Oct 14, 2016

The best part of Sunday Football is definitely the grub: chips, dip, a hot, simmering pot of chili and freshly baked corn bread. For a healthier take on our favorite game-day snack, we swapped the beef with lean ground turkey and loaded it with lots of kidney beans, corn and spices. We’re serving up our smokey, cumin-scented chili “pot pie” style in individual ramekins topped with nutty cornbread crusts. Dig in and may the best team win!

Ingredients:

Makes 15 Pot Pies

For the Chili:

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 pound ground turkey thighs (dark meat)
  • 1 Tablespoon chipotle chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons tomato paste
  • (1) 15-ounce can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • (2) 15-ounce cans of red kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
  • (1) 15-ounce can of sweet corn, drained
  • 1 cup chicken broth

For the cornbread crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal (medium grind)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/3 cup whole milk (or buttermilk)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs

Optional toppings:

  • sour cream
  • sliced scallions

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil over a medium flame in a large dutch oven. Add the diced onion and sauté until golden, about five minutes. Add the finely chopped garlic, diced bell peppers and finely chopped jalapeño (if using). Sauté for another 5-7 minutes or until soft.

2. Increase the flame to high and add the ground turkey to the pot. Break apart the meat using a wooden spoon (or spatula). Sauté until the turkey is cooked through and no longer pink (about five minutes). Sprinkle the salt, pepper, chipotle chili powder, oregano and cumin, and toss to coat.

3. Add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, corn kernels and chicken broth. Mix well and bring to a boil. Once the contents boil, reduce the flame to a simmer, cover the pot and cook for 40 minutes.

4. While the chili is simmering, prep the corn bread batter. In a large bowl whisk the flour, cornmeal, salt and baking soda. Make a well in the center and add the milk, olive oil, maple syrup and eggs. Whisk until the batter is completely smooth.

5. Once the chili has been cooking for at least 40 minutes and most of the liquid has evaporated, allow the mixture to cool slightly before dividing into ramekins. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Using a 1/2 cup measure, scoop the chili mixture into 15 seven-ounce ramekins (be sure to leave at least one inch on top for the corn bread batter).

6. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and use a 1/4 cup measure to scoop the batter over the chili-filled ramekins. Bake in your preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the corn bread is golden and cooked through. Allow the ramekins to cool for at least 15 minutes before garnishing with sour cream and sliced scallions. Dig in!

Fall's Buzziest New Thriller Is Already Available To Stream

While I've been keeping up with all the buzz surrounding Demi Moore's The Substance, and definitely understood it was THE feminist movie of the fall, I remember opening X in mid-October, seeing an unhinged photo of Margaret Qualley as Monstro Elisasue, and thinking to myself, Wow, apparently I do not know what this movie is about.

If you're in the mood for a new, edgy horror movie that you can watch anytime of year, then do I have good news for you: The Substance is streaming now! Here's everything you need to know about the flick, including how to watch it this weekend because it will definitely make a great Halloween movie.

  • The Substance is streaming now, but it's also still available to see in theaters following its September 20 release date.
  • The movie follows an actress supposedly past her prime who takes matters into her own hands with a powerful serum called The Substance.
  • The cast includes Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid.

Where can I watch The Substance 2024?

The Substance Release Date

The Substance is streaming on Mubi and is available on Fandango at Home. You can also see the movie in theaters now. The Substance premiered on September 20.

What is The Substance movie about?

Mubi

The Substance Plot

In Coralie Fargeat's new movie, Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) is a used-to-be A-lister who's horrified when studio head Harvey (Dennis Quaid) fires her from her own fitness TV show. (The audacity!) When she learns about The Substance, a new drug that promises youth and beauty, she immediately buys in.

A single injection and suddenly she's Sue, a twenty-something (played by Margaret Qualley) who's exactly what Hollywood is looking for. There's just one rule: you can only spend a week in each body at a time or things go very, very wrong.

Who's in the cast?

Mubi

The Substance Cast

The cast of The Substance includes all-star names like Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid.

What is the meaning behind The Substance?

Mubi

The Substance confronts all the different pressures placed on women: to look young, to act mature, to constantly reinvent yourself. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, writer-director Coralie Fargeat explains how Margaret's Monstro Elisasue "represents the monstrous part that we try to hide so much because we feel that we can't adapt or fit."

The end of the movie, in which (spoiler!!) Elisabeth basically melts into a pile of flesh on top of her Hollywood Walk of Fame star, frees her from any and all expectations. "It’s the first moment where she’s able to love herself. It’s the moment she sees herself and it’s not disgust, but in fact it’s as if she’s seeing her true self for the first time," Coralie says. "There’s self-indulgence, tenderness. It’s the first time she looks at herself in the mirror and doesn’t criticize herself. She decides, okay, I’m going to go out there, this is me, I have my right to have my place in the world."

Dunkin’s Official Holiday Menu Has Something Starbucks Doesn’t

The holidays are slowly approaching, and thank goodness, because it means all of the yummy fast food holiday menus are on their way. If you can’t get enough of a seasonal drink (perhaps a little peppermint action), listen up: Dunkin’s holiday menu for 2024 was just officially announced!

After rumors about the Dunkin’holiday menu for 2024 had been swirling around online, the Dunkin' Instagram account just confirmed a lot of the drink and snack predictions for the lineup, and they look extra good.

Plus, one of Dunkin's menu items is filling the void in my heart from a missing drink on the Starbucks rumored holiday menu. Hint: it involves toasted white mocha!

The Dunkin’ holiday menu for 2024 is speculated to drop on November 1, six days before Starbucks’ rumored holiday menu will hit. Scroll on to see everything joining the Dunkin’ menu!

