Need a quick, comforting & delicious meal this week? Break out the slow-cooker (or Instant Pot) to make some chili. Four easy fall chili recipes (+ honey cornbread muffins). Heyy girl, hey! Here's the situation. Sometimes, the "I don't wanna cook" feeling spans several days in a row.

And right on a lil strip in Gaithersburg, MD is a taqueria called Ixtalapala that is pretty hard to describe because of how good it is. Impressively authentic.

And when you’re not…well… You don’t need me to tell you what happens then. Moral of the story? Be on the ball. 😎✌🏽 (True story 👆🏽🤷🏽♀️) If you don’t have time for cooking, no, no, no.
