The slightly cooler temps have me craving Fall foods. After being out of town a few days and eating every meal out I was more than ready to get back in my kitchen and cook. I love dining out and experiencing new restaurants but I really love creating something tasty at home. This chili could not be easier and it is packed with flavor. The cornbread is super simple and a favorite my mom always makes. You can eat it by the slice but it is fun to cut it into croutons for garnish! Added bonus both my kids loved it. I did serve theirs before adding the jalapenos in so it was less spicy.

If you are looking for a good soup pot I have this one and love it. It was a wedding gift 9 years ago and I still use it often. Le Creuset is expensive but totally worth it.
This is a less expensive version and I have heard great things about the Martha Stewart line. This one is more than 50% off right now and under $100!

I wanted to share one of my favorite NYC purchases. I am a sucker for a good tee shirt. This one is so soft and I like the fit. I am wearing a size small. I probably could have worn the XS as this runs on the larger side but I like my tees looser.
I went with the white color but I really liked the green too.

Are you not making vegetarian meals anymore? I love your meal posts and have been a vegetarian since the start of the year. That soup looks good...I'm going to try it without the chicken. :)
The chili sounds delicious. I am going to have to try it. I also have never made cornbread but your recipe sounds so easy and moist.
Just made this meal - AMAZING! Thank you!
