Spicy Chili Recipe

Veronica's Healthy Living
There is nothing like a bowl of steamy, spicy chili to warm you up on a cold day! This dish hits the spot every time. We like it over corn chips, but it is delightful with cornbread and fresh salad on the side. This also has a healthy dose of cinnamon for an added twist.
