Alright people, this chili is a family legend, and my in-laws have gracefully granted me permission to share it on the blog. It started with my husband's second cousins, Led and Connie. This was their chili recipe initially, and they would make it for the kids at a camp they ran every year where they live in Colorado. It eventually got passed down to my mother and father-in-law, Rhonda and Ed, ...
Stout Chili
You chilly? Eat some chili. Ima just leave that cheesy pun there for a few minutes so you can enjoy it. Has it been enjoyed? Good. Let's continue. Ummmm can you maybe ignore the fact that this is the second chili recipe I've posted within a few months? What can I say...I'm a fan of chili, and I love how creative you can get with it. Also, it's the perfect cold weather food! It simmers on ...
Chipotle Chicken Chili
Let's go to a chili crawl and eat allllllll tha chilis. Have you ever heard of a chili crawl? I hadn't heard of one until this past weekend when there was one going on in town. Basically all the restaurants in this one area all made chili, and you would go from restaurant to restaurant trying the different variations and voting for the best one. Doesn't that sound like fun?! In my wildest ...
Crock Pot White Chicken Chili
My dearest Crock Pot, I am grasping onto you for the remaining few weeks that it is acceptable to use you! Soon, warmer weather will be knocking on my front door, and I will welcome it with EXTREMELY open arms, but I will store you away, my Crock Pot friend, until next fall with sadness. One of the very few sad points about winter ending. Emphasis on FEW. I am sooooo ready for winter to be ...
Baked Chili Lime Chicken Breasts
Cooking is hard when life is crazy. I've been told that no one truly understands what "busy" really means until they have kids, and maybe one day I'll agree with that when I have multiple kids, but I still feel like life can get pretty crazy right now. Between teaching, helping with the play, and blogging, sometimes it feels like the days are just going non stop! And that definitely makes ...
21 Day Fix Turkey Chili
It’s winter. Chili is a must. There’s just something about making and eating chili during winter specifically that makes my whole body just so happy 😀. It’s a soothing process. Even more so than other stews and soups, but in a different way! Chili is such a hearty, meaty comfort food...and bonus: you are left with leftovers that get better and better in the fridge (one of my favorite parts of ...
Vegan Chili Stewed Chickpeas
So basically these last few weeks have been a hey-my-husband-is-finally-home-from-his-deployment-so-let's-celebrate-and-go-out-to-eat-every-three-seconds type of situation. We haven't been eating super badly (with the exception of a few several meals), but it definitely hasn't been kale salad and protein shakes over here. We went to Topeka with my sister-in-law and niece yesterday, so we ate at ...

Turkey Chili Boats
I really can't take credit for these yummy Turkey Chili Boats - it was all Seth. He has talked so many times over the years about this invention he came up with at Wendy's (yes, the fast food place) called "Chili Boats." He is quite proud of it. This is basically what you do: order a baked potato from Wendy's. Order chili from Wendy's. Mix together toppings into the baked potato. Pour in ...
One Pot Vegan Lentil Chili
Chili? In April? I know...it's not exactly your typical spring dish, but like I mentioned with my Chicken and Rice Soup a few weeks ago, I'm an all year round soup/stew/chili eater. If that's not you, bookmark this delicious recipe and save it for October! Well I was suppooooosed to write this post yesterday, but Seth and I traveled to Savannah, GA this weekend to photograph our ...
