Chicken Chili is a great figure friendly fall dinner

I love all things Chili especially in the fall!  I wanted to make a chili that didn't contain red meat so I took my traditional recipe and added shredded chicken instead.  It came out great!  It was so tasty and less greasy than regular chili with ground beef.  Next time I want to try to add more veggies such as carrots and zucchini.  



Ingredients

1 Whole cooked  roasted chicken shredded or 3-4 cooked chicken breast shredded
2 cup frozen corn
1 medium yellow onion
1 green pepper
4 stalks of celery
1 package chili seasoning
2 15 oz cans chili beans
2 15 oz cans chopped tomato's with chills


Dump all ingredients in to crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours

Book Love!

Heaven is for Real!

I just got done reading the most unique and amazing book.  My sister gave me this book to read after a friend recommended it to her.  It was not the type of book I would normally read. But it makes you appreciate life more, the title really just says it all.  I enjoyed it so much I purchased it for my mother in law.  Click HERE to get your copy now!

Stuffed Green Peppers

Fall is here an nothing screams comfort food more than stuffed green peppers!  I make extra taco meat so I can use the leftovers the next day to turn it into another delicious simple meal.  

3-4 green peppers cut in half
1 cups cooked white rice
1 lbs taco meat (See my recipe here)
1 can black beans or pinto beans
Half a large yellow onion
2 cans tomato sauce
2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese

In a large bowl mix together cooked taco meat, rice, can of beans, one can of tomato sauce and 1 cup shredded cheese.

spoon stuffing in to clean peppers and top with extra tomato sauce and shredded cheese.

Bake at 350F for 30-40 min in a baking dish with about 1-1.5 cups of water at the bottom of your dish to help steam green peppers.

Tutu's are the new children's fashion rage!!

For some reason tutu's are not just for ballet dancers but for little girls to wear as an outfit. I have been seeing a lot of toddlers wearing leggings and tutu's so I thought I would give it a try. I  made a No sew Tutu for my beautiful niece however, she would not allow a photograph of her be posted so here is an example of a light pink newborn tutu I recently made.  Please check out the YouTube on how to make your own No Sew TuTu!





Sorry this baby didn't want to show her face today
