Foodie Friday: Chili 12 Ways & A Few Cornbread Recipes

 As soon as the calendar says Fall, I find myself craving chili. I think "Mr. and Miss Shop This" might agree, Chili is one of my specialties. There are three ingredients that I always include: chocolate, beer, and a side of corn bread. The rest varies depending on mood. Won't you join me in a big bowl of hot chili? These recipes will get you in the mood for Fall food!

HERE: 16 Chili & Cornbread Recipes

Award Winning Chili

I think that this is how every bowl of chili should look like. Yes, I like mine fully loaded. Get up early to make this, as it cooks for 8 hours!

The Modern Proper

Fire & Ice Chili

The not so secret ingredient to this recipe is dark chocolate ice cream! The author says the depth of flavor that it adds to the chili is "insane." I can believe that. I always add chocolate to mine. Click to read more about this 

magical recipe.

Chili Cheese Steak Stew

Doesn't this just look like a bowl of love! It's made with shaved sirloin, like the kind that is in a Philly Cheese steak sandwich. Can you believe that I have never had one of those? There's also yummy additions like chipotle pepper in adobo and all of that cheese!

The Cozy Apron

Chili Meatballs In A Black Bean & Tomato Sauce

This sounds so very good. And the sprinkled Crispy Chorizo is just the topping this dish needs!

Pure Wow

Seafood Chili in Tortilla Cups

Wow! This looks and sounds delicious! You need to plan ahead as the beans need to be soaked over night. A great starter

 or appetizer!

Crockpot Carne Asada Beer Chili

Is there any other way to make chili than with beer? I always get two cans out. One for the pot and one for the chef (me) and sous chef to split. This recipe begins with flank steak and goes up from there. Those fritos? Super good in chili.

Half Baked Harvest

Zoe Nathan’s Bacon Cheddar Muffins

At heart these are corn muffins with a little extra something!

Rotisserie White Chicken Chili 

Paprika and Cayenne give this easy recipe it's color and depth of flavor. Best yet, you can buy the chicken already cooked! 

Brown Eyed Baker

Slow Cooker Turkey Sweet Potato Chili
The recipe calls for ground turkey, but doesn't say dark meat or breast. If you are watching fat content, get the turkey breast. Your chili will be done in four hours when cooked on high or 8 hours on the low setting. 

Heather Christo

Pepper Jack–Bacon Cornbread

If you can believe this recipe calls for a box mix. So it could not be easier.  I will add that I think the boxed mixes need a pinch or two of sugar.

touch of heat.

How's that for a mouthful? It's gluten free and creamy thanks to the slightly sweet pumpkin added. Very unique!

Ambitious Kitchen

Farmers Market Corn Bread

Gluten Free

What a gorgeous and healthy looking dish! Besides the fresh veggies, it's loaded with feta cheese. I bet any kind of cheese would work just as well.

Foodie Friday: Fabulous Fish & Seafood Recipes

Seafood is my favorite. I could eat seafood and fish every day of my life with no problem. It's been a year since I featured fish on the blog. Since tomorrow is #NationalCrabCake day, it's time to go fishing. This recipe roundup will make a fish lover out of anyone.

HERE: 15 Recipes & Cooks Tools

Crab Cakes
Oh how I love a good crab cake. The very best I have ever had was at the Beekman Arms Hotel in Rhinebeck, New York. This recipe is surely lighter than most, as it calls for panko break crumbs instead of the normal crackers. 
The Cozy Apron

Sicilian Seafood Stew With Couscous
This recipe features a bounty of fish and seafood. The couscous, a North African staple, soaks up all of the stew's delicious juices. And aren't the dishes fabulous? They are actually made from melamine, making them perfect for alfresco dining. See them HERE. Find the recipe 
by clicking below.
Williams Sonoma Taste

Spicy Brown Rice Tuna Roll Bowl
This is a bowl of happiness for me. For the bowls themselves, they are a simple mix of brown rice, seared sesame seed crusted tuna, avocado, and veggies. Beautiful, healthy, and easy!
Half Baked Harvest

Maine Style Lobster Rolls
My favorite food mixed with mayonnaise? Yes please! This recipe showcases the "knuckles" of the lobster, which are the sweetest part of the meat. These look sinfully delicious.
Food and Wine

Poached Salmon with Cucumber, Cress, and Caper Sauce
Selected for it's elegance, this dish is made 
for entertaining!
Martha Stewart

20 Minute Caribbean Shrimp Tacos with Roasted Jalapeño Pineapple Salsa
A long title for a very easy recipe. If you haven't had a Shrimp Taco yet, you are missing out. They beat beef any day. If you are like me and are not heading to the Caribbean any time soon, this recipe will make you feel like
 you are there.
Half Baked Harvest

Smoked Salmon 7 Layer Dip
Dip is generally not served in my home. I have a "been there done that" mindset of most dips. This recipe is different. And isn't it attractive? I think it is Easter Brunch worthy.
The Seaside Baker

Williams Sonoma Fish Plate
Loving the vibrant colors of these plates. They are designed to go from grill to stovetop to oven to table. Best yet, they are on sale at
Williams Sonoma

Market Street Clam Chowder
Said to be the best Clam Chowder ever, so I think it is worth the try.  My Father and I didn't love the kind out of a can, and I still don't. Have you ever looked at the label? So he and I would head to HoJo's and have a steaming hot bowl of it with some fresh coconut ice cream for dessert. Oh what a memory! This recipe is fattening as h@ll  with half and half, flour, and lots of butter. But all of that is what makes it the very best!
Foodie Crush

Scallops Puttanesca
Said to be fast, easy, and fantastic, this slightly spicy recipe packs a bunch of flavors.
Inspiration Kitchen

