thank you, thank you for your recipe ideas! i am so inspired. tonight we are having white chili for dinner–recipe courtesy of Heather. Here’s the scoop…
WHITE CHICKEN CHILI
No kidding, this recipe is dump and heat, so it takes no more than 5 minutes! and it’s oh.so.good 🙂
In a large pot, empty:
a 48 oz. jar of Great Northern Beans-undrained (I use Randall brand),
1 jar of salsa (your favorite brand),
4 cups of sharp cheddar cheese;shredded,
chicken (I use 2 cans of chicken breast, drained, and break up the chunks with my fingers) or you can use some pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded.
Heat all ingredients over medium-high heat until cheese is melted completely. I never thin this out because it’s a great consistency as is, but you can always add a bit of water or broth if you’d like it thinner.
I serve with green onions and sour cream as condiments and also love to scoop this up with fritos!
I’ll let you know what the family thinks!
And winners for the kisses and hugs necklace!! I loved reading your comments. I seriously wish I could give each of you a necklace. I think we all agree, Traci in Virginia deserves a kiss and hug. So Traci, send me your address and we’ll get your necklace out. The other two winners were randomly chosen at random.org

I’ve been reading your blog since my sweetie bought me one of your necklaces with my little’s name on it (which I love by the way). I meant to post this earlier, but my friend just started a recipe blog http://www.nottoomanycooksinthekitchen.blogspot.com, that all of our friends will hopefully be posting easy recipes to. There are only a few there now, but next time you need an idea you can look there, if you didn’t get enough ideas from your post when you requested them ha!
Happy cooking!
Love your blog…..you are a blessing to many. Thanks for giving one to Traci! Have a blessed week!
I hope your family enjoys the chili, Lisa! It’s what we’re having tonight as well 🙂
You are too kind, three necklaces when you only planned two.
I am so glad Traci is getting one.
I told my husband, “soup all week it is cold”.
Thanks for all the great recipes that made the post.
Just needed to tell that I love your work. beautiful piece of art! How to choice, love them all.

Yay for the winners, esp. Traci.
Here’s a super easy meal idea (which we are having tonight): put some boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a crock pot, add a jar of spaghetti sauce. (you could also add sliced mushrooms or other veggies if desired) Cook till chicken is done, shred the chicken a bit, serve over your fav pasta.
Congrats to Traci – hopefully the kiss and hug will help to bring her some peace.
Congrats to the Winners! Glad Traci got one. Hope she wears it proudly!
That White Chili sounds great I think I might have to try it…..
Congrats to the winners of the lovely xo necklace.
Enjoy your chili dinner…it’s my favorite thing to make in my crockpot. Yum!
