Sure has been a while since I posted here.

In late 2017 we sold our home and moved in with my mother in law for the winter, then buying a new home next spring. My dearest recipes (contained in the infamous "recipe baggie") were likely all packed up for the long term.

Cooler weather is upon us now, and that means it's time to break out the crock pot, as all Michiganders know. Lately I've been having a real jones for my white chili — a great way to kick off crock season.

Additionally, I was told earlier this week by my brother in law to not even bother showing up for Thanksgiving this year without my pumpkin pies. *sigh* You can guess where that recipe is.

Just for funsies earlier I did a search on my website for recipes I have posted over the years. I was looking specifically for my white chili recipe. As luck would have it, I had posted it — TEN YEARS AGO!

I got so excited, I took a screenshot of the post and drove to the grocery store!

The product, early in its process, is pictured above. I had to play a little with the recipe because the store here doesn't have the large jars of Great Northern beans. I figured each jar held about as much as does three standard-sized cans. I bought eight cans just to be safe, and think I have five cans in the mix now. I also bought extra chicken to brown up and dice in real fast — but I suspect the bag I bought is enough.
