With October officially underway, can we PA-LEASE talk about Halloween?
It’s our favorite holiday, yo.
Yes, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and 4th of July are up there in the mega fun category, but we're telling you, Halloween is a favorite! Growing up our mom would start working on our Halloween costumes pretty early to get us in the spirit. One of our favorite costumes was being a Fly Girl from In Living Color? Remember that show?! Fun factoid: J-Lo was a Fly Girl.
Our mom would also start decorating the house with ghouls. goblins, and our famous stuffed dummy, Ferdinand. What? You didn’t have a stuffed dummy growing up that you sat on the front porch the whole month of October? Just us? Sa-sweet. Besides decorating she would make big pots of chili, chicken noodle soup, and pumpkin bread. OH! And a favorite part, we would go on haunted hayrack rides, too!
If Halloween is low on your holiday favorite list, you should come spend the month of October with us, and we'll get you in the ghoulish spirit. Starting with this Turkey Chorizo Hatch Chili. Nothing screams (pun totes intended) fall and Halloween like a big batch of hearty chili. Our mom would put on a big pot right before we went trick-or-treating as kids. Talk about fuel to keep us powered for hours of candy-hunting madness.
This version of chili still packs a ton of flavor with hatch chilies, but we kept it lighter with some turkey chorizo. You can use whatever kind of protein you like – ground beef, tofu, or chicken. Just don’t skip on the hatch chilies because they are in season and the reliable addition to any chili.
Now, where is our Fly Girl costume? Wait……Ferdinand!!!!!!
