Foodie Friday: Chili, Cornbread & Cookie Bars

How do you do the big game? My cheering section will be small, but we will eat well. I'm thinking a Super Bowl (couldn't resist) of chili cooking all day sounds good.  Cornbread is a must with chili in this household. Then of course, a cookie is always a perfect sweet bite after such a big meal. So this recipe features my ideal big game meal. These recipes will score at your home, too.

HERE: 20 Super Recipes 

Sweet Potato And White Bean Chili

Let's begin with something different.  the recipe had me at sage, which is one of my favorite spices for Fall and Winter. It's hearty but meatless, which for many, is a good thing. And how about that beautiful Staub Pot? It's been greatly reduced. Shop it HERE

Williams Sonoma

Cheesy Jalapeno Cornbread

Cheesy just like cornbread should be. And this one is a little bit sweet, and I'm not mad about that. My personal tip for any recipe that has a touch of "heat" to it, is to add some sweetness to balance it all out. This recipe calls for honey, which is a healthier alternative than sugar.

Well Plated

Margarita Bars

You think there will be any tequila tasting on Sunday? If you prefer to eat your booze than drink it, this recipe is so for you. It's perfect for game day.

Crazy For Crust

Meaty Enchilada Chili Dip

Looks like chili to me, but if it is a dip, it's even better. Guaranteed there will be some double dipping going on.

Foxes Love Lemons

Rosemary Cornbread With Goat 

Cheese Butter

To me, nothing could sound any better.

Beerscotti: Chocolate Beer Biscotti, Made with Beer 

I like to say that you will never find anything on my blog that I don't love. This may be partially an exception. I mean a frosty cold bear is good on a hot day, but generally speaking I don't crave one. So the inclusion of this ever so unique recipe is for all of your beer lovers. 

This cookie is for you!

The Beeroness

Easy Jalapeno Chicken Chili And Cheddar Polenta Pot Pies

Oh how I love polenta! Pair it with chili and it is a winning combination. The rest of the ingredients are also interesting, It calls for pumpkin and thick cut bacon. Touchdown!

Half Baked Harvest

Stuffed Mexican Cornbread

This looks like one square meal. "It's cornbread stuffed with ground beef, Mexican chorizo, onion, tomatoes, smoky chipotles, black beans, corn, and a whole host of delicious spices and flavors!" I will tell you that chorizo really amps up the flavor in chili.

Broma Bakery

Vegetarian Black Bean Chili-Stuffed 

Sweet Potatoes

These look incredible! But if you don't care for sweet potatoes, I am sure that a baked potato would work just as well, except you might miss the sweetness. Easy peasy and delicious!

Make this recipe as an appetizer or sidekick to your chili, either way, I think you will score.

Made with heavy cream, this is no diet recipe, but it sure looks wonderful. It's also made with white beans, a trio of chiles and lots of seasonings for maximum flavor.

Brown Eyed Baker

Blue Corn Bread

If you ever have had a blue corn chip, you might agree that they are superior to the average yellow corn chip. So the same may be true with blue cornbread. And let's not ignore how attractive this little square of love is.

Cannellavita

Raspberry Amaretto Cookie Bars

You have to love a cookie that also looks like a pizza. According to the author, herself, "these bars have it all: a buttery crust and crumb topping with a sophisticated filling of Amaretto soaked raspberries and sweet raspberry jam for one impressive treat."

The big game is finally here. Superbowl LII happens this Sunday. I may not be the world's biggest football fan, though I do know who is playing.

So this looks hard to beat. It's made with six slices of thick cut bacon. How could it be bad?

Taste of The South

A simple recipe that can be cooked in a skillet or not. It is bound to be moist with a cup of sour cream and a can  (yikes) of creamed corn. Creamed corn sounds great, but I would make my own to avoid the chemicals and sodium of canned anything!

HERE: 15 Winning Sweet, Spicy, Smok'n Chili Recipes

This recipe got my attention as it includes chorizo sausage as an ingredient. That's something I haven't tried. It also includes chocolate, which is my own secret ingredient to a good chili!

Gourmet Traveller

Three Bean Chili Pot Pies

Aren't these fun? The pie part of the recipe is made from corn bread biscuits!

Peachy Pepper Pot Chili
This gets my vote for the most unique chili recipe. Something about the marriage of sweet fruit and spicy peppers really sounds interesting. Just look at all of that melted cheese!

 Smoky Black Bean And Sweet Potato Chili

A sweet and smoky recipe that is also vegetarian. The sweet potatoes really add a dose of color to this dish.

White Chicken Chili

This is a quick (35 minutes) and easy recipe with a lighter touch. It just may be the perfect dish for those wanting to keep their New Year's resolution of eating healthier.

Pork Chili Verde

Made with green salsa, this is one unique take on chili. The addition of cilantro and green onions takes it up a notch!

Heather Christo

Cincinnati Chili

This is new to me, as I have never heard of this dish. Said to be thinner than regular chili and made with lamb instead of beef. Layering it over spaghetti noodles really makes it unique.

Bon Appetit

Pineapple Pork Chili

I am planning to make chili from pork tenderloin on Sunday. This recipe is almost devoid of seasonings except for tablespoon of chili powder, so I won't be making it. However, the addition of pineapple really intrigues me. I think I will add that to my own sweet and spicy rendition. 

BHG

Chile Con Jamie
Have a wood burning fireplace? This cowboy style recipe will wow your guests. Chef Jamie Oliver uses  beef brisket with an added secret ingredient - coffee.
Jamie Oliver

Pork Cheek and Black Eyed Pea Chili
Have you ever had a pork cheek? The thought of it isn't very appealing, but I'm here to tell you that they are delicious and tender. I have also had black eyed Peas, and have to admit, I do not care for them. But....for all of my Southern readers, this Michael Symon recipe is for you.
Food and Wine

Crock Pot Vegetarian Buffalo Cauliflower Chili

This is not what you think it is. You won't be using bison or buffalo in this dish. The name comes from "Buffalo Sauce," as in Buffalo wings. The cauliflower adds the thickness. Such an intriguing recipe, I just had to include it.
