"'Tis the night before Christmas, and the veggie dip I didn't do a "dry run" on before tonight went wrong. In a panic, I ran to the grocery store and usual 24-hour discount mart, but everything is closed because I waited too long. They're all closed tomorrow, too. The only thing open is Walgreens, who has dates, almonds, cheddar cheese, and bacon. Phew!

Thank you Sandra Lee for this easy, tasty appetizer. It's the ONLY thing that is going to save me from bringing sub-par dip or none at all, and no one likes a miser.

"This was my first attempt at making chili from scratch, and it turned out really well. I don't much like spicy food and was a bit apprehensive about the serrano peppers, but it was the perfect amount of heat. I doubled the recipe and used 3 peppers, and used a 6 oz can of tomato paste in place of the sauce. I also used canned corn instead of fresh, but might try the frozen in the future as another reviewer suggested. I'm going to let the flavors "meld" a bit and then serve it to my boyfriend tomorrow. He's a "cheater" when he makes chili [buys canned and adds steak], and I'm pretty sure this will win out over his concoction.
