Ask anyone who went, there was a little of everything at our 'What Women Want' Expo Presented by DCH Health System at the Bryant Conference Center this past weekend. My find has led to a couple of inspiring meals.

Sure, there were vendors offering arts and crafts, to fashion accessories. I was excited to see a fresh, local farm stand. All too often, I just settle for store bought fruits and veggies. Soon, a bag full of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers and jalapeno peppers were headed home.

I sliced up the tomatoes and cucumbers and tried a few. Wow, so good! They were tossed with iceberg lettuce. Then, topped with bits of summer sausage and sprinkled with grated cheddar cheese. Take a look at this... boom!

I also used fresh tomatoes in my chili recipe. Along with chopped up bell and jalapeno peppers. I tried a little piece of the jalapeno pepper, it took about 15 minutes for my eyes to stop watering. Perfect heat! All of this was added into the rest of my super secret and highly classified chili recipe. Take a look at how it tuned out. You'll notice, it's another dish topped with grated cheese. Yeah, I'm all about cheese.
