Foodie Friday: Chili & Cornbread Recipes For The Big Game & Beyond

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. Most of all I love the hoopla, the entertainment, and the food. There's nothing more comforting than a big bowl of chili on a cold Winter Sunday. And one simply can't have chili without some cornbread to dip into it. So this recipe roundup features both chili and cornbread that go beyond the norm. Think Cornbread with Maple Bacon Butter, Chicken Chili Con Carne Stuffed Sweet Potato Skins, and more. Scroll down for some super inspiration.

HERE: 21 Recipes That Score

Steak and Soda Chili

Now this is what chili should look like. It's made with one can of Dr. Pepper, if you can believe. So very interesting!

BHG

Buffalo Chicken Chili

This hearty one pot meal can be put together and ready to eat in one hour. The "buffalo" part of the chili comes from the addition of prepared ranch dressing.

Chocolate Moosey

 Bacon Cheddar Cornbread

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

Ancho Chorizo Chili

This chili gets its' "oomph" from chorizo sausage, fire roasted tomatoes, and a generous amount of Ancho powder. Perfect for those who love their chili with a Mexican vibe.

Simply Scratch

Creamy Vegetarian White Chili

It sure looks filling and cozy, doesn't it? You can easily make this vegan by swapping out the whole milk for your favorite non-dairy milk.

Vegetarian Ventures

Cornbread with Maple Bacon Butter

Oh my! How unusual is this cornbread? I can attest that adding maple butter on top of cornbread is absolutely delicious!

Gordon Ramsay Restaurants

Crockpot Carne Asada Beer Chili

This is just like a carne asada taco, but in chili form. The recipe calls for cooking the meat all day, and then topping it with seasoned baked potato wedges, and every other topping you can think of! Oh Yum!

Half Baked Harvest

Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins

{ Gluten Free, Vegetarian }

Healthier than your average cornbread, and it comes together in less than 30 minutes.

Minimalist Baker

Slow Cooker Turkey Sweet Potato Chili

This one sounds delicious. To make it even healthier, use ground Turkey Breast, instead of plain Ground Turkey. You will cut out about 80% of the fat.

Heather Christo

White Chicken Chili

This recipe features easy prep, creamy texture, and healthy ingredients. This is not a spicy recipe, but you can always spice it up to your liking. it also calls for the use of an Immersion blender. If you don't have one, Williams Sonoma has some on sale.

Well Plated

Raspberry Chipotle Black Bean Chili Recipe

The secret to this chili are the frozen raspberries. How unique! It is perfect for vegetarians as there is no meat in the ingredient list.

Fantastic Food

Chicken Chili Con Carne Stuffed 

Sweet Potato Skins

Here's a half way healthy game day appetizer. They are said to be easy peasy. They really are cute, too.

Half Baked Harvest

Crockpot Paleo Chili

If you started a healthy diet regime for the New Year, you can keep on track for the Superbowl! According to the author, "This dish is a delicious, incredibly easy, and healthy version of the perfect Super Bowl Sunday supper." 

It's made with both Chuck Roast and ground beef. Looks delish!

The Modern Proper

Cheddar and Jalapeño Skillet Cornbread

My Mom made her corn bread in a skillet. It was so good, but probably not as yummy as this recipe. It's said to be crispy on the bottom (makes sense) and moist on the inside. Perfect!

Foodie Crush

Smoky BBQ Bourbon Crock Pot 

Chicken Chili

I have a feeling that this recipe might be requested this weekend. It must be fork tender, as it cooks for 10 hours. The bourbon will take it up a notch!

The Endless Meal

Chili Cheese Polenta Bowls

The fun to this recipe is the layering of cheesy polenta, chili, cheese, limes, chips and all that. I personally adore polenta, so this recipe is on a must try list! Click though to see a great step by step video.

How Sweet Eats

Lee Bailey's Sour Cream Corn Bread

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! 

Saveur

Seafood Chili

Oh this bowl has my name written all over it. It's a twist on a classic with fresh veggies and seafood.The added lime gives this recipe pizazz!

All Recipes

Chili Cheese Dogs

And for Mr. Shop This.....his absolute favorite. You have to love those Fritos on the side, too.

