Welcome to my online kitchen! Picky Palate is where you’ll find family friendly recipes along with the best Disney eats, tips and copycat recipes! 
Leave out the kidney beans..and I am allllll over this chili!!!
Wow, what great recipes Jenny! That chili looks fantastic and I would looove those little muffins!!
The return of Denny is bizarre isn’t it??
Looks wonderful. I can’t wait for cooler weather so I can make chili and soup and all of their fixings. Love that sort of food.
Grey’s is driving me nuts. Of course he’s dead. The story line is just too strange. That show isn’t nearly as good as it used to be. Now Desperate Housewives… that one is good this year!
These two recipes look fabulous! I love, love cornbread, and yours is a definite must try!
Your photographs are fantastic. I love how you set up your foods to photograph.
Yum! This looks great, and I have most of the ingredients on hand already…I’ll probably be making this soup later in the week!
Yum to the Southwest dinner! Just ate at Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill in NYC recently and am craving all things Southwest. The food was to die for!
Delicious photos! I can’t think of anything I’d rather eat with this tasty chili than cornbread :).
I’ve just been getting into beans, I’ll have to try this. And I loooove green chili corn bread. My mom used to make it when I was a kid. Now I need to make some, heh. 🙂
This chili and cornbread looks so yummy! Do you know how many servings it makes?
I love this chili. I’m not a big fan of beef chili’s so this is right up my alley.
As for Grey’s. There was a huge rumor last summer that they were going to kill off Izzie with a brian tumor. I guess she wants to stop tv and do more movies. Grey’s people said this was not true. With this whole Denny thing coming back and saying he’s back for her maybe it’s not such a rumor. Who knows.
Anyways, thanks for the receipe can’t wait to try it.

Looks good…Grey’s is getting too weird. Starting to tick me off!
Looks like a heart warming meal! I love corn bread with chili, it is a must!
Oh yum! I am a big fan of Southwest cuisine and this chili sounds like its darling! I have always wanted to make chicken chili! Your recipe will be making an appearance at my table soon!
Thanks for all of your comments. I’ve enjoyed the Grey’s chit chat.
Hi Marie,
Thanks for the compliment. No new camera. I wish!! Must have been a good lighting day!
Hi Sharon,
Ultra gel is this awesome food thickner that I usually use in soups. I’ve made this recipe without the ultra gel and it works just fine. Here’s a link on the product: http://www.carnetfoods.com/kitchen/UltraGel.html
Lalycairn,
I used the 16 oz can of creamed corn. I too almost stopped watching the show because of Erika, couldn’t stand her. So glad they booted her!
See ya’ll soon!
Soup looks amazing and easy – thanks for sharing! And Denyy, OMG, I about freaked when she touched him last week!!!
Holy cow, does that look good! You photographed it beautifully. This is exactly what I’m craving.
I love the mini muffins too.
What? Denny back with Lizzie??? We’re like 2 seasons behing here, so I’m a bit surprised with that! You’ll have to keep me posted. Nice chili and corn breads! So perfect for the chilli weather! 😉
Fantastic photo! Did you get a new camera? I want to make this it looks so good!!
YUM! Both look delicious, but I’ll definately have to try those cornbread muffins!
that looks so yummy! I’ll definitely be trying that one 🙂
My family is HOOKED on the Oreo/chocolate chip cookies, I’ve made them about 3-4 times in the last few weeks. Thanks for all the wonderful recipes!
Since it’s a balmy (?) 20 degrees here now with no warmer weather until maybe the weekend-this sounds like a PERFECT wamr you up quick meal! I LOVE those pictures with that yummy shredded chicken…oh my I have to try this and the corn muffins soon!
This is the recipe I’ve been looking for!!! THANK YOU!!!! My mouth is REALLY watering and I’m going to make them both this week. Sorry, don’t watch Greys. 🙂
So first the muffins. Small can creamed corn? 16 oz can? or are you talking the 8 oz size?
I used to HAVE to watch Grey’s, but I quit watching a few weeks ago. Couldn’t stand Erika – and the plot just got a little over the top for me. I really enjoyed the Denny season though, and was sad when they killed him off.
Both of these are right up my alley! I’ve been searching for the right cornbread recipe. Just wondering, what’s ultra gel?
This looks beyond good!! Thanks for the recipe…I can’t wait to try it.
This looks perfect for the cooler weather!
These sound SO YUMMY! Can’t wait to try it. I’m in Alabama, and cornbread is a staple at my house. These will be perfect. Thanks!
Seriously LOVE Grey’s!!! I love that Denny is back and Erika is GONE!!
I am so excited to see what is going on though!
That chili looks so tasty! Great flavor addition to the cornbread. I can’t wait to see how Grey’s turns out the rest of the season.
I don’t know how they could bring him back realistically without making her crazy in the head, but I am loving having McTakeMyBreathAway back on the show for a bit!!!
Those both look delicious. I’m a big fan of the chili and cornbread combo. It’s a classic!
Jenny, all of this looks fantastic. Great job!
oh my, the chili looks fabulous! and one can never have too many chili recipes.
so to jump on the grey’s anatomy band wagon…i stopped watching it a 2 seasons ago (because i couldn’t handle the meredith/mcdreamy drama) but i totally have a crush on denny (he reminds me of my husband), and while i’m not involved in the plot anymore (other than what my co-workers catch me up on) i am glad he’s back if only for the eye-candy appeal! they totally should not have killed him off to begin with. and i love katherine heigl…i hope she doesn’t go 🙁

I don’t know what is up with Denny coming back. It is kind of creepy that she kissed him at the end of the show. I thought they were having her with Alex now.
uuhhhh, all the tv shows are getting so crazy. I’m wondering if it’s their way of writing Katherine Heigl out of the show, since I’m always hearing in the news that she wants out.
Hi! I’m a huge fan of your blog and this recipe looks fantastic!
I’ve been wanting to talk about Grey’s Anatomy too! I don’t understand why they killed Denny off so early because they bring him back in the show as much as they can! Is Izzie going to end up just crazy because she is seeing ghosts now? It’s going to be very interesting where it goes with him in the story again!
