Cranberry Orange Pecan Salad
Winter means don’t always have to be warm and hearty. Sometimes (like when it’s 80 degrees out in December) you just need something cool and light to enjoy. That’s where I’m at right now. This Cranberry Orange Pecan Salad takes the flavors of winter and puts them into salad form so that you get the best of both worlds.
For being a super flavorful, this salad is made with just a few ingredients and you can even make it ahead of time ‘salad jar’ style if you leave the dressing separate until you’re ready to enjoy. The dressing is good stuff too. I tried to get plenty of orange goodness in there to play well with the sweet of the dried cranberries and the sharp of the feta cheese…

So, I wanted some chili but with it being Spring I wanted a chili that maybe had a little more of a brightened up twist to it. That’s why I came across the idea for a Jamaican themed chili. It’s basically a pretty standard meat and bean chili that’s got all the delicious warm and bright flavors that you tend to see in Jamaican dishes.
There is some heat to this chili, but not a whole WHOLE lot. If you want it to be a touch hotter, try using a hotter pepper in place of the jalapeño. Think habanero or scotch bonnet! I’m not quite that brave myself so I stuck with the jalapeño…
