Saturdays At Shop This: Are You Game?

{ Via: Harpers Bazaar }

So it's the weekend of the Big Game, and my guess is that most of our lives wrap around that event. The cover story here has both fashion and football in mind. Virgil Abloh sent the unexpected pairing of helmets and oversized fringe footwear down the runway at Off-White's Paris show. It made a statement, that's for sure. But are you game for the look? If not, here's some other winning links. 

To see more of Virgil Abloh's styles and access the full collection, head to Moda Operandi. Here you can secure your size and skip the waitlist, only through this trunk show.

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. 

Heather Christo

Boozy Pecan Pie Bars With Sea Salt

{ Gluten Free & Vegan }

Have you ever had pecan pie with liquor in it. This home cook has never made it without some good bourbon.This is a simple no bake dessert that promises to be "the bomb."

Minimalist Baker

Instant Pot Vegetarian Chili

Thanks to the Insta Pot, this recipe cooks in minutes not hours. It's thick texture and robust blend of spices will satisfy even a meat lover.

Well Plated

Rosemary-Pecan Cornbread

{ Gluten Free }

Unique and sounds so good. Anything made in a skillet is better than not.

Healthy Aperture

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.

Daring Gourmet

Slutty Cheesecake Bars

Hey don't shoot the messenger over the name of these beautiful bars. They couldn't be easier, and the name alone will make your guests smile.

Bakers Royale

Championship Award Winning Texas

I Am A Food Blog

Salted Cashew Caramel Bars

Ohhh these look so good, don't they? And they are super easy to make. It's just a cream cheese shortbread dough, cashews drizzled in a quick caramel sauce and into the oven for 30 minutes. I think the crowds will roar.  

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. 

Host The Toast

The Seaside Baker

White Chicken Chili

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."
