This week, we got a lot of snow (at least according to Virginia's definition of a lot of snow). As I watched my children sled down the huge hill at our local elementary school, I couldn't help but think about how wet, cold, and ravenous they were going to be when we got home. Thankfully, when I saw the forecast I had planned for this, and had all the makings of a big batch of chili. It was the perfect hot meal on a cold day.

Chili is an excellent meal to make for your own family and to take to others because:

Recipes tend to make a ton. Most of my favorite chili recipes make enough for my family and enough to share.
Tomato based recipes tend to freeze and reheat well. If you happen to make a large amount that your family can't finish, freeze some in gallon freezer bags and keep it on hand in case you hear of a sudden need.
Chili is so customizable; you can find or change most recipes to fit most any dietary requests or requirement.
Unlike soup, chili is easy to transport. We recommend these containers to allow for lots of extra room.
You can send along a variety of toppings - cheese, sour cream or greek yogurt, green onion, sliced avocado, jalapenos, cilantro, tortilla chips, or Fritos. Don't forget to send along cornbread muffins and/or a simple green salad as a side.

Here are 5 of my favorite chili recipes, perfect for chilly winter days!

Black Bean and Zucchini Chili

Creamy White Chili

Vegetarian Chili with Sweet Potatoes

No Bean Chili (Keto, Whole 30 and Paleo Friendly)
