This has been the shortest week and the longest week ever. The week flew by because I was so busy, but at the same time it felt like it was dragging and never going to end because I was so busy. Does that even make sense? Maybe this week was all just a blur for me.
Well, it is Friday and the weekend is finally here. I survived. Sort of. I have barely slept, I have eaten way too many cookies, and I think I only washed my hair once this week. I did shower though so there is that. Oh, and I did make Green Chile Cheddar Cheese Cornbread so there is that too.
Josh knew I had a stressful week so he volunteered to make dinner. He made our favorite chili recipe and when I smelled it simmering away on the stove I got super excited and super hungry.
I put my work away and went into the kitchen to see if Josh needed any help. Since Josh is a super husband and super dad, he already had the chili done and the kitchen was spotless. He was coloring with the boys at the table. What a guy!
I knew my boys would love cornbread with their chili so I decided to bake up a pan of cornbread while they colored. I was going to make my favorite Easy Cornbread recipe, but I decided to jazz it up a little. I added green chiles and cheddar cheese to my favorite recipe and it was so yum! It was the perfect side to our chili dinner. We all enjoyed dunking our cornbread into our big bowls of chili. It was the perfect fall meal.
The next time you make chili or soup, make a pan of easy Green Chile Cheddar Cheese Cornbread to go with! You will be glad you did.
Enjoy your weekend! TGIF!
