Cooking at Home

I know it sounds silly, but I really am trying to make sure we are eating more meals at home this year!  This is not only for health reasons but also money.  It can be expensive to eat out as a family of four even when there is no alcohol involved.  When we do eat out I usually make my kids share a meal or share with us because let's face - kids meals are expensive and they very rarely finish them.

I am happy to say that in the last 7 seven days, we have only had 1 dinner out.  This guys is huge for me and our family.  And that dinner out was just hubs and I in which we used a gift card!  Can you say "winning"?!?!

Well now that my "squirrel" moment is over - back to the real point of this post - what I cooked!!

The other night I wanted something that I could "throw" in the crock pot so it was just about ready when I got home from work.  In theory this is a great idea, however poorly executed on my part!



White Chicken Chili

I used this recipe https://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/2018/03/crockpot-white-chicken-chili.html and tweaked it for the mess up's that I made!!  All in all it was delish!



I think the biggest game changer for me was using my kitchen aid mixer to shred the cooked chicken! Mind blowing!!

I dare you to try it if you haven't!!



I hope to share more recipes / things that I cook at home as the year continues!!
