Our Favorite Chili and Cornbread Recipes

November 30, 2018

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. 

Well, whoever “they” are must never have had a toddler with razor sharp hearing and a propensity for repeating four letter words. That’s right, darling Sofia, with her barely there pigtails and lavender fleece onesies, has added a particular four letter word to her wide vocabulary that includes “ball.”

So parenting is going great this morning, thanks for asking. 

The temperatures here in the Bay Area are typically pleasant, but our mornings and evenings are getting a little colder these days, having us crave cozier meals, like chili and soups. Our go-to chili is one by blogger/cookbook author Gina over at Skinnytaste. I’ve referenced her blog time and time again because, well, it’s one of our favorites. Her pumpkin white bean chili uses Northern beans, pumpkin puree, and ground turkey and slow cooks for 6-8 hours, making it a healthy and easy dinner option. We also love this buttermilk cornbread recipe from Allrecipes.com. And with over 5,000 reviews and a 5-star rating, it’s easy to see why! 
 
With fresh-from-the-oven cornbread and a hearty bowl of turkey chili, our cold nights have definitely been warming up. A delicious comination that will hopefully teach our daughter other four-letter words…like “more!”
