It’s been a while since I felt nervous about meeting people. I mean, now (but definitely not back when I was a kid), I consider myself to be pretty out-going. Well, that is far from what I felt like on Thursday night.
I attended my first

You are awesome and it was great to eventually meet you in person. I know exactly how you felt, I think high school was easier than meeting new adult friends 🙂 Thanks for linking up my chili recipe too! Have a great week and hopefully see you again soon.
haha, totally!! Thank you, Gerry!
You’re the beeeeeest! You should never feel awkward and uncomfortable because I guarantee, put you in any room with a group of people and you’re going to charm the pants off of all of them. You are so outgoing, fun, funny, witty and kick ass. You are exactly what I knew you would be because the way you write on this blog is 100% authentically you. Love it. And I love chili, especially a veggie version like this so I won’t feel guilty for chowing down on a few bowlfuls. Thanks for linking my ice cream, girl! And I can’t wait to read your recap posts.
Of course!! That ice cream was amazing! I went to a few other blogs and looked for chili but couldn’t find any recipes . . thanks, Nance! You are a sweetheart. . 🙂
It was so great to meet you this weekend! I am too tired to cook right now and I wish I could beam this to our dinner table tonight.
Hi Jen!
It was sooo great meeting you too. . and I actually went to your blog first to look for a chili recipe to link up but I couldn’t find one. Do you have one on there that I missed?
Your experience on that first night was exactly the same way I felt! I was late arriving too (I didn’t get there until MINUTES before Dorie took the stage, and even though I consider myself to be pretty friendly and outgoing, I felt totally overwhelmed and unprepared! But the next day, after running into you, that all changed. You were so sweet and I’m so grateful for you introducing me around, and generally putting me at ease.
This chili recipe looks phenomenal! Your photos are always so gorgeous, and I love the way you’ve styled this with the bright blue cloth contrasting with all that homey, earthy goodness. Nothing beats curling up with a bowl of chili on a cool Fall night! <3
Awh, Allie. . you are so sweet. . I, too, am SO happy that we finally met and that we got to hang out together!! Hopefully this will be the first of many conferences we can attend. . and thank you so much for the comments. . I actually don’t like these photos but didn’t have time to re-shoot. oh well!
Mmmm I love chili..I make a Mexican chili similar to this almost weekly! The conference sounds like it was amazing. I would have been nervous too, but I definitely chill out pretty quickly. I’m much more outgoing than I was in high school. I love the carrots and pepper flakes in this!
Thank you, Brandi!! If only I could get my hubby to eat veggie chili. . hmmmm. . working on it. .
I’m surprised your husband’s favorite has no meat and it has kale! I would love a bowl of this when we meet in Chicago!! I know what you mean about stepping out, it’s necessary.
Hey Paula!
no, the other one (the one linked and made with ground beef ) is my hubby’s fave. . the way I wrote it was confusing but no way- he is a huge meat lover!!!
