I don't eat a lot of fast food but when I do I try to pick things that are fairly healthy. I found that Wendy's chili is actually one of the healthiest items on their menu. So when I needed to bring chili to a potluck, I tried to recreate Wendy's recipe and I think it got it pretty close. —Margo Zoerner, Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin
