Homemade Low Carb Cinnamon Toast CrunchSo coffee really does go with everything.
I knew it. Coffee is the secret to conquering late nights and blue ribbons at the chili cook off.
The effort to deliciousness ratio here is ridiculous. You do almost no work and in turn are rewarded with the soup form of a miracle.
Depending on how the weather is where you are, you either live on piping hot chili or take an ice bath at just the thought of it.
I am currently in love with both. It’s triple digits this week in LA, but next should be about half that. Thanks for the gift, Mother Nature! (No, not that gift. Get your mind out of the gutter.)
The pearl of wisdom that makes chili the perfect warm weather food? Gazpacho! Just enjoy this chili chilled (chilly chili!) and you’re in for quite the treat.
To prepare the chili, you literally throw a bunch of food into a pot and cook. Okay, not literally. But aside from the food throwing part, it’s literally that easy. (Like, oh my gosh. I’m becoming a valley girl. Someone literally help me because I can’t even.)
The secret to the incredibly complex flavor is time and espresso. (Hmm. The same could be said about how I pass my classes.)
All that’s missing is a mountain of cheese. An Everest of cheddar, if you will.
Much better.
If you’re ready for a match made in heaven, bust out your leftover kale guacamole. Ahhhhhgg so good. I die.
