Liene loves to cook and come up with tasty and original combinations of flavors that sound like good blends of ingredients, all while not making them too complicated. Encouraged by co-workers to enter yet another cook-off makes it that much more of a fun challenge. Her White Chicken Chili was created on a fall afternoon while watching Sunday football and getting ready for the Byers’ Choice Chili Cook-off contest a couple of years ago. To this day, she still gets requests for this recipe from co-workers!
