Cincinnati Chili

Whole Foods is sponsoring a Budget Recipe Challenge where they:

challenged our favorite food bloggers to develop a budget-conscious (under $4 per serving) weeknight meal recipe that doesn't sacrifice good taste.

They've narrowed the recipes down to 6 finalists that include

• Wonton Noodle Soup
• Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchiladas
• Miso Burger Pilaf with Lemon-Ginger Tofu (the thought tofu makes me want to gag, though)
• Cincinnati Chili
• Farro with Butternut Squash, Hazelnuts, and Swiss Chard
• Chicken Marsala with Brussels Sprouts and Capellini Aglio e Olio 

I am telling you about this for two reasons. One, the Cincinnati Chili recipe is written by the author of Coconut & Lime, a blog I read frequently. The recipe sounds fabulous and I am thinking of making it this weekend for the End of Season Potluck at camp. Two, "by posting a comment on one of these recipes, you'll be entered into a drawing for a $500 Whole Foods Market gift card! (Ten runners-up will receive $25 gift cards.)"

Seems like a no-brainer, hop over to check out the recipes and get a chance at $500. At Whole Foods that'll get you a small load (they are a little pricey, after all!).

Toodles!
