February 25th is National Chili Day! Right smack in the middle of Winter, just when cabin fever is getting real and we’re all longing for spring. It’s the perfect chance to break out a new Chili recipe to excite your taste buds.

The Chili Police could have great fun with this recipe roundup and argue that none of these recipes are indeed Chili. However for the purpose of conveying a collection of soups/stews that are seasoned with aromatics and spices most akin to Chili – we’re going to roll with it.

Black Bean Chili begins like many of our soup and chili recipes….with a medley of carrots, onions and celery. But that’s just the beginning of this flavor journey.

black beans, chipotle salsa, cilantro, corn on the cob, corn tortillas, jalapeno peppers, onion, sweet potato, zucchini

The key to bringing big flavor to these Southwest Vegetarian Tacos is to oven roast the veggies. Virtually any vegetables will work in these tacos, but I love sweet potato, onion and zucchini as my base – I added corn and jalapeño to give it a nice Southwest flavor flare.

Fire Roasted Tomatillo Guacamole from Lemony Thyme

Months and months ago when I was doing a little research on tomatillos for my Salsa Verde recipe, I ‘bookmarked’ a recipe for Fire Roasted Tomatillo Guacamole. Which translated means I wrote it on a piece of scrap paper and shoved it in my folder of recipes that I plan to make some day. Today’s the day for this crazy good recipe I found on Gilt Taste.

Farmers Market Aztec Casserole from Lemony Thyme

To say I love ‘thrifting’ is an understatement. And as a food blogger, I’m not alone. We’ve always got an eye out for unique dishes and props to use for our food photography sessions. I head straight to the dish/cookware section when I enter a thrift store then head to the cookbook shelf. Last week while visiting our local Humane Society Thrift Store I spied this gorgeous cookbook. The cover recipe was for Budín Azteca aka Aztec Casserole which matched this week’s Farmers Market bounty beautifully.
