CChile and cornbread, Chicken Brunswick Stew, Chicken and Corn Chowder

Hello. I hope your having a good day. What a difference a couple of days can make. We are finally out of the 90's. We are to have a few 80's but I think we are now in the comfort zone again. That's what happens with the change of seasons. With the change of seasons come a change of diet as well. I fixed chili and cornbread last night. I opened a can of chili and dumped it into a baking dish. then topped it with a made up box of corn bread, using buttermilk instead of the regular milk it called for. I should have added a bit of butter, but forgot.

Jerry went back for seconds. At first he wasn't so sure he would like it as the cornbread closest to the chili looked a bit raw, but it was all cooked. I'm still going through a Church Cookbook and posting to different recipe groups I'm in. I dont' have any reason to make this large a pot of stew or soup any more but they both sure do sound good.
