After trying other white chili recipes, I created my own full of ground chicken, beans, peppers, and savory herbs, hot-spicy yet sweet and creamy for a change from tomato-based chili. My partner frequently takes my cooking to work for colleagues to sample, and they said this is not only some great chili with a kick, but it's one of the best non-standard chilis they've eaten!

This creamy vegan butternut squash soup is a delightful blend of comforting fall flavors. Sweet apples complement the natural earthiness of roasted butternut squash, while almond milk adds a luscious, dairy-free creaminess.
Chef John's Peach Blackberry Flognarde
I was looking around for a name for this unusual clafoutis-like combination of peaches, blackberries, thyme, and black pepper. I saw an article that said in France a clafoutis that uses fruit other than cherries is called a flognarde. I enjoy saying flognarde so much that I think even if this recipe hadn't come out as well as it did I would still make it regularly, just to say 'flognarde'.
Greek Chicken Skewers
Greek-inspired chicken skewers with lots of flavor! Marinade is also wonderful on grilled vegetables.
