Slow Cooker Chili

It’s definitely the time of the year to start breaking out the slow cooker (or crock pot, if that’s what you prefer) and it’s also the time of year to look for chili recipes. For me, I love finding recipes that are easy to prepare and get going throughout the day. Recipes that don’t involve too much preparation are my favorite. And it’s even better when those recipes are toddler approved because then I don’t have to worry too much about preparing something else for Squeaker.

After getting extremely sidetracked with all of the cute DIY Christmas idea, I turned to my trusty friend google. Somehow, the thought to make a risotto got into my head and I found one for a turkey and mushroom risotto made in the slow cooker. Perfect! It came out wonderful and I thought why not try to duplicate that by making a slow cooker shredded chicken risotto. This recipe is also very budget friendly, with the priciest item being the…

We love making stir fry in our house because it’s so easy to put together. Most of the time we have the ingredients we need on hand, so it’s only a matter of making a quick stop to the grocery store to pick up the main ingredient. Usually we make beef stir fry, but we’ll also make chicken stir fry. The other night, however, Kyle and I were debating as to how we should make our stir fry. Since we don’t have a wok, we usually just use a saute pan. We both have fond memories of our parents…
