Thundersnow and Bison Chili

It's been snowing all day. And we just had thunder and lightening! I'm thankful to be in a warm house with nowhere to go today. 

I made Bison Chili the other day and it turned out great! I'm not real comfortable giving Tommy mystery spice blends, so I made my own chili powder with cumin, garlic powder, cayenne, paprika and oregano. Ben and I loved the chili. Tommy ate a little of the meat, but wouldn't touch most of it. He did of course LOVE the Corn-Free Cornbread.
