Chili is one of my favorite dishes for many reasons which I will now list.
1. It’s delicious.
2. It’s super easy to make.
3. So many varieties! You can make it with beef or chicken or turkey or vegetarian. Such an array of toppings to make everyone in the room happy.
4. It’s so delicious as a leftover.
5. It’s so warm and comforting.
6. It’s delicious!
Eating out in New York gets old, fast. So for dinner I made homemade Cajun Chicken Pasta. Another recipe from allrecipes.com. It turned out well, although I should have let the sauce sit longer to thicken, and I wish I had grilled the chicken longer.
A week prior when I had a surplus of cookies, I brought in a batch to work. I had made three different kinds, and the Ginger Molasses ones were undoubtedly a crowd favorite. At work, everyone told me how perfect they were. Moist, flavorful, sweet, delicious. I can’t take full credit. I took the recipe off of allrecipes.com.
One of my co-workers admitted that they were good, but that his chocolate chip cookies were better. This bantering led to an official bake-off challenge. I stuck to the recipe, only this time using orange juice in place of the tablespoon of water. It made a huge difference. So moist and fluffy! It also blended all the sweet and the spices together. My competitor’s cookies were pretty good, though. We weren’t too serious about the whole bake-off thing and didn’t officially arrange votes or anything. A lot of people confided in me that mine were their favorite though. So I’m counting it as a win.