Grilled Shrimp with Vanilla Beurre Blanc
Now this is fancy, and also very interesting. Vanilla and shrimp? Don't be intimidated by the French title. It's actually simple to make. Click below to see a video. 
Foxes Love Lemons

Crab Rangoon Deviled Eggs
I make deviled eggs rather often, as in several times a week. I find it fun elevating them with unusual ingredients. And though I have never added crab meat, I do use leftover salmon quite frequently. I mean how can cream cheese, crab, and scallions be anything but delicious?
I Am A Food Blog

BLT Salmon Salad with Creamy Avocado Green Goddess Dressing
I am not sure which component of this dish looks more appealing?  It's a healthy 
bowl of goodness!
Heather Christo

Cheesy Crab Gratin
"This Swedish gratin of shredded crabmeat is traditionally made using Västerbotten, a salty aged cows' milk cheese, but Parmesan works well as a substitute." It also calls for anchovies, but I will leave them out. Sounds fab though.
Saveur

Stonewall Kitchen Seafood Rub
I have been told that this rub is fabulous. Personally, I always make my own rubs, but for those of you that don't enjoy the creation process, this is for you.
Sur La Table

Crab Omelette With Miso Butter
I make omelettes often but never think about adding seafood of any kind. Doesn't it look so delicious?

Foodie Friday: Fabulous Fish & Seafood Recipes

It's National Crab Meat Day. What a great excuse to do a seafood recipe roundup. How often do you serve seafood at home? This week, it has been three times at the Shop This kitchen. It's my favorite type of food, and I like it almost all ways, except any fish with bones. Even if you aren't a seafood lover, I just know that you will find something tempting here. Can you say Joe's Crab Shack Hot Crab Dip?  

HERE: 20 Recipes & Cook's Tools

Chile Lime Salmon Fajita Salad with Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette
This recipe is a fresh twist on your basic grilled salmon. With all of this color, it has to be good for for us.
Half Baked Harvest 

Fish Puttanesca en Papillote with Zucchini
The very first "en Papillote" seafood entree that I experienced was at the famed Cape Cod Room in Chicago. I don't remember what type of fish it was. I do remember, however, how special it looked. This recipe is also special, but easy!
Williams Sonoma

Crab Cake Sliders With Pineapple 
Kiwi Salsa

This is one interesting recipe! And before you top it with that serious salsa, there's a spicy lime yogurt spread. None of it makes me crabby!

Seafood Utensil Set
This set translates the Asian aesthetics of movement and strength.

Tequila Shrimp Taco Salad

This recipe had me at tequila! This is not your average sad salad. You'll feel like you are eating a taco, and you won't miss the high carb tortilla.

How Sweet Eats 

Smoked Salmon Crostini
Crostini creates a chic appetizer and makes a pretty platter. Make them with smoked salmon and it will most likely be a crown pleaser, too. A note from the author: "Stay away from all the farm raised, color added salmon fakes, they are not the same animal, and definitely not the same taste."
Ciao Florentina

Big Eye Tuna Tartar Tower
One of my favorite foods of life! Mollie and I enjoy our girls night out tuna tartar in Chicago. We always order the same thing.  This recipe can be made up to 3 hours before serving, making it a great guest appetizer.
Jessica Gavin 

Freshest Catch Club - 3 Month
Here's the ultimate gift for the seafood lover. "You'll receive a selection of fresh, sustainable fish twice monthly, for three months. A fish expert curates the very best from the Fulton Fish Market in NYC, where seafood arrives before dawn each morning, and is shipped fresh to your home.
Dean and Deluca

Seared Scallop Ravioli With Lemon Rosemary Butter Sauce
What's not delicious sounding about this dish? I have never made ravioli, but this recipe looks so good, I may have to try.
Half Baked Harvest

Grapefruit And Seafood Ceviche
Now this sounds like a winner! "Grapefruit juice, fiery jalapeño, and fragrant ginger transform shrimp, scallops, and calamari into an aromatic, spicy salad"
Saveur 

Sea Letterpress Coasters
Love a good theme evening? Make it seafood from start to finish. These chic coasters will make cocktail hour a little tastier.

Honey Lime Coconut Baked Shrimp
I have some fresh shrimp. I think I will test this recipe on Mr. Shop This tonight. No doubt his favorite part of the recipe will be the butter, honey, soy sauce! Well, at least the shrimp aren't fried.
Aimee Mars

Swordfish Kebobs with Mint Pesto
These look like Spring on a stick! Pesto always brings a certain freshness. And don't worry if it isn't grilling season yet in your part of the world. I do kebobs all year long in my grill pan.

Fish Accessories at Crate and Barrel
Harborside Platter   Fish Utensils

Mediterranean Seafood Stew with Polenta Cubes { Gluten Free }
Instead of dunking crusty bread into your stew, this recipe calls for polenta. Such a great idea! You can vary the seafood in this stunning stew. Just get what you like and what is freshest. 
Williams Sonoma 

Puff Pastry Smoked Salmon and Crème Fraîche Quiche
A really good quiche is right up there with Tuna Tartar in my book of faves. The crust is made from frozen puff pastry, which means it will be very flaky. 
Foodie Crush 

Joe's Crab Shack Crab Dip
This recipe takes me back to one that Mom made for Holidays. It is super duper tasty!
Genius Kitchen 

Lobster Fra Diavolo
A family favorite. The recipe calls for live lobsters, but rest assured that frozen tails would work just fine. Even the author says so.
bon appetit  

Piral Terra-Cotta Fish Baker
Roast fish, Mediterranean-style. This earthenware baker is now greatly reduced.
