I Can't Think of a Better Time To Make This!

Published 9 days ago • 2 min read

Happy Weekend, Friend!

This time of year is a lot of things and one of those things is chili & cornbread! I'm a sucker for a good bowl of chili this time of year, and I love to freeze leftovers for lunches or other recipes (like chili mac!) another day.

This week, I published two new recipe refreshes to update some of my favorites. Starting off with a budget friendly chili with a kick!

better than ever

VEGETARIAN CHIPOTLE BLACK BEAN CHILI

This budget-friendly recipe uses pantry staples, a delicious blend of spices, and a few fresh veggies for the best color and flavor. (I love to toss leftovers into a bowl with rice, cheddar cheese & avocado!)

better than ever

GLUTEN-FREE MAPLE CORNBREAD

This naturally sweetened cornbread is the perfect compliment to chili & soup, but it's also a great substitute for rolls at Thanksgiving! We love this one so much.

PRIZE-WINNING PUMPKIN CHILI

This yummy chili gets rave reviews every year from folks who bring it to work potlucks, neighborhood chili cook-offs, and Halloween dinners. It's thick, hearty, and always a hit.

GLUTEN-FREE PUMPKIN CORNBREAD MUFFINS

These easy cornbread muffins are the perfect size, with a subtle sweetness and a tiny little hint of spice. They're SO good with soup & chili!

fan favorite

SALSA VERDE CHICKEN CHILI

For folks who want a lighter take on chili night, this white chili is always a winner! It's done in less than 30 minutes, and tastes so deliciously different than a red chili!

3-ISH WEEKLY PICKS

Loving Lately

  1. ​Nobody Wants This. I've been saving the new season to watch this weekend, and I cannot wait. Find me with an eye mask on, a plate of girl dinner in hand, and my favorite candle under my candle warmer.
  2. ​An Easy Analog Craft. I've been inspired by all the colorful, chunky paper chains I've seen all over IG & TikTok, and decided I'm making some for Christmas. My paper arrived this week, and I can hardly wait to start. I'm making mine with 12x12 patterned scrapbook paper and cutting each piece into 6 (2-inch) strips with my paper cutter. I put on an audiobook and finished almost all the prep in about 40 minutes. If you don't live by a great scrapbook store, this online shop has TONS of options & ships fast!
  3. Sneaky Nutrition Tip. I've meal prepped quinoa salad a few times recently, and have taken to tossing a cup of frozen edamame in with the quinoa as it cooks, then stirring in a handful or two of finely chopped spinach when it's still hot. It's an easy way to sneak in some fiber, nutrients, and protein!

What are YOU loving? Anything I should try?

Happy Weekend, Friend! We've been cooking our way through this month's meal plan, and one thing my kids are SUPER looking forward to this weekend is a batch of these juicy Chicken Parmesan Burgers. One of my kids doesn't like beef, so chicken burgers are always a win at my house, and this combination is UNBELIEVABLY good. They're a spin on our Chicken Parmesan Meatballs, and we love them so much they always need a spot in our rotation in one way or another. new recipe CHICKEN PARMESAN BURGERS...

a bowl of rosemary roasted potatoes

Happy Weekend, Friend! When I had two toddlers at home and we were in the thick of the picky eating phase, I remember everyone telling me that my kids would eventually like vegetables. Well, I would formally like to request a refund, because...now I have two teenagers who still don't love vegetables. For SURE it's better than when they were toddlers, and I still present a weekly rotation of veggies with dinner, but if there's one thing that always comes through for me, it's got to be...
