Chili Con Carne
I am sure each of you have restaurants in your hometown that makes you feel nostalgia! One of my husband’s favorites was a little Mexican restaurant named Del Toro. We already cracked the code for their Queso Blanco years ago and now, my husband says not only have I recreated their chilli con carne, he likes mine even better 😉