When will the Dunkin' holiday menu for 2024 drop?

Meredith Holser

According to some menu leaks and rumors surrounding the Dunkin' holiday menu, a new lineup of drinks and snacks will become available starting November 1, 2024.

The famed foodie account, @markie_devo, broke the news about the Dunkin' holiday menu leak first.

Does Dunkin' have holiday cups?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Dunkin’ (@dunkin)

Yes, Dunkin' has holiday cups! They'll be available on November 1, once the holiday menu drops. The coffee chain posted a sneak peek of the holiday cup design on their Instagramon October 31. It appears the Dunkin' holiday cups have designs of donuts, peppermint candies, ornaments, and more. The color scheme is mostly white, orange, and pink!

Drinks On The Dunkin' Holiday Menu 2024

Dunkin'

NEW! Holiday Cookie Signature Latte

This festive new latte is made with brown sugar cookie and toasted almond syrups and topped off with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and a scoop of cookie butter crumbles. Sounds like a totally sippable dessert to me!

Dunkin'

NEW! Brown Sugar Cookie Oat Iced Chai Latte

Allegedly only available to order through the Dunkin' app, the Brown Sugar Cookie Oat Iced Chai Latte sounds like it'll combine brown sugar cookie syrup with oat milk and chai to usher in the holiday season. Based on previous menu offerings, you should be able to get this drink iced or hot.

Dunkin'

Peppermint Mocha Latte

The Peppermint Mocha Latte is a classic when it comes to the Dunkin' holiday menu, so I'm not surprised it's returning this year. This bev features peppermint and mocha syrups, espresso, and milk, topped with a hefty serving of whipped cream, mocha drizzle, and hot chocolate powder. Bring it on!

Dunkin'

Toasted White Chocolate Latte

No shade to Starbucks, but their rumored holiday menu for 2024 kind of broke my heart when I saw the Toasted White Mocha from years past wasn't coming back. Luckily, Dunkin' is filling the void with their Toasted White Chocolate Latte: a sweet, white chocolate-filled sip topped with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and cinnamon sugar topping!

Dunkin'

White Hazelnut Bark Coffee

Available hot or iced, this coffee is prepped with a Dunkin' toasted white chocolate swirl, hazelnut flavoring, and cream. Any seasonal drink that has nutty notes wins in my book!

Dunkin'

Spiced Cookie Coffee

Another reported "in-app only" drink joining the Dunkin' holiday menu, the Spiced Cookie Coffee will likely also be available to order hot or iced. I expect this bev to taste just like a snickerdoodle cookie!

Dunkin'

Cookie Butter Cold Brew

I am so excited about this cold brew drink coming back for the holidays at Dunkin'. The Cookie Butter Cold Brew is made with brown sugar cookie syrup and topped with cookie butter cold foam and a scoop of cookie butter crumbles for extra crunch. Stay tuned, because there's a sweet snack joining the menu to match!

Dunkin'

Toasted White Chocolate Coconut Cold Brew

This rumored app-exclusive cold brew will include notes of white chocolate and coconut – I need it now.

Dunkin'

Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate

This anticipated app-only sip nixes the expected espresso for a very chocolatey (and peppermint-y!) effect.

Snacks + Food On The Dunkin' Holiday Menu 2024

Dunkin'

NEW! Hash Brown Brisket Scramble

Dunkin' has tested a number of breakfast Scrambles over the years, which is why I'm not totally shook by this food item coming to the holiday menu for 2024. This iteration will feature hash browns, scrambled eggs, shredded brisket, smoked cheddar cheese, poblano peppers, caramelized onions, and of course, a rich Texas queso.

Dunkin'

NEW! Almond Croissant

The holiday menu will also bring the Almond Croissant to Dunkin's breakfast lineup. It's a butter croissant filled with chopped almonds!

Dunkin'

Cookie Butter Donut

Yep – I need this in my belly ASAP. The Cookie Butter Donut is packed with a cookie butter filling, slathered with maple-flavored icing, then dipped in a delish speculoos cookie topping (tastes just like Biscoff cookies)! Sweet treat, anyone?

He added, “You get to meet new, exciting characters and take all of our combustible characters, and you get to see karate outside of the Valley. How are they going to handle the pressure?

Is it getting hot in here, or is it just us? The Sex Lives of College Girls is back with a third season, and based on the trailer, it appears that this installment is gearing up to be quite…steamy! Though Kimberly (Pauline Chalamet), Bela (Amrit Kaur), Leighton (Reneé Rapp) and Whitney (Alyah Chanelle Scott) are returning for another semester at Essex College, the college roommates will soon have to figure out a new living situation. Yes, that’s right: Back in July 2023, Rapp announced that she will leave the show after season three.

At the time, Rapp shared on social media: “College Girls moved me out to LA and introduced me to some of my favorite people. 2 and a half years later—it’s given me y’all and this community. Thank you Mindy, Justin and everyone at Max for believing in me. A lot of queer works gets belittled — but playing Leighton has changed my life. I love who I am 10x more than I did before knowing her. I hope she gave y'all a little bit of that too. She's such a tiny part of the representation but even the tiny parts count. I wouldn’t be half the person I am without her and y’all. I’m so excited for this season and I can’t wait for you to see what we have coming for her and the girls.”

We’re going to miss you, Leighton :(

The Sex Lives of College Girls season 3 stars Pauline Chalamet, Amrit Kaur, Reneé Rapp, Alyah Chanelle Scott, Devin Craig, Ruby Cruz, Michael Provost, Roby Attal, and Mitchell Slaggert.
