Welcome to the first episode of my newest vlog series Food & Fiction—for the love of food and the thrill of storytelling.

This week, there’s also a dash of romance as I share one of my favorite scenes between Colt and Lark. Join me as I make cowboy chili and jalapeño cornbread, hearty comfort food for a chilly night. Because it’s not just what’s on the plate but the mysteries that keep us coming back for more.

Check out the full recipe below as well as one of my favorite scenes between Colt and Lark read exclusively by me on my socials– Instagram & Tiktok!
