Chili Cornbread Bake

It is no secret I LOVE comfort food. And comfort food varies from person to person. Chili and corn bread to me are comfort food. The fun thing is growing up, it wasn't a food we ate. My family never made it, I adapted to it over the years. James LOVES chili and cornbread. So the other night I was trying to figure out something to make for us. I remembered a Hungry Girl recipe that involved chili in the crock pot and then putting cornbread on top to make like a bake. 

While I didn't have time to make the chili in the crock pot so I decided to make it like a bake. It was so simple and easy. And it was so delicious.

Okay so here are the deets, but you can make it however you like. I did follow anything I just kind of winged yet, heck that's when it comes out best.

First I browned 1 pound of Lean Ground Beef ( I made this another time too and use Extra Lean Ground Turkey)

Then when it was brown, I added a can of Chili Beans, Corn and Diced Tomatoes, No Salt Added to the pan and let it simmer for a bit

Then added it to my baking pan. I used and 8x8 pain, that way the slices were nice and thick.



In a sepereate bowl, I made the cornbread mixture. I didn't do anything fancy, I just used a typical cornbread mix. One that was in a bag from Betty Crocker, I got at Big Lots for .33 cents lol. I just followed the directions as per the package. The took the Mixture and poured it over the chili.



My oven was preheated to 425, just follow the directions of the cornbread. The meat is already cooked so you are just cooking the bread. It was 15 minutes or until a nice golden brown.


I let it cool for a little bit and soak up some of the liquid. Then cut into 8 pieces and it came out to 6pp per slice. Paired it with a salad.



Enjoy!!! This is true crowd lover!!!

    Oh man, that looks so good! I didn't become a chili and cornbread lover until I met my husband, but now it's one of my favorite combos. I'll have to try it like this!

    What a brilliant idea. I love chili AND cornbread. Only problem is, I'd be the only one eating this in my house!

At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house.

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look

Chobani Flip: Key Lime Crumble

First off I love yogurt!! I love low fat yogurt, flavored, Greek, plain, all kinds!! And I am always out looking for what is new and exciting in the yogurt world, I know I lead an exciting life!! So when these Chobani Flips came out, I was all about it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them here in Florida right away, when I went home in March to New York, I was able to find them and I fell in love. There are probably at least 10 different kinds of flips, vanilla with oats, pineapple with coconut and walnuts, blueberries with chia seeds and walnuts, coconut with dark chocolate and toasted almonds, peach with dark chocolate chips and pistachios, and my favorite key lime with white chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces. The flip part of the yogurt is the cup is split up into to two sections. One section holds the Key Lime Low Fat Greek Yogurt and the other section holds the White Chocolate Pieces with Graham Cracker Pieces. You flip the fun side into the Key Lime yogurt and
