dressing).

Chai Tea Latte

This milky chai tea latte is really similar to the brand Oregon Chai. Simply delicious either hot or iced! This will save you more money than buying the chai. In India, each family has their own way of making it, so you should experiment to find your favorite blend.

Cherry Cheesecake Brownies

The delicious combination of chocolate and cherry swirled up into cherry cheesecake brownies that your family and friends will love, and they can be made gluten-free to boot! Serve them warm or cold and store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Easy Fried Morel Mushrooms

Fresh morels are simple and quick to fry and enjoy. These mushrooms are a treasure of the woods hunted by many in the early spring here in Missouri. They can be very hard to find but well worth the work once you get lots of them to eat.
