Hi Steph, I make that same peach cobbler, but use the peaches with splenda since I am a diabetic. The texas chili looks fantasic...I lost my mother a few years back, she too was a marvelous cook and I share her recipes, too. Don't you think our Moms would think that is a grand idea? The night she died I dreamed she and my Uncle Bob were bent over cookbooks trying to decide what to prepare for the gathering party. It was a lovely dream! I'll be back often, hope you will join me, too.Thanks for the kind words, too.
