I can't believe how chilly it's gotten in just the past few days. We were ready to drag out the sprinkler and barbecue grill this past weekend and then...whaw! It's chilly, folks! What a perfect opportunity to bring out the old cold weather chili recipes and all that go with it. Here are a few chili recipes for the weekend...along with some goodies to serve with it!Steak and Shake Chili

Brownies on the Lite Side
Everybody needs a little chocolate. Here is a brownie recipe that is lite calories….I know some of us have issues with artificial sweeteners. But because I am diabetic and need a sugar fix on occasion this is a welcome alternative recipe for me. Oh…and the applesauce cuts down on the margarine or butter you need to use.
Ingredients
2/3 cup flour
2/3 cup Splenda
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup margarine
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ tsp salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix flour, Splenda, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Set this dry mix aside.
Blend eggs, margarine and vanilla together. Add and blend applesauce.
Slowly add dry ingredients to the liquid ingredients. Mix well.
Grease a 9x9 or 8" circular baking pan (look below for more suggestions).
Pour brownie mix into baking pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Brownies are done when a toothpick or knife to the center comes out clean.
Cool at room temperature, then eat or refrigerate brownies.
Serving ideas
Bake the brownie mix in a mini muffin pan for delicious, portion controlled treats.
Add 1/3 cup crushed walnuts to the brownie mix before baking
