It’s pouring rain right now. POURING. We keep looking out the window, mouths wide open, “It’s still raining. Can you believe it? It’s still raining!“
Rain means a break from the heat.
Rain means a preview of fall temperatures.
Rain means chili.
This is an older recipe, which means I haven’t updated it for our paleo low-FODMAP month, but this would be easy to tweak. I’ll just take out the beans, onions and garlic, and leave off the cheese. But you should leave them in if you can. It’s better that way.
This recipe comes together in only 30 minutes, making it perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
Enjoy the chili, I’m off to stare at the rain some more.
