Pumpkin Chili (See Jane Simmer)

Although Christmas decorations may be up in stores already, it’s still harvest time which means pumpkin until Thanksgiving!  I found this recipe through one of my favorite websites, allrecipes.com, and once I saw the words ‘pumpkin’ and ‘chili’ side by side, knew I had to try it.  I improvised a bit and added a few things, including corn, black beans, cumin, cayenne pepper, paprika, jalapenos, and extra garlic.  That’s what I love about cooking–there is definitely room to experiment, where as in baking, you necessarily have that wiggle room as it’s more of a science.  As hoped, the chili turned out delicious and it went perfectly with a super-quick scone I made (pictured above), which I’ll post about soon.
