Chipotle and Stout Chili

January 7, 2016 By Holly 4 Comments

Chili2

We are squarely in that time of year when the winter chill has set in and comfort foods – soups and stews, chili, and rich pasta dishes – are what I reach for again and again. After all of the indulgence of the holidays, this chili is a great balance of healthy(-ish) and hearty.

I’ve been making a version of this chili for years. It started with a recipe from the great Ellie Krieger (find the original here), and over the years has morphed into something a little spicier and a little richer, without totally sacrificing the nutrition. My husband likes it served with generous amounts of shredded sharp cheddar and some sour cream. I think it’s great on it’s own. It freezes well and keeps, refrigerated, for 3-4 days.

Most chili recipes are fairly flexible and can be adjusted to fit your personal and family tastes. If you’re nervous about the heat from the chipotle peppers, remove the seeds but don’t eliminate the peppers entirely. They give a beautiful, rich, and almost smoky flavor that is really worth trying. I also recommend taking the extra time to puree whole, canned tomatoes instead of using the more typical crushed tomatoes. I particularly love Muir Glen Fire Roasted San Marzano style tomatoes,   but if you’re wanting to save time and dishes, go ahead with regular crushed tomatoes.

October 8, 2019 By Lane Leave a Comment

Fall is my favorite time of year. Sweaters, colorful leaves, jeans, and CHILI! I haven’t yet met a chili that I don’t love, but this Instant Pot Chipotle Beef Chili is my go to recipe. I’ve made it on the stovetop for years, but turns out it is even easier in the Instant Pot, and I don’t have to worry about any splatter in my kitchen! Plus, my special ingredient makes this chili the best!

Fall means back to school, pumpkin everything, apple orchards and football. It also means those weekend game day parties are BACK and so are all of the great game day foods like wings, chili, and chips and dip. I love game day food but I don’t always love all of the processed, high sugar or high fat ingredients that many of them are often full of. Looking for a way to make game day food a little healthier? So were we. Here’s our list of Healthier Game Day Food! Just in time for the weekend.

GFR: A Cozy Friday Five

September 21, 2018 By Holly Leave a Comment

Hey Friends! It seems overnight, the cold arrived in Minnesota. I celebrated my birthday this past weekend with a string of gorgeous (and hot!) 90 degree days. It felt like summer’s last big hurrah and we soaked it up.  Monday afternoon, the storms rolled in and so did the cool weather. While I’ve been looking forward to some crisper fall evenings, I can’t say I’m loving this chilly, damp, rainy business. Since I’m also trying to cultivate a daily gratitude practice, I figured I would make the focus for this week’s Friday Five all about my favorite cozy things. An overhead photo of a bowl of BBQ Chicken Macaroni and Cheese…

Instant Pot Salsa Verde Chicken Soup

January 16, 2018 By Holly 21 Comments

InstantPot Salsa Verde Chicken SoupI think anyone who knows me well is aware of the fact that I have a major soup addiction. I can eat it pretty much all day, any day. Lunch? Awesome. Dinner? Definitely. I’ve even been known to have some for breakfast. I love hearty soups like our lasagna soup, spicy vegetable based versions (try our black bean version here), and pretty much anything you can put cheese in, like our Chipotle and Stout Chili. When time allows, I love to bust out my trusty dutch oven, chop a bunch of vegetables, and let something cook all day. The house fills with amazing smells and I go about my day, knowing a satisfying meal is a few hours away.  Let’s be real, though, most days as a busy working mama of two littles are not super well suited to time intensive recipes. Dinner needs to get on the table and toddlers need to be chased around. Enter: our Instant Pot Salsa Verde Chicken Soup….

Hey friends. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Are you celebrating today? Will you wear green? I will fully admit that I’m feeling a little blogger guilt about not having a totally Irish or green themed post for you today (#bloggerfail!) but we’re going to march forward with a bunch of Good Food Reads anyway, ok? Ok.  I promise we do have some last minute St. Patrick’s Day themed recipe links for you, but for those who are not super into the holiday (that would be me, too!), we also have some great non-holiday foodie finds. You know, in case you don’t want to live on corned beef and green beer for the next week! …

Good Food Reads

It’s Friday, folks, and I think a lot of us around here are ready for the weekend. Brunches, slow cooked dinners and – let’s not forget – the Super Bowl on Sunday (go Pats!). I’m actually working a good bit of the weekend so I won’t be able to try may of the Good Food Reads until next week, but I’m still really excited about the great recipes we’ve gathered for ya’ll. Here’s to some Good Food Reads for your weekend!

Beer and Football, right? Well, here’s a more sophisticated take on basic beer for your SuperBowl Party this weekend: Pineapple Lime Beer Margaritas from Half Baked Harvest.

Bacon Cheddar Buffalo Wings (via What’s Gaby Cooking). I have no words. Just make them, mmmkay? Similarly, this Loaded Baked Potato Dip with Homemade Chips would be a total show stopper at any football party (via The Kitchn).

If you’re still keeping up that New Year’s resolution diet, here’s a healthier take on party apps: Buffalo Hummus Sweet Pepper Poppers (Iowa Girl Eats)

Smitten Kitchen takes on guacamole. Because you obviously are going to need chips and guac to go with your margaritas, right? Or maybe serve it with these amazing Jalapeño Beer Nachos from Sugar and Charm. Anyone else feeling the need for stretchy pants yet?!?

I love a good chili bar for serving a crowd. If that’s your jam too, try our Chipotle and Stout Chili or this easy weeknight chili, featured on Food52 (from the lovely Alexandra Stafford of Alexandra Cooks).

Since we do have to eat the rest of the weekend, I’m really looking forward to trying out these Pistachio Orange Blossom Biscotti with a good cup of tea tomorrow. Perfect for a little rest on the couch with a good book, no?

And finally, if you want to get ahead for next week – try these 15 Freezable Toddler Meals. I think my little guy will love the cheesy turkey meatballs!

Ok friends, I’m off to work for the evening. Have a great start to your weekend!
