Simple, Hearty White Chili & Cheddar, Scallion Corn Muffins


It was so cold & windy yesterday. Cold = chili & cornbread in my book! I've been wanting to try out a white chili for awhile now, and this recipe sounded delicious. Delicious it was, AMAZE! This was so tasty and hearty. The batch was huge, so I'll probably be eating this for the next 4 days, and I do not mind. This is the type of dish that actually tastes better after it sits. The next day is really the ideal time to eat it, though I doubt you'll be able to resist it once it's done. This type of dish also freezes well if you wanted to save any for a later time. I fall more and more in love with my dutch oven every time I make something like this. If you haven't made the investment to purchase one, you won't regret it. It has some kind of magical power that causes everything cooked in it to become instantly delicious. Enjoy.

P.S. On the chili: I substituted 1 cup of buttermilk for the whole milk. I also added a whole can of drained corn for some bite, sweetness, & fiber!

Braised Beef Short Ribs over Creamy Goat Cheese Polenta


Stop your salivating now... I KNOW. Delish! I made this as a main course for my Dad's birthday dinnner and everyone (myself included) was super impressed. This meal will definitely impress the best man in your life. :-) This is super hearty, satisfying, fulfilling, delicious, melt-off-the-bone-good! It is super simple also, so try this out ASAP! I promise you will not be disappointed! I didn't even change the recipe on this one too much. I did add about 3 chopped celery stalks with the rest of the vegetables and a good heaping tablespoon of minced garlic. I used Chianti for the red wine. Send me some feedback, this is a KILLER!
