    Superfood Chicken Chili (crockpot)

    This soup came to fruition after looking through my fridge/pantry, deciding I needed to go grocery shopping, but with a barfy kid, feeling quarantined to the house, I decided I needed to use up what was left of my previous week’s meal prep/grocery trip first. Enter: Superfood Chicken Chili  And let me tell you… this turned out so much better than I imagined!   This could easily be done in an Instant Pot too- but I haven’t purchased mine yet! I hope you enjoy.  Do me a solid… comment below what you thought of it!  I’d love your feedback! Ingredients: 2-3 medium/large chicken breasts 3/4 c lentils, raw, washed 2…

    Perfect Autumn Secret Ingredient Chili

    As soon as those leaves start falling, I’m busting out the crockpot and whipping up chili.  But the same chili recipe sometimes gets old and even this chili lovin’ momma needs to switch it up.  My kiddos are decent with eating veggies but I try to pack them in wherever I can.  I added two cups finely minced spinach to this crockpot as well as 1/2 cup of pumpkin too.  Everyone loved it.  I was pleasantly surprised with the reaction- not that I thought they wouldn’t like it, but with the sneaky nutrients I packed in there, there were no complaints!  Here’s the recipe!  Ingredients:  1 lb lean ground turkey…

    Turkey Pumpkin Chili

    Sweet & Savory Turkey Pumpkin Chili I don’t know if I’m the only one who cooks like this, but I’ll start thinking up a recipe a week or so before I make it.  I literally let it simmer in my brain.  I think of things I want to add to it, how I want it to taste, what the texture and consistency should be.  Then I get hangry.  I start with the mouthwatering, drooling stuff. And I know I have to make it.  Today I intended to make a chicken butternut squash soup in the crockpot but life got in the way and was saving this chili for the weekend…

    Deer Season Chili

    We live about 2 hours from my in-laws.  When the weather gets cold we can count on heading that way at least one weekend each month.  Hunting season starts.   The men trudge out at 4:30 am and we sleep snugly under fuzzy blankets until the sun comes peeking in the windows.  We emerge in slippers to a pot of coffee and a batch of pancakes off the griddle and spend the day doing crafts, playing with Playdough, and preparing a yummy dinner for when they return.   One of my favorites is my mother-in-laws chili.  There’s something about a big pot of chili on a Sunday afternoon to fill up…
