The Best Spicy Chili – Loaded with Flavor and Easy to Make

by
The Best Spicy Chili

In the winter months (and sometimes in the summer, too), if I ask my husband what he wants for dinner, I am going to get one of two answers – potato soup or The Best Spicy Chili. I have been making my chili this same way for years, and I have yet to have any better! If you like your food with a kick, you are going to love this recipe! Making this chili takes just about 15 minutes, and then you will just let all of the flavors simmer together. Top it with some sour cream, shredded cheese, green onion or avocado and enjoy it with some crackers or cornbread. Try this one out – you won’t regret it!

I don’t like serving anything that doesn’t add a good amount of flavor to a meal, and that is why I love this Habanero Lime Rice. This rice has both habaneros and jalapeños and it also has cilantro and lime juice. This is one side dish that is anything but bland, and if you aren’t careful, it may even outshine your main dish!

White Queso Dip – Like your Favorite Mexican Restaurant!

by
White Queso Dip

If you are like me – every time you go to a Mexican Restaurant you are ordering queso (and probably the large one). If my husband and I go to any other type of restaurant, we usually spend an eternity trying to force each other to decide what type of appetizer we want to share. If we go to a Mexican place, it is just an unwritten rule – we ARE getting queso. I have been trying for a while to make the perfect white queso dip at home, and it has been really difficult. But today, I finally got it right! I guess it just needed to be Cinco de Mayo for it to work out!
