Jennifer Garner Made Chili in Winter’s Favorite Sweater

It’s the coldest time of the year, so that means many of us are cooking up warm, comforting foods at home (there’s nothing like a bowl of soup in the winter). And for Jennifer Garner, one of her go-to recipes for this time of year is a heaping pot of hot vegetarian chili.

In a new Instagram video, The Adam Project actress revealed one of her “old favorite” recipes followed by a step-by-step tutorial as part of her “pretend cooking show.” And instead of chopping onions and mincing jalapeños in a chef’s apron, Garner went for a more comfortable style that is a staple in any winter closet.

Garner’s cozy gray sweater featured woven knit and flower embellishments that elevated it from your basic top. With their neutral hue, warm material, and ability to pair with practically everything in your closet, gray sweaters are easily a wardrobe staple, and you truly cannot have too many of them.
