I am writing about a chili that I found that was just plain interesting. I've done chili with lentils before, but not with the base of carrots. I made chili with beets, why not with carrots? I can see this being a little sweeter than your typical chili. Carrots can make a wonderful base for [...]
I never thought I would ever be using beets in a chili. It's one of those ingredients that doesn't scream "chili" to me. No matter. I still have extra beets to use up and am game for something new. I am starting with a recipe from Wholesome Family Living for Superfood Chili. This chili recipe [...]
(Forgive me for the generic picture this week. The nephews had me so busy that I forgot to take pictures. I'm sure you can imagine what your standard chili looks like. Just more orange.) Everyone should have a basic chili recipe. It's one of those recipes that you can pull out and feed a crowd [...]
Right now I am back to cleaning cluttered spaces. We have two sheds that got VERY cluttered before by in-laws moved out. Since this house is Tony's childhood home, cleaning out this part will be hard for him. Since his Dad passed away, there are many memories in the stuff. This leads to keeping too [...]
This week I wanted something simple and comforting. I haven't done too many recipes for chili so far, but I found one I had to try. Our lives have been pretty busy lately, but we took some time to visit our families (socially distanced, of course). Make sure when you visit your loved ones, you [...]
This week I had a hankering for my favorite enchiladas, enchilada verde. I used to make these all the time. Shredded chicken, monterrey jack cheese and sour cream with tomatillo salsa. They are also time consuming to make. And they contain dairy. This week I found out that I had to delete some more items [...]
I saw this recipe demonstrated on Bon Appetit's YouTube page and knew I had to try it. I have more meat to deal with in the freezer, so this was the perfect recipe. I am taking a recipe from Chili Pepper Madness and making some adaptations. This includes making this in a slow cooker. The [...]
I decided to go Tex Mex this week. Chili just sounded good. Not just any chili. Sugar Dish Me came up with a most interesting chili. She made a riff on Chili on Carne. It adds the complex flavors of mole and a bit of sweetness from Kahlua. Kahlua is a coffee liqueur that is [...]
I am always on the hunt for a good recipe. I look high and low for recipes that stand out. It was a little harder to find interesting chili recipes. I think I've made your standard chili recipe hundreds of times. Black bean and sweet potato, verde, white chicken chili, Texas chili among others are [...]
So I was going through some recipes to find something easy. It's a busy weekend and I don't have time for something elaborate. I came across this recipe from Better Homes and Gardens for Indian Masala Chili. I love Indian food and we love chili. Problem was, I need to use what I had on [...]
