Easy Crockpot Chicken Chili
Easy Crockpot Chicken Chili. I grew up on Texas chili, which is all beef and no beans. So when I first heard of chicken “chili” with white beans, my first thought was this does not qualify as chili. Is some New Yorker or California foodie trying to pass this off as chili to us Texans?…

Antipasto Pasta Salad for Summer
It was a scorcher outside. While I sat in traffic for an hour on my way home from work, the car dashboard said it was 104 degrees. No relief in sight until about October. Too bad I can’t afford to move to Alaska during the summer. Oh, but I digress. At least I knew…
