This week, we’re taking a flavorful trip to Chile—no passport required! Inspired by the vibrant spices, earthy vegetables, and hearty comfort food of Chilean cuisine, this menu is perfect for cozy dinners and family gatherings. While Chile is known for its incredible seafood, this week’s plan skips the fish and instead leans into rich, meaty mains and veggie-packed sides that celebrate the country’s diverse culinary roots. From creamy corn pies to rustic stews and zesty fresh salsas, every dish is a taste of Chilean tradition with a wholesome twist.
To pair with all the warm, comforting dishes on this week’s menu, I’ve been diving into Song of the Forever Rains by E.J. Mellow. It’s a lush, lyrical fantasy filled with magic, romance, and just the right amount of darkness—perfect for curling up with after a hearty Chilean dinner. The worldbuilding is rich and atmospheric, with a musical magic system that feels both fresh and enchanting. If you’re into slow-burn romance, sibling dynamics, and stories with a haunting fairytale feel, this book is a great match for a week of soul-nourishing meals.
