I suppose we are due for a Super Bowl friendly recipe, no?  Sunday is the big day-I have no idea who is playing in this game.  I also have no idea where this game is being played. One thing I do know, tho, is that I look forward to the commercials.  And I also know of the perfect recipe to pair with this hyped up event.  

White Chicken Chili…that is so damn tasty.  Put all of the ingredients in the slow cooker and your work is basically done.

All that you will have left to do is gobble this up in between plays..or commercials if you’re anything like me…whatever tickles your fancy.
