I've actually made time to cook a bit again, though mostly simple stuff right now. Over the weekend I had a chance to cook my favorite dish--chili! Every time I make chili it comes out just a bit different and I love coming up with different blends. This batch was two types of beans, Boca crumbles, loads of onions, jalapenos, and poblano peppers I roasted myself--along with the standard cumin, chili powde, and salt. The whole thing simmered all day long, filling my house with a tasty, spicy scent! Unfortunately, I held off on having a bowl, having had a bit of an unstable stomach over the weekend. I tasted it, though, and it's one of my best batches yet! I froze the majority of it so that I can thaw it out (and sprinkle with a bit of chedar cheese!) whenever I need a warm up.
What's your favorite recipe to tuck away for a rainy day?
