Let’s rewind to the beginning. Adam and Leighton first crossed paths in 2011 on the set of The Oranges. The real-life love story kicked off in 2013 when they made their couple debut. They eventually said “I do” in 2014.

Fast forward to now, and they’re now proud parents to seven-year-old Arlo Day and a little boy born in 2020. In an April episode of the Stitcher Studios podcast Podcrushed, Adam Brody shared a bit about when he first met Leighton Meester. According to him, it was a love at first sight when he saw her at Canters Deli in Los Angeles. Brody admits he couldn’t quite figure her out at first, but then fate did its thing, and they got together.

Even though Leighton is killing it in her Christmas movie EXmas, she knows how to keep things in check. She spilled the beans on how she juggles her crazy schedule with Adam, highlighting the need to snag small moments for herself. Whether it’s writing, working out, or just chilling with her man, she’s all about finding that sweet balance, even when life throws curveballs.

Wherever life takes the world, one thing is for sure— our favorite teen drama couple is still going strong and plans to do so for a long time to come.

It’s hard to get chili wrong. It’s a flexible dish and there are many different types, from traditional red to homestyle and veggie. With some many options, it can be hard to decide what toppings will go best with your particular chili recipe. That’s why we’re here to help you choose the best toppings.

Traditional red chili is also called Texas red or chili con carne, and they’re all considered the original chili. It includes red chili peppers, meat, and spices with nothing extra like pasta or beans. The toppings that are traditionally used include cilantro, Cheddar cheese, jalapeños, cornbread, chopped onions, and tortilla chips.

Chili Verde is a Mexican-American stew that uses green chili peppers. The pork and spices for this dish are once again the only ingredients, and no beans or pasta are used as fillers. Some people enhance the flavor with charro beans and rice. Good toppings here are lime wedges and sour cream. However, jalapeño, radish, and green onion slices, among other ingredients, are also acceptable.

White chili is what is known as the creamy, nontraditional version of chili. It is made with chicken or turkey, white beans, green chili peppers, and a dairy-based broth. The toppings that are great for this chili should add to its creaminess, so avocado, lime wedges, jalapeño slices, cherry tomatoes, hot sauce, and cheese are the most preferred.

Homestyle chili is the kind that most people make, well, at home. The common ingredients are meat, vegetables, chili peppers, beans, and other ingredients that vary depending on who’s making the dish. Homestyle chilis often include tomatoes, rice, or pasta, but what makes it perfect are the toppings. The best ones should give it more richness with acidity and starchiness. These include onions, apple cider vinegar, avocado, pickled onions, sour cream, cheese, oyster crackers, tater tots, and more.

Veggie chilis are great for people who want a meatless option, and the toppings options are rather interesting. They include roasted corn, sweet potato cubes, radish slices, garlic, avocado, hot honey drizzle, cilantro, and pumpkin seeds. People also like to use toasted quinoa, Cotija cheese, plantain chips, and Greek yogurt to give salty and savory notes.

Enthusiasts who want to use traditional recipes as well as those who prefer to put their own spin on the dish can easily take their chili to the next level with the right toppings. All chilis are born to get creative with their ingredients.
