The Chili: Hearty Comfort Food

Alright, alright. We know we are “Cook with Me Darling: Healthy, Delicious, Romantic Recipes for Two” and chili might not seem very romantic. But we did make this nourishing chili bean-less…which helps in the romance department, right? And our theory is, use enough candles and every meal is romantic. N’est pas? (That’s French for “isn’t it so”, so we just nailed more romance right there. Bam!)

The Chili and Cashew Crema:

We wanted to keep this meal Paleo/Whole30, so it needed to be dairy free. But what chili is complete without and creamy topping? In this case we chose an “easy cashew crema” by whisking together cashew butter and lime juice. It adds just the right texture and flavor. If you prefer, of course you can use sour cream.
