I don't know about you but sometimes the hardest gifts to think of are what I call the "outliers." The teachers, family friends, pastors etc. Often those who provide us a service year-round. There also tends to be a lot of them. I wanted something I could duplicate. This year I decided to reduce the candy, cookies and cakes and go with a hearty meal as my gift. I am calling it "A Bag O' Chili." It doesn't break the bank either. Mine worked out to be less than $10 a bag. I found the white canvas bags at Michael's on Thanksgiving clearance. Two nights ago me and my gang sorted out beans, tomatoes and pumpkin (yes pumpkin) into ten bags. We included all the ingredients minus the perishables. I'm hoping this is a winner, I know the recipe already is! Let me know if you try it! A big thanks to my sweet friend Christina who I gave me this original recipe.
