There is nothing that celebrates the taste of fall more to me than a good bowl of chili.

In honor of nearing that lovely time of year, we've gathered up the 12 Best Chili Recipes on $5 Dinners (although you can actually find a dozen more if … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili
Ever heard of wanting to face plant into your dinner? Apparently it's a 'thing' and this is the kind of meal that makes me want to plant my face right into the bowl. Because YUM. LOL I love the contradictions that happen with this soup. Like, it's soft but chunky. The sour cream and milk give it a soft consistency, but the beans and shredded chicken make it chunky. It's … [Read more...]
15 Bean Buffalo Chicken Chili
Game Day's Food is getting a facelift this year....not only is this super budget friendly, filling for your crowd, but it's ridiculously easy too! There's just something about a bowl of chili while you're watching the players freeze on the sidelines. (Maybe it's just me?!) But I love to be warm and cozy while watching the game AND the commercials. This year, I'm sharing a … [Read more...]
White Bean Chicken Chili
This white chicken chili is divine. It's packed with great flavors and has just the right "creamy kick." Actually, it doesn't really have any kick at all...thanks to the sour cream toning down the super mild spice from the green chilies. I made this for our church group dinner not long ago, and it received a number of compliments...from both parents and kids! With the … [Read more...]

Chunky Beef & 15 Bean Chili
I'm sitting here watching Sunday night football. Rather, I'm sitting here with football playing in the background. My older boys have become quite the football aficionados and I know more about football these days than I ever have in my entire life. (Thanks to the endless supply of information and stats they tell me every day.) I've always loved college football...but that … [Read more...]
Paleo Chili with Carrots and Zucchini
Hearty, hearty, hearty! If you have ever completely cut grains from your diet, you'll know that just this bowl will fill you right up. It's backwards and doesn't make sense, but omitting grains makes you feel fuller, faster. (I didn't believe it when I read about that, until I did an 'all-in Whole 30' challenge back in December.) This chili is so refreshing and somehow … [Read more...]
Chili Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Please pardon the iphone photo above. I did what I could with it in my photo editing software, but it's still an iphone photo! ;) I've done a number of stuffed potatoes and sweet potatoes on the site over the years, but never these. I love them because they are a great way to use up leftover chili. In your week's menu, you can schedule a chili meal, perhaps with some … [Read more...]
Winter Vegetable Chili
We hear it all the time when talking about cooking, shopping and frugality: eat seasonally. But what if you don't know how to cook seasonally. You can't eat seasonally if you don't know how to cook seasonal vegetables. Winter vegetables: sweet potatoes, potatoes, broccoli, kale, cabbage, brussels sprouts, carrots, parsnips, turnips and winter squash like acorn, butternut … [Read more...]
