Cozy Meal by the Fire

Weeknight Chili and Cornbread

When the kids were younger and trick o' treating was a BIG deal, we would invite friends and family over for a big batch of chili and cornbread before heading out for the sugar-palooza hunt! It was the perfect way to warm everyone up before walking in the chilly fall night ... and to get the kids to eat something healthy. It has since become a family tradition, so we thought we'd share!

Even though the kids are past the trick o’ treating days, we still love making a pot of chili. It’s the perfect weeknight meal, and makes great leftovers when you need a quick and hearty lunch. This recipe is courtesy of Tieghan over @halfbakedharvest. We love many of her dishes, and this one does not disappoint! It’s so easy, and a timesaver since you can make it in the slow cooker, which is our go-to appliance in the fall. Derrick puts it all in the cooker, and when we get home at dinnertime, it’s ready to eat!

We recently tried her Sweet Honey Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread Biscuits, and they are amazing as well. The buttery flavor and flaky biscuits are super delicious with a big bowl of chili. Derrick puts out different toppings so everyone can help themselves and top the chili with their favorite combo. My personal fave is cilantro, avocado and a big dollop of sour cream. Let us know if you try these recipes this fall!

It’s finally here! We just launched our Clouz Houz Design Guides to help you create a designer space that feels effortless and pulled together. So you don’t have to second guess making design choices.
Comment “GUIDE” and we’ll send you the link to explore all of the Design Guides + learn more!
What’s inside?
- A step-by-step approach to designing a home that feels cohesive (no more mismatched pieces that don’t flow)
- Designer-approved tips for mixing styles, layering textures, and creating a collected feel
- Virtual designer showroom access with links to exact items to help you make decisions faster—with confidence
This has been a passion project of mine for a while. I’ve always dreamed of making design feel more approachable and empowering-something people could truly enjoy without feeling overwhelmed. I know not everyone has access to a full-service designer, and that’s exactly why I created these guides.
To help you bring your vision to life, with the clarity and confidence to make decisions you’ll love.
Understated eclectic… all the relaxed fun and colorful vibes- without trying too hard. Think a Soho loft or a Hollywood Hills bungalow. We love everything about this aesthetic! 
What about you? Does this hit for you? Or share with a friend that you think would love!
Are you struggling with how to design rooms in your home? We get it. We hear it all the time from our clients!
In just two days, we’re launching something that will take the stress, second-guessing, and costly mistakes out of designing your home.
Creating a space you love shouldn’t feel overwhelming, expensive, or like a total guessing game. But too often, people get stuck-scrolling Pinterest for hours, impulse-buying decor that doesn’t quite fit, mixing too many styles, and then wondering why their home still doesn’t feel quite right.
The truth? Great design isn’t just about picking pretty pieces-it’s about having a vision first.
- Knowing what works together.
- What to buy (and what to skip).
- Where to invest, and how to pull it all together in a way that actually feels like you.
And that’s exactly what we’re about to help you with.
A way to confidently put together a designer-approved space-without hiring a designer or wasting money on the wrong pieces.
