Jalapeño Popper Chicken Chili
This Jalapeño Popper Chicken Chili is made with ground chicken, jalapeño peppers, corn, black beans, cream cheese, and a variety of spices. The chili can be cooked in either a pressure cooker or a slow cooker; I have given instructions for both.
The chili gets its heat from the jalapeño peppers, but you can adjust the spiciness to your liking by removing the seeds from the peppers or by adding more or fewer peppers. The cream cheese adds a richness and creaminess to the chili, and the spices give it a depth of flavor.
The chili can be served with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped bacon, and additional jalapeños. It is also great for meal prep, as it can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge or freezer.

Artichoke Salad with Lemon Parmesan Dressing
My birthday was a few days ago and I bought myself an air fryer. I've been on the fence about it for well over a year. Last night I experimented with a few recipes. This Artichoke Salad with Lemon Parmesan Dressing is made with air-fried artichoke hearts (you can also just roast them in the oven), shaved Brussels sprouts, white beans, celery, parsley, and a lemon Parmesan dressing. It's so flavorful and satisfying, and it is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.

Black-Eyed Pea Ribollita
Ribollita is a Tuscan bread soup that is traditionally made from the previous day with stale bread and leftover vegetables. I made this Black-Eyed Pea Ribollita for New Year's eve. Eating black-eyed peas is meant to bring good luck for the year, and I think we could all use some. This soup is outstanding and I will be making it again. You can use any kind of beans, like cannellini beans, which are often used in Tuscan dishes.

Yellow Eye Bean Soup
These Yellow Eye Beans are from Rancho Gordo. They are amazing heirloom bean producers located in Napa, California. I decided to make this rustic Yellow Eye Bean Soup from The New York Times. These beans are absolutely incredible, and very creamy inside. These beans are rich, creamy, and mild and are traditionally used for New England style baked beans. There is nothing better on a cold night than to have rustic bean soup with some crusty bread.

Cheesy White Bean & Leek Casserole
I found this recipe for Cheesy White Bean & Leek Casserole on a package of dried beans when we lived in London in the ‘90s. As the Brits would say, this is cheap and cheerful! It’s actually one of our favorites. I haven’t made it in years and now will keep it in rotation.
