What a week! My beloved Sooners won the Sugar Bowl, my sorry KC Chiefs choked in the playoffs (again), and Jeff and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary.
Oh, and I made my first batch of coconut chicken chili.
Friends, this is good. So good. Serve over rice or quinoa with a sprinkle of cilantro (or basil if you’re a cilantro-hater), peanuts, and a squirt of Sriracha.
I promise, you’re going to like it.
(Did I mention how good it is?)

What have you been cooking up lately?
Mmm this sounds and looks so good! Warm soups and chilis are so perfect right now! I made a smokey butternut squash and carrot soup earlier in the week and it was a perfect way to warm up 🙂
P.S. Happy Anniversary! XOXO
Happy Anniversary! That recipe sounds pretty good!
this looks soooo good – i need a bowl, actually two. Happy Anniversary 🙂
Butter beans sound like an interesting addition. This looks good.
I made this tonight. So yummy!

I made this tonight. The only thing I did differently was add a squeeze of lime to each bowl. My husband and two teenage boys loved it. This recipe will go into our regular rotation. Thank you!
