Become the master of multitasking. By this, we mean: Invest in a crockpot. Crock pots make meals SO much easier. Throw a few things together, turn the heat up, cover, and let it cook while you’re at work. You get to come home to a delicious meal, your house will smell fantastic, and your family will appreciate all the hard work you *must* have put into such a tasty meal (don’t worry— it’s our little secret). This recipe for white chicken chili (adapted from mynaturalfamily.com) is perfect for any season, so you can make it year-round (or freeze the leftovers and just enjoy whenever you like). We call it health comfort food. Enjoy!
