Life Lately: Volume 116

Happy Friday!

It was so fun to put this post together and has felt so good to get back into blogging over the last two weeks. This week I've been feeling really healthy and good which is a nice change. It's crazy how when you're sick or in pain for a while how amazing it feels to just feel normal.

Buffalo Chicken Chili

With everything going on this summer, I stopped creating recipes and testing them completely. I missed it, but was just too tired and overwhelmed, and stuck to tried and true classics when I did cook. Now that I'm finally feeling better, it feels so good to get creative in the kitchen again!

I wanted to use some jalapeño peppers from the garden before they went bad and was craving a hearty soup, so the other night I decided to try my hand at a buffalo chicken chili and woah.
