I missed my Magazine Mondays post last week but couldn’t miss this week because I’ve received so many amazing contributions! I’m really happy to see this event taking off. Sharp-eyed readers will notice that the MM logo has been added to my sidebar. It still needs a little work but I’m getting there. By clicking the link, you get to a page that explains the history of MM and the requirements to take part.
For my own submission, I chose to feature one part of one of my very favourite recipes from the February 1990 issue of Gourmet: Chili Con Carne with Chili Cheddar Shortcakes.
This is THE chili recipe in my family. But more importantly, the Chili Cheddar Shortcakes are not-to-be-missed. While I don’t always make the shortcakes when I make the chili, there’s no question that the shortcakes make the chili taste that much better.
There’s not much to the recipe. You can make them in about 20 minutes and enjoy them with soup, stew and braises or just on their own with lots of salted butter. But they really are best with the chili.
And finally, here are the submission for this week’s Magazine Mondays:
Joy from the aptly named The Cooking of Joy made my mouth water with French Red Onion Soup.
Wandering Coyote of ReTorte made a comforting Butterscotch Pudding.
Nurit of 1 Family. Friendly. Food. makes a lovely Butternut Squash Galette.
My sweet Jenny of All Things Edible made a Grilled-Fennel Couscous.
Lori of Lori’s Lipsmacking Goodness makes a lipsmacking Shrimp and White Bean Cassoulet.
Remember, if you’ve posted about a magazine recipe, send me the link and I’ll publish it in my next MM post.
Have a great week, everyone!
Ciao!

Looove Gourmet Magazine recipes!!
03/9/09 at 5:17 am
Mmm. Those look really good.
03/9/09 at 5:28 am
They look so tasty! And chili is just the thing to fend off this cold rain.
03/9/09 at 5:41 am
Oh wow, those look super yummy! I’m jealous of the lighting you get in your kitchen….
03/9/09 at 8:12 am
These look very much like some that I make with soups and sometimes even for breakfast, I love the spicy!
Great photos Ivonne.

Oh, great. I was just starting to plan what to cook today and work on my grocery list. I’ll try this recipe. But - 1/4 cup chili powder? I’ll probably use less. 2 kids in my house. The shortcake sounds like a definite keeper.
03/9/09 at 10:12 am
Savory shortcake, why didn’t I think of that? Looks good.
03/9/09 at 10:15 am
these look delicious
03/9/09 at 11:00 am
This is our favourite chili recipe too. I agree with your assessment of the shortcakes: not mandatory, but highly recommended!
03/9/09 at 1:25 pm
They look so good! Great photos and recipe!
03/9/09 at 2:25 pm
o, what is double-acting baking dowder?
03/10/09 at 8:13 am
We love cornbread around here and those shortcakes I think will become a regular around here!
03/12/09 at 2:06 am
Looks yummy.
I missed posting an entry for this week - actually I missed taking the picture for this weeks entry entirely, but will get one up for you soon.

Really worth trying !
Thanks!

I recently overwon my fear of short-anything and even made scones! I am so going to take on these little babies, they look absolutely yummy!

Those cheddar shortcakes look great!
