So I haven’t written blog post in a few weeks because like many of you I’ve been adjusting to the new world we’re all living in. I’m homeschooling my 4 and 5 year old boys all while taking care of baby Brielle and keeping up with all the household needs of my family! And can we talk about the madness at the grocery store!!!??? A few days ago Errol went to three stores that were all out of eggs. I ended up trading my next door neighbor who has a hen- a bag of lemons from our tree for 8 of her hen’s eggs! The struggle is so real! That’s why I am excited to share my 30 minute pantry turkey chili and cornbread recipe with you. The best part about it is you likely already have the ingredients in your pantry and you can make the cornbread WITHOUT EGGS!
I’m also SO EXCITED to share that I’ve started a YOU-TUBE series to get us through weeks ahead called, “Quarantine Cooking Chronicles!” Of course the first recipe is the 30 minute pantry turkey chili and cornbread!
Let me know what other recipes you’d like me to upload to my YOU-TUBE Channel and please subscribe! We will get through this together. I’m learning to trust that God is in control when things in our world are spinning out of control. I am seeing His faithfulness in meeting my everyday needs in the small things like figuring out how to make cornbread without eggs, being grateful for a yard for the kids to play in as well as health and strength!
Thanks for your support and viewership! Here’s the recipe!

I could eat chili anytime of the year. This looks great and I like the idea of using turkey instead of beef. I’ve had trouble finding beef and eggs in the stores.
