****There’s nothing better than a bowl of chili when you’re watching your favorite team! Its that time of year- bowl games, NFL playoffs, tailgate parties, Christmas parties, basketball games and chili is always a fan favorite. We’re especially excited down here in Houston and proud of our Texans for making the NFL Playoffs for the first time in franchise history! We will be having chili tomorrow night as we watch them take on the Indianapolis Colts!!!!***
