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!

One thing I don’t think I fully understood when we made this move was that reinvention isn’t one big moment. It’s a thousand small decisions.

When we left Oregon, I wasn’t running away from something. I loved our life there. I loved our clients, our community, our routines.

What surprised me was realizing that gratitude and restlessness can exist at the same time. You can be deeply thankful for the life you’ve built and still feel pulled toward something new.

For me, that feeling showed up long before we packed a single box. It showed up in quiet moments. Little questions I couldn’t shake. Curiosity about what else might be possible if I stopped choosing the familiar answer every time.

Moving across the country, renovating a nearly 100-year-old home, rebuilding community, growing a business in a new place—it all sounds very exciting when I list it out now.

Living through it felt much messier. There were plenty of moments where I questioned our decision. Moments where I missed what was comfortable. Moments where I wondered if we were crazy. But I’ve learned that growth rarely feels certain when you’re in the middle of it.

And if there’s one thing I hope people take away from this, it’s that you don’t need to have everything figured out before taking the first step. You just need enough courage to trust yourself with what’s next.

I’d love to know—have you ever made a decision that scared you but changed your life for the better?
