Easy Peasy White Chicken Chili Recipe

5.27.2015

Easy White Chicken Chili // Easy RecipeI am by no means a good cook. I know I can cook, but I prefer the easiest of recipes, the most basics of food, and I tend to stick to chicken. I’m from the Midwest, can you blame me? At least I don’t make tater-tot casserole on a regular basis. Or ever. Mainly because I have no idea how to do it, not because it looks like the most disgusting dish you’ve ever seen (to be fair, looks can be deceiving, because it actually is pretty damn good).

Growing up, I ate everything and anything that my mom put on a plate in front of me. That is, as long as she also put a plate in front of my imaginary friend Jessica as well. And believe me, Jessica was ALWAYS hungry, so there better be a full plate of food at her seat. There was one food that Jessica and I both hated (pardon my french): Shit on a Shingle. If you’ve ever been unfortunate enough to have heard of this disgusting dish, then you feel my pain. Don’t believe me? Just Google it. The one time my mom tried to make us eat Shit on a Shingle (I mean, couldn’t they have called it something a little more appealing?), I refused to eat it. I sat at the dinner table until midnight (probably 8pm), and had to go to bed without dinner. Don’t feel sad for me, Jessica had to go to bed without dinner too.

Easy White Chicken Chili RecipeSo why did I tell you that little child-abuse story? Because I learned a life lesson. If I ever procreate, my children will eat everything I make. I will name my dishes things like, “Amazing Bubbles from Heaven” (brussel sprouts) or “Rainbows and Unicorns” (meatloaf). How could they refuse?

I will also feed them my famous White-Chicken Chili. Only I won’t need to call it anything other than what it is, because it’s already fabulous. Not only is it ridiculously amazing, it’s also really easy. Which is why they will love it as much as I do.

White Chicken Chili RecipeSo what do you think? Are my imaginary children going to be great or what?

    YUM! I am with you, I love the easiest recipes and believe that they often taste the best (and are the healthiest!) Buying a crockpot was like the best thing that has ever happened to me. Can’t wait to try this recipe!

One day, instead of hearing little feet running th One day, instead of hearing little feet running through the house all day, I’ll be leaving voicemails hoping they call me back when they have time.

The sticky fingerprints will wash away, the car seats will come out, bedtime routines will end, and the house that once felt so loud will get quieter little by little.

It’s strange how the things that exhaust you in the moment become the very things you ache for later. 🤍
When did it become expected to spend hundreds of d When did it become expected to spend hundreds of dollars on Teacher Appreciation gifts? Don’t get me wrong, if it were in the budget you better believe it’s worth it. I am not advocating for giving them LESS, I’m just advocating for staying within your families budget. And maybe if we see more of these easy little inexpensive gifts, we can make it more acceptable to gift within budget. Because that’s what it’s all about. 

What’s that saying? It’s the thought that counts.
I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that Mother’s Day is only for moms with small children. I couldn’t disagree more. To me, Mother’s Day is not just about me. It’s about the women who helped shape me, as a mother, a woman, a friend. It’s about my friends who help me be a better mother, even if they don’t have little kids themselves. It’s about my own mother, who is the biggest inspiration for me, to be a better mother myself. It’s about the many generations before me that allowed me to be a mother at all. It’s about every woman in my life that loves me and my girls as if they’re their own. That’s who I’ll be celebrating this Mother’s Day.

What are your kids always finding for you?
There’s something rare about being fully known and There’s something rare about being fully known and still fully loved. No shrinking yourself. No editing your personality.
Just being met where you are. That kind of friendship changes you.
It’s just a little walk… It’s just a little walk…
Unpopular opinion: kids don’t need more stuff. The Unpopular opinion: kids don’t need more stuff. They need more boredom. More freedom. More outside time. More chances to build a world out of sticks and dirt instead of asking for the next new thing.

I’m not interested in raising a child who expects constant entertainment or new toys. I want to raise one who knows how to create their own magic.

Something I tell my little girls all the time, yet Something I tell my little girls all the time, yet wish most grown women understood too. I see so many adults actively TRYING to fit in…work, church, neighborhood, sports, etc. 

You shouldn’t have to try. If you’re trying to be someone you’re not, it’s not right. For you, or for them. Your tribe will come along, I promise you. Even if that tribe is one person, it’ll be better than a hundred women who just don’t get you.
Listen. I’m all about having a good time. I love t Listen. I’m all about having a good time. I love to travel, I love to go out for dinner, I love having new clothes. But somewhere along the way, we’ve lost the ability to just say “No, I don’t want to spend the money on that.” 

Our budgets don’t always allow for the same experiences that our friend or neighbors may have, and that is perfectly okay. We need to stop overspending and start saving. We need to be financially secure before buying more junk that isn’t fulfilling, or going out for another dinner. 

Do you feel comfortable telling someone you don’t have the budget for something?
