Paleo and whole30 chili made with cauliflower. Full of flavor, healthy, and satisfying. The kind of home-cooked meal that makes you all comfy inside. Recipe can be made ahead and frozen.
I am getting all sorts of feels from dreaming of this chili.
Seriously one of my longest standing favorites.
This was one of my first-very-own paleo creations.
I would make this chili when I was just starting out and experiment, trying to get all the flavor just right. …I couldn’t stay away.
chili is life
This stuff is seriously GOOD.
Grab your spoon baby, because we are diving into this chili like it’s no mans business.
Shoveling spoonfuls of chili since ’96. Who’s with me?
This soup freezes well. I like to make it ahead of time and meal prep.
Then later in the week(s) when the chili cravings are real, I pull out my already made delicious cauliflower chili and EAT.
Spring is here!!!!!!!!!!!!! A little excited, maybe? Oh yes.
Everything in the mountains is in bloom; this is that rare time of year that everything is vibrant green in nature.
Needless to say, I can’t stay away from the hiking trails and sun.
Whenever the weather warms up like this, I always take my meals onto the porch, my yoga on the porch, naps, and my work.
This is why my dream house looks like a retirement home for windows and doors of all shapes and sizes.
But seriously.
It’s amazing the new life spring brings.
I can’t wait to share a few new major-projects I have in the works (waiting is SO HARD!).
Okay, but we are here for chili, so here you go. Let’s eat!