Joy The Baker

Stovetop Chili Mac Casserole

The only thing better than mac and cheese is chili mac! It's perfect for game day or any day of the week!

Our Best Bites

Caramel Pecan Cornbread Pudding

Have you ever thought of cornbread as dessert? It's like bread pudding but made with cornbread. I'm game for this gooey dessert!

Foodie Friday: All The Right Ingredients For A 

Super Bowl Party

Stock Your Registry For Entertaining At Bloomingdale's

{ Via: Bloomingdale's }

One of the perks of getting married is the happy chore of registering for gifts! It's a bit daunting but you can enjoy it if you have a plan and a vision. Bloomingdale's makes it easy to achieve your #HomeGoals. You'll find a printable check list, expert advice, benefits, discounts, and lots of inspiration. I suggest that you shop one category at a time. Today let's talk all things "entertaining" for your home. I've narrowed down the selection for you 
with some fab finds.

HERE: 17 Ways To Add Some Luxe 
To Your Registry

Lenox Prismatic Gold Dinnerware

Artful with playful dots, this dinnerware is modern table dressing. I am one who feels that a new couple actually does need at least two sets of dishes. One for every day, and one for special occasions. Even if you live a casual lifestyle, there will be the day when you find yourself hosting the holidays or entertaining the boss. This is fun! But if you want something a little more casual, scroll down.

Ricci Argentieri Place-Setting

Flatware that makes a bold statement, and pairs well with the above dishes.

 

Kiva Platters
Because presentation is key! Serve up cheese, charcuterie, or any time of appetizer on these Anna New York by Rablab pieces. See the entire collection HERE. 

Annieglass Serverware
Sustainably handcrafted in California, these pretty party pieces mix metals in the best ways. Most styles are available in both silver or gold gilt. 

Orrefors Ice Cube Votive

You'll have plenty of chances to set the mood in your new marriage. These gorgeous glass cubes are modern and blend perfectly into every decor. I'd request a dozen of  them for all of your parties to come.

Nambe Cabo Salad Set

You will use this artistic design for years to come. Perfect your Caesar Salad skills, and serve it in this.

SFERRA Festival Cocktail Linens
You may no think you need these, but think again. Paper is cute for kids parties, but you are grown up. Nothing beats linen. These are not expensive, especially if you aren't paying for them. There is a color for every decor. Ask for plenty, too. 

All-Clad Stainless Steel Fondue Set 
Fondue for two or twenty two is always a good time. The ceramic insert of this set is a good thing. If you want to throw a party and use one for cheese or oil and one for dessert sauces, you may want to register for more than one.

Lulu Assorted Champagne/Martini Glasses

Now this is a good idea. Loving the modern contemporary lines of this glassware. And because everyone drinks something different, you get four unique designs, for four different cocktails. I would request at least six sets of these, because glasses break! 

Luigi Bormioli Beer Glasses
Always keep a couple in the freezer to serve up a craft beer to your guests. These are an affordable "must have!"

Jars Plume Dinnerware
Who says your everyday dinnerware has to be boring? This hand crafted stoneware from France is anything but, and still nice enough to use for company. Loving the organic look.

Riedel Stemless Wine Glasses
Riedel O gives a modern take to the traditional wine tumbler. I love the idea of a wine glass without a stem, but I do think that you need both. These take up less room, and are the perfect weight for holding and sipping.

Wine Enthusiast Push Corkscrew
As entertaining to watch as it is easy to use! 

Magisso Champagne Cooler

The entertainer really needs two champagne coolers. One for casual events (think kitchen counter or poolside) and one for special occasions. This one is fun because Of the chalkboard fabrication. It also keeps your bottles cold for 2- 4 hours. 

Villeroy & Boch Octavie 

These fabulous glasses also have a matching wine, champagne and old fashioned styles. Aren't they wonderful?  They are a little more expensive than some, but remember, you aren't paying for them.

Michael Aram Driftwood Cake Stand

Made of marble and nickel. This stand will make any cake sweeter! There is also a matching
Cake Server. 

Juliska Carine Champagne Bucket
Clearly chic and works with any decor. This beautiful bucket adds a touch of glam 
to any party.
