An authentic Colorado family chili recipe I grew up eating. Everyone who eats my chili wants my mom's recipe. A flavorful tender pork chili simmered to bring out the flavor. Enjoy the chili with flour tortillas and fried potatoes. Or pour over chicken enchiladas, beef enchiladas, burritos, or tamales. Chili is always better the next day; I like to make this chili the night before so the flavors blend together.

Chef John's Hummingbird Cake
Depending on where you're from, this hummingbird cake is either your favorite cake, or you've either never heard of it! But it only takes making it one time to love it. This proven crowd-pleaser is pretty sweet but thanks to bananas, pineapples, and pecans, it's a much more interesting, tropical sweetness, and paired with an extra-light version of cream cheese frosting, it's really a perfect combination.
