Sunday Cookathon

Life is good when you have nothing to do all day but cook. Today's menu included some grilled chicken for my wife's lunches, some chicken chili and one of my mother in law's favorites, shrimp stuffed portobellas with a red pepper cream sauce. A little something for everyone today, recipes to follow.
