	Texas Chuck Wagon Chili (with Venison or Beef) by Amos Miller I originally made this with chuck roasts that I would trim out and dice into 1/4 inch cubes.

	Chocolate Caramel Butterscotch Chex Mix by Michelle You know how some people look in their fridge and come up with something for dinner out of what's in there, a la Iron chef?
