Welcome

Welcome to my blog. My blogging journey began about in August 2009 as a photo-a-day blog which has since transitioned to combine my love of good food and photography. Today, using as many local and fresh ingredients as we can, my boyfriend and myself spend time researching recipes, making our own adaptations, cooking, taking photos, eating, and finally reflecting on all or part of the above listed process here. I hope you take the time to not only read and look at our photos, but please cook some of the recipes yourself. You are invited and encourage to leave feedback as we continue our culinary journey!

Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili

I guess it's needless to say that I am  slightly obsessed with the slow cooker right now. I love how I can simply dump all the ingredients in, go about my day, and come home to a wonderfully smelling prepared meal. This White Chicken Chili recipe was one of our favorites...

White Chicken Chili
3/4 pound bonless, skinnless chicken breasts cubed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 teaspooon ground cumin
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 minced garlic cloves
2 canes (15 oz) white kidney beans, rinsed and drained
3 cups chicken broth
parmesan rind (optional)
shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream

In a large skillet, cook the chicken cubes in a touch of olive oil. Gradually add the salt, pepper, onion, green pepper, oregano, and cumin and cook until chicken is browned and vegetables are crisp. Add garlic and cook for another minute before transferring everything into your slow cooker.

Pour broth and drained beans into the slow cooker, cover, and cook for 4 hours until the chicken is tender. If you have parmesan rind this is a great addition to the soup and you can add it at any point while the soup is cooking.

Serve warm garnished with sour cream cheddar cheese.
