chili

Halloween is less than a week away and that means it’s time to make chili! We make chili every year for Halloween (whether it’s warm or cold out!). It always seems like the perfect way to kick off the holiday season! We make our go-to chili recipe using ground turkey and it’s loaded with all kinds of organic vegetables and spices. It’s super healthy and the whole family loves it!

When feeding our family of five, we’re always looking for ways to save, while not compromising the quality that we always look for. Walmart’s private label brands are a great way for us to save and get the healthy organic foods we like. Walmart carries so many organic products, including spices, canned beans and tomatoes, as well as fresh organic produce. Basically everything we need to make our go-to chili recipe! Walmart private label is a great choice when shopping for our family, because we know we will get the best prices along with top quality ingredients.

Thank you Walmart for collaborating with us on this post.

It finally feels like fall in Dallas! And when fall rolls around our taste buds turn to comfort food, like chili. There’s something about warm and spicy that just hits the spot, and it’s great no-fuss football food. This chili is a twist on traditional chili. It’s lighter and healthier, while still ticking the boxes of comfort food. And with Thanksgiving just around the corner, it’s a great way to use your leftover turkey. As aways, we try to use organic ingredients whenever possible. We love it and hope you will, too!
