VIEW THIS EMAIL IN YOUR BROWSER Hey there! The pot can simmer all afternoon, but the pan of cornbread is what makes it dinner. I time mine to come out of the oven right as the chili's ready. Today I’m sharing seven to pick from, and whether you make it from scratch or out of a box is nobody's business but yours.😆 Southern Cornbread The old-fashioned classic. Not sweet, crisp around the outside, and exactly what a bowl of chili is asking for. Get the Recipe → Cast Iron Cornbread If you've got...

VIEW THIS EMAIL IN YOUR BROWSER Hey there, There's a difference between making chili and having a chili night. Chili night means the pot's been simmering for a while, the house smells amazing, and everybody’s in a hurry to get to the table because they know what's coming. I'm starting where I always start, with the beef ones. Wendy’s Chili My copycat of the drive-thru version, and far and away the most-made chili on my site. Thick, a little sweet, and it tastes like the one you remember. Get...

VIEW THIS EMAIL IN YOUR BROWSER Hey, friend! I love a big Sunday dinner, but I don't love spending the whole day on it!

These eight go in the slow cooker in the morning, and by the time everybody's hungry there's a full meal waiting. Roasts, chops, chicken and dumplings -- all of it hands-off -- and nearly every one makes enough...
