It's the time of year where the air is getting chilly, and you just want to warm up with a bowl of... chili. Here are some of my favorite cookbooks for the foods you crave when you're wrapped up in a blanket, reading a book by the fire. If you're seeking the comfort of food look no further! As an added bonus, I've included my favorite recipe for Pineapple Chili! Don't knock it until you try it!

Ginny's (or someone's) Famous Pineapple Chili!
Ingredients:
1 package of sausage (mild or spicy...I personally like turkey sausage for this).
1 8oz can of tomato paste
1 can of black beans
2 cans of crushed tomatoes (personal preference is Rotel with the green chilis for one can, and 1 regular can)
4 teaspoons cumin
1 and a half tablespoons chili powder
2 minced cloves of garlic
Pineapple and pineapple juice from a large can of pineapple tidbits/chunks
Chopped/minced onion optional
Cook the sausage separately and then add all of the ingredients (except the pineapple but add the juice with everything else) into a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours. In the last hour, add the pineapple to the slow cooker.
Serve with sour cream, cheese, Tapatio hot sauce and cornbread (all optional of course) and enjoy!
