Pumpkin Chili

There is just something about October that makes me want to grab my big dutch oven and make a big pot of chili! Maybe it’s that the crisp air is finally surrounding us or maybe it’s just that it’s National Chili Month and I’m ready for the crisp air. (because in Arkansas, October is usually the most bi-polar month of the entire year!)

All that to say, I both love and roll my eyes when Starbucks brings Pumpkin flavor out in August. Don’t get me wrong, I love Pumpkin in the fall… But in August, September October and even some of November it is HOT in Arkansas. Needless to say, it’s still fun to make chili and invite your friends over (just make sure you turn the thermostat down so you don’t overheat!)

Interesting fact: Did you know that the Midwest (Nebraska, Colorado, Washington) serve Chili with Cinnamon Rolls? So I decided to try it out… it’s amazing and very tasty! So pull out that Pillsbury container and serve ’em up!
