Christmas Chili

For Christmas, I made my traditional Christmas chili. I was going to make it and actually write down how much of everything I use so that I could have a recipe. Nope. Forgot and dumped stuff in. I'll try to make it again in a smaller batch and see if I can make it happen.

I did make some other things, including these which were so cute:



SNOW PEA HOLIDAY WREATH
(from Taste of Home, carol schneck, lodi, california)

1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 pound fresh snow peas, strings removed
2 cups grape tomatoes

1 In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic powder and seasoned salt. Place mixture in a pastry bag or heavy-duty plastic bag with a small star tip.

2 Pipe about 1/4 teaspoon of mixture onto the wide end of each pea pod. Arrange pods on a serving platter with cheese mixture toward the outside of the platter; fill center with tomatoes.

Yield: 20 servings
