Most of my recipes (especially this one) are more of a guide to a meal that I made and loved and thought you may love too. The beauty of it is that you can omit the ingredients you don’t like and fill it with flavors you DO like. There is no exact quantity. For two servings, this is how I made the above (and sprinkled with parmesan cheese!)…

A nice hot bowl of chili on a cold winter day. Is there anything better? It warms your innards, makes the house smell wonderful all for very little work (if you ask me)! And, you have leftovers – #winwin I searched high and low for a recipe with normal ingredients, not a packet of anything or a can of beans in a seasoned sauce. I found one, changed it very little and I think you’ll love it.

I had to laugh… I ran into a friend (who I had just taken a sourdough workshop with) in the bread aisle at Whole Foods. Imagine hearing this while you’re shopping: “Mother isn’t doing well – I don’t know if she’s cold or hungry. I keep trying to make her happy, at this point, she’s just going to have to toughen up”. I noticed an odd look. Ok, I wasn’t talking about a person, it was the “Mother” for the sourdough bread, ha ha… Pictured above is Try #1…

Do you remember the Seinfeld epidsode that made Mulligatawny soup so familiar? Haha, I do, it was one of my favorites! When the weather turns chilly what sounds really good to you? Hot tea, hot chocolate and hot soup come to mind. We’ve had some spectacular soups the past few years. I love to make soup, but I’m not (or rather, I wasn’t) a big soup eater. I am now, especially these blended soups with so much flavor, especially when drizzled with an herb oil and sprinkled with pepitas and other delicious acoutroments! (This first try I didn’t drizzle or sprinkle, I wanted the full flavor to figure out what to drizzle/sprinkle. This recipe is out of this world good…

I’ve had meatballs on my mind… A friend told me about a nearby restaurant that served their meatballs in a marinara sauce, and she would order that and a big salad to go. We tried it and it was delightful. We had it a few times and it was great. Then I ran across another meatball recipe (I appear to be addicted to recipes) and while reading the complexity of it, I thought back to my simple recipe. Quick and delicious. So I tried them in sauce with a big salad and a little bread to soak up the marinade. Whoa!

We had an extremely hot and humid summer here in Charleston, SC this year (as did much of the country). So after Tropical Storm Lee blew through the area we were left with nicer temps and less humidity. After avoiding the stove/oven for months on end, we’re putting it to good use while we can. Time for this (quick) Green Chicken Chili. It will quickly become a favorite. One night we have baked chicken (and bake extra) and then in the next day or so we make the Green Chicken Chili. Tasty!
