    I know right. I am late to the pumpkin recipes. I still have a ton of canned pumpkin. For some reason I make chili only when it gets really really cold. It got really cold here only mid December and we were eating out a lot then :). 
    This gorgeous bowl of mish mash has Black eyed peas, Pumpkin, some chard, warm spices and deliciousness! and is difficult to photograph beautifully:)

    For the life of me I cannot think of what to blab about on this post. On the house hunt front, nothing that fits our requirements seems to be coming up in the areas we want, in the next few months. So we might explore the option of making our own house from scratch. Anyone with ideas on the whole process, do drop me some suggestions:). I have been stalking the websites of some awesome modern and green architects in Seattle like Chris Pardo(Elemental), Brad Khouri(b9 architects) lately. If you know of other names architects/modern builders in the PNW, throw them in!

    More Soups, one pot meals here. and Indian Bean curries here.

    BTW, this chili is a great option to eat by the fireplace watching the playoffs today:). Go Hawks! I’ll fix up some Baked spicy Fries later.

      I’m missing the part in the recipe where you add the serrano peppers….

      I love your website btw. The recipes sound interesting, creative and not too complicated.

      I adore pumpkin in chili, but I think I adore the bread you made with the pumpkin leftovers even more. It’s a good thing I wasn’t viewing other blogs during my challenge. I would have never been able to withstand that pumpkin bread, my resolve isn’t that strong!!

      Just made this. . It tastes wonderful, but it pretty runny – could the water measurements be off possibly? Thanks!

        Thanks Adrienne. Glad that you liked it! I had covered the pan partially and cooked it on open flame in the end for a few minutes. Most of the water evaporated. I wrote fully covered in the intructions so maybe thats why it stayed runny. Sorry about that. I changed the instructions to partially covered.

      What a unique take on chili! I can imagine the black eyed peas and pumpkin being wonderful together. You may be late to the pumpkin party, but I totally am too. In fact, I don’t think I’ve had anything pumpkin since the holidays of 2011!! How that happened is beyond me. It just passed me by this year. Good luck on the house front!

      Richa, such a coincidence, I came across GoodSpeed Architecture while looking for some green art for my home. Not sure if they meet your requirements, but their website looks promising 🙂
      As always, thanks for sharing the recipe, it is mouth watering.

      Eine einfaches aber köstliches Chili, ich verwende frische Kürbis und gebe noch ein wenig Zimt dazu.
      Für Kürbis ist es nie zu spät, für mich könnte es das ganze Jahr über Kürbis Saison sein!!!

      oh you… pumpkin is always welcome in chili recipe! i think you photographed it beautifully, too 😉 it really is taking you a long time to find your house, but that’s good- never settle until you are truly happy. it’s such a great idea to build a house from scratch- that way, you are definitely getting what you want. i wish we could have done that, but didn’t have the funds to do so.

        Thank you Caitlin. I hear ya abt pumpkin in chili!
        the areas we r looking at are a- in demand, so the houses move quickly, and b- most houses are at the edge or out of our budget 🙂 building a house sometimes comes out cheaper if you can get a good land deal and a good architect!:) but it is still a long headache, so we r still thinking. lets see:)
