We have Cincinnati style chili every year. YUM! We have been doing this almost every year for 35 years. It is getting hard for my elderly parents to make it. They are OK this year but we don't know about next. ( dad is 87 and is going downhill) I made 3 kinds of cookies and 3 kinds of bread. I ate a ton of cookie dough. I can stay out of the cookies pretty well but not the dough. I am afraid of the scale this week after all that cookie dough. I will have to work out extra this week. Good luck to everyone this week. We can do it. As long as I don't gain this week I will be happy.
