I made enough chili in my crockpot.

There’s no time of year I like more than autumn. Crisp and rustling days with their Earth tones, a thick-socked morning giving way to as-long-as-you’re-in-the-sun afternoons and a fleece blanket draped night, draped–not buried. And chili is appropriate again. Chili, the perfect cool-weather eat. With some heart and some heat and as a vehicle for chopped green onion, my favorite garnish, chili travels well, gets better through the week and does wonders for my sinuses. Plus color! Topped with some fresh green and yellow, chili reels in the compliments during lunch.
