Some Changes

Hey Everybody~I just wanted to let you know about some changes that I will be making to this blog.  I am going to start only posting those recipes that in the past have received either a 4 or 5 star rating.  There are a couple of reasons for this:

1. To be honest, it takes a lot of time to upload pics and then explain the recipes just to tell you that we hated it or that it was just OK.  

2. I know that as a reader of other blogs, I wouldn't really try a recipe in which the author said this recipe is just "OK".  I would look for something in which they said it was good or great.
3. I want to make the recipes more easily accessible.  When people come here maybe looking for something to cook that night for dinner, I want everyone to know that what they are looking at are recipes that my family actually enjoyed so they can feel safe to try anything.

I will be going through the blog in the next few days deleting those recipes that got 1's, 2's, and 3's.  I will look back over our thoughts on them and if there are any that I feel I can make again and make some changes I'll keep them, re-make them, and then repost them.
Thanks for understanding.

P.S. I would love to have your favorite chili recipe.  I am making chili for Sunday's first full NFL day (plus, I just love chili) and I'd love your input.  It doesnt' have to be chili . . . what's your favorite football watching recipe?

    I think it is fine to post 3's if there are things you can add that you would try later. I think people would benefit from that.

    This is a chili I like because it really takes only 30 minutes to make and tastes good, http://www.food.com/recipe/30-minute-chili-446919 I can make it after I come home from work, and dinner is not delayed.
