Eric and I keep getting the same type of reminders on our phones lately. A message will pop up that says “Call about.” I got one the other day that just said, “Cancel first.” Excuse me, cancel what exactly? And who am I supposed to be calling?? Ah, the joys of relying on modern technology. These were all of course reminders that we spoke into our phones at some point, that Siri didn’t quite pick up. Leaving us with a gnawing sensation that we’re forgetting something. Because we are forgetting something, and there is no way to find out what it is. Does anyone else mess this up as much as we do?? Hardly a day goes by that I am not cursing Siri’s name! Here’s to technology, making all of our lives easier and also 10x more frustrating. Who’s ready for chili season?? It comes every fall, right? We’ve got Fall Festivals, Harvest Parties, Halloween, and chili cook-off’s galore. If you are looking for something a little different than traditional chili or Quick and Easy Chili, look no further! White Chicken Chili is a classic! One time my sister, who is from California but lives in Texas, went to a chili cook-off hosted in someone’s home. She showed up with a big pot of White Chicken Chili and barely made it through the door before the host looked down at her food and said bluntly, “You know you can’t enter that in the contest, right?” Texans take their chili VERY seriously. Come on, head to the comments, we know you’re silently imploding. Tell us all about how white chili is not chili, and how NO chili most Americans have ever had is real chili, because they have beans and tomatoes in them. Now let’s get into these ingredients a little more:

Can you freeze this White Chicken Chili Recipe?
This chili freezes well! Add to a ziplock bag, seal well, and freeze for up to 3 months. When you are ready to use it, thaw in the fridge, then heat in a pot over low heat until it is hot. Or toss it in the microwave (from thaw OR frozen). You can also partially thaw it on the counter or defrost in the microwave until you can work it into a pot. Then add a couple tablespoons of water and heat on low until completely melted and hot. I love me some chili and have some other recipes you are going to love!
