Tonight I tried (for the first time) a white bean chicken chili recipe. I've taste tested it all day (it is simmering in crock pot), and I must say it is pretty damned good! I will also be making some cornbread to go with it.

I love when the somewhat cold weather hits. I've been making soups, stews, and chilis all week!

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

Irish fish stew.  And the last summer squash for this season.   :bawl:

ETA: I made a pretty wicked beef stew in my crock pot today, to eat on this week.

Oh I agree.  I just got a new cookbook of soup, stew and chili recipes, and I've been waiting impatiently for the weather to get cold enough so I could try them out. 

This evening I made lamb shoulder chop with cannellini beans and kale.  Cooked low and slow in my Dutch oven until the meat just fell off the bone.  I love one-dish meals!

Pot roast in the oven with mushrooms and slivered onions.

Will be doing garlic smashed potatoes, gravy, and steamed broccoli.

Going to steam some cauliflower, puree it with butter, parsley, mild cheddar for me instead of the potatoes.... :whatever:

Where'd you go?  Carl's Jr. has a decent patty melt.

I have one TV dinner left... meatloaf.

I made baked ziti for the first time.  I'm really happy with the way it came out.  The tomato sauce was nice and rich, and the cheese topping was browned just right.  Some crusty bread and a green salad rounded thins out nicely. 

To paraphrase the great Hannibal Smith from The A-Team: I love it when a recipe comes together.   :-)

Can't decide between a homemade pot of beef stew or using the crockpot for teriyaki chicken. Decisions, decisions....
