your goose is probably only half-baked at this point

I HAVEN'T MADE THIS RECIPE YET.  JUST UPLOADING IT HERE SO I'LL HAVE MY RECIPE AT HAND WHEN I'M READY TO TRY IT OUT.  WILL UPDATE ONCE IT'S BEEN TESTED. Smashburger should get quite a lot of credit for this recipe, because holy crap  is their New Englander black bean burger amazing, but they're also to blame for it because they're too far from my house for me to walk there and get the New Englander whenever the spirit moves me, so here we are. Adapted from  this delightful recipe  and saved here so it doesn't walk away from me. The name comes from how hard this recipe punches, and how awesome it is to have the sweet glow of the cranberries against the dark power of the burger.  Just don't choke on it.  That's bad for you.

Squishy, warm, tasty, and easy -- this is comfort food at its finest.  (It's also good for you, but don't tell it I told you so, it doesn't need to know that.) Inspired by this lovely recipe and made on a day I got some stupidly superfluous bad news and needed some comfort.  Hoping it sends some love your way when you need it most.

Fun facts about Chewbacca: 1) He's 200 years old when we first meet him in A New Hope ; 2) He'll live to be 400 years old, so he knew he was going to out-live Han Solo when he adopted the guy; 3) I'm pretty sure he'd adopt Leia and keep her as his cub if he had half a chance; 4) He's awesome and his actor, Peter Mayhew, is one of the most understated and loveable celebrities on the planet. This dish has literally nothing to do with him, otherwise, save that ... um. Yeah, nope, nothing to do with him. Doesn't matter. It's a great recipe, and you're a laser-brain if you don't give it a go. #nailedit Laugh It Up Fuzzball Sweet Potato Chili   Ingredients 1 tbsp olive oil 2 medium yellow onions, diced 2 tbsp chili powder 2 tsp cumin 1 tsp black pepper (I never measure, honestly) 4-10 shakes cayenne pepper (I don't measure this, either) 2 cups frozen diced green peppers (use fresh if you have that much free time on your hands) 4 1/2 ...
