Chili is one of our hands-down favorite meals, and one of our favorite recipes is the chili my mom always made. In fact, this might be the only chili recipe she ever made, and for good reason, because it. is. delicious. This hearty turkey chili recipe is flavorful, filling, and not too spicy, but it can definitely be made to be more spicy if that’s what you prefer.
My mother has been making this Black Bean Soup recipe for as long as I can remember. We’d often have soup-and-sandwiches night for dinner; Mom and Dad would enjoy this soup served in her blue stoneware soup crocks, and I’d opt for something else, like Campbell’s tomato soup or clam chowder. Black beans weren’t exactly top on my favorite foods list when I was 10. (wink)
I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to try this out. I really don’t. But now that I’ve figured out a dairy free lasagna recipe, I foresee us eating a LOT of lasagna this winter season! Which is a good thing (wink).
Now you may be thinking dairy free lasagna? How? Why? Awwwhailno! But I’m here to tell you that you CAN leave it out and still make a delicious meal.
Tis the season for sweets!
And do I have something delicious to share with you today! I baked up a batch of these scrumptious Peanut Butter Crunch Cookies with Chocolate Drizzle for a fun event that’s happening across blogland today—a Christmas Cookie Recipe Swap! It’s sort of like a cookie exchange, but since it’s happening online, we’re swapping recipes instead of actual cookies.
Friends, I have got something very special to share with you today, or rather, my friend Karista has something very special to share with you today! I’m very excited to introduce Karista of Karista’s Kitchen and one of my fellow editors at VRAI Magazine. She and I are doing a sort of flip-flop today! In the spirit of the holidays, we’re swapping posts! I am sharing a glam neutral holiday tablescape over on Karista’s blog and she is sharing four spectacular appetizer ideas here! So without further ado, I’ll let Karista take it away!
It’s the most delicious time of year! I’m so excited to be guest posting on Two Purple Couches. Emily has so graciously written a fantastic holiday tablescape post for my website, Karista’s Kitchen, and I am sharing with you a few of my favorite holiday nibbles that are simple, delicious and fuss free.
