Jalapeño Chevre Cornbread and Vegetarian Chili

Back home and getting ready for the week--we decided to do chili and cornbread for lunch. I still had the last little chunk of goat cheese hanging around, so I threw it into the cornbread muffins, along with some chopped up jalapeños.


Nice and creamy--though the flavor is a bit strong. Neither of us mind it, but I'm thinking next time I'd probably try something less strong--perhaps a dollop of plain cream cheese.
Vegetarian chili--I make it about the way one would make regular chili, except that's tvp instead of hamburger. Don't knock it until you try it! Inexpensive and with something already so flavorful, it really doesn't stand out. Even Tavo, the guy who won't touch tofu with a 10 foot pole, actually said in the grocery store, "Naw, I don't need hamburger chili--I'll just eat the vegetarian stuff. It's pretty good!"


I'm back in Atlanta, now--glad I was able to get here despite the weather! It snowed like crazy in Baltimore yesterday. I went for a quick jog anyways, just to see the harbor and everything. Brr! I needed to jog in order to keep from freezing :) Very cool city--I need to come back when its at least 50 degrees warmer.
