And she cleaned up with the brand of paper towels that Rosemarie Clooney used to sing about.

Name Brands??!?! Your family must have been rich!

Well, the chili turned out great. And, i made some homemade cornbread to go with it.

Heck ya! I didn't even have to walk both ways uphill to school in the snow.

And now, of course, I'm an unsuccessful brat that will never amount to anything.

I miss baking things since my DH is on a low carb diet. I used to be the queen of quick breads! Muffins, popovers, coffee cakes, brownies, scones, etc.

Maybe try this thread. They are posting places to get recipes for low carb recipes. It's on eating Primal and Paleo diets.

Some recipes are here as well.

Good Luck, maybe you could become the queen of guten free as well.

I have only made chili once because my kids wouldn't eat it when they were little and DH didn't like beans. Well, now they have finally discovered the joys of a good bowl of chili. I am going to use hamburger and sausage. So, i gotta hit the store soon.

I make homemade chili a lot in the winter. I only have 1 kid that doesn't like it. Well now 2. The 2nd one likes chili but has gone vegetarian so I need to learn how to make vegetarian chili for her.

My sis makes something called "Massive Meat" chili for her carnivorous hubby with hamburger, sausage, etc.

Question for those who make homemade broth... When it gets cold, does yours end up still liquid, or does it get more solid like gelatin? If it stays like broth, what's your recipe?

Mine firmed up quite a bit, not sure if it's supposed to or if my fridge is too cold (still getting the temp adjusted right after it quit on me, right now it's still freezing things). Or, it could be that I cooked it in a dutch oven maybe? (btw, the dutch oven gives it a weird, grayish color, which I'm fine with, it does the same thing to applesauce, the flavor is good, and it adds iron, which I need).

ETA: the broth I cooked up for the dog treats stayed liquid. I did that in a regular pan and added more water than I did for ours. Maybe it was just the fact I used less water (I wanted it more concentrated)

Apple - when you are cooking it, you have to strain the fat off the top. I have made broth from the turkey bones, and the gelatin does oooze out during the cooking, but if you can get it separated and get that part out of there, it will be regular liquid.

Thanks--I didn't take the fat off until it sat in the fridge overnight (and over-day...). There was a layer on top that I took off, but there must have been some that mixed itself in over time.

-------------------
The longer you cook it, the more water evaporates. Less water equals more gelatin from the chicken.. The collagen in the chicken bones gets extracted during the cooking process. That's the stuff that makes it gel. Means you have a good, rich broth. I find that when my broth doesn't "set" I've added too much water and not enough chicken. The result is a watery, thinner-tasting stock.
