Between school, birthdays and football parties? It seems like I'm always trying to come up with some sort of a dish to take somewhere! So I thought I'd share with you an easy, quick and delicious side dish that you can just throw together and take just about anywhere! Cornbread is ALWAYS a big hit in our house! A quick meal is to toss some leftover beef chili (like this delicious Slow Cooker Lumberjack Chili) over the top, add a pinch of cheese and sour cream and you've got a delicious and quick dinner! But it's also fun to just grab a piece for a snack, with a little bit of butter! We've found quite a few ways to add some flavor to our cornbread over the years, but my absolute favorite is Green Chiles!! Green Chile and ... read more
Green Chile and Corn Queso Dip
My sister is visiting from Nebraska, and while we were at church the other day we were all talking about our favorite ways to include Green Chile! (We're a little excited for Chile Fest, but who isn't?) Of course, the most popular was breakfast burritos! (Maybe because our youth group was selling them, but who knows.) But my sister wasn't so sure about this green chile thing, so I decided the best way to indoctrinate her would be to make a delicious snack! Fast forward to Saturday afternoon and we decided we were going to have a movie night, and with any good movie night you need a snack! So I took one of my favorite dip ideas, and decided to add Pueblo Chiles! The results were amazing! Green Chile and Corn Queso ... read more
Green Chile Mac and Cheese
I love Green Chile! But twelve years ago, before moving to Pueblo? I have to admit (sadly) that Green Chile was nothing to me, aside from the weird-looking sauce poured over my burrito when the local Mexican Restaurant in my Nebraska hometown messed up my order and put green sauce instead of red. But in the past few years? It's become a regular staple in our diet, buying a huge bag each year at Chile Fest and then using it throughout the year! Mac & Cheese is a favorite in our house, of course, that's not surprising since I have a six-year-old! I've always added veggies in to sneak them into her diet - broccoli, peas and green beans being her favorite. But a few months ago I decided to try Green Chile, and what I got? It was a ... read more

Chile, Chili, or Chilli
We have just over a month to go until the 20th Annual Chile & Frioles Festival! (September 19-21) So after a bit of discussion, we've decided to focus on our beloved Pueblo Chile for the next month! (Don't worry - we'll still be bringing you local events, but since we are ALL THINGS PUEBLO? We figured we should focus on the all important Pueblo Chile! ) While discussing which of our favorite chile recipes to feature (Like this delicious recipe for Pueblo Green Chile!) we decided that we needed to settle this debate first. Chile, Chili or Chilli? The Official Chile Fest site uses the "Chile" spelling. (Growing up, I always heard that Chile was the pepper, and Chili was the soup!) But I know that everyone I know uses different ... read more
