I'm no photographer

Well it finally looks like winter in Illinois.  This is going to make my outfit pictures a little more challenging.  Like the next picture - I cut off part of my head.  I was in a hurry - it was really cold.  

And here's a perfect recipe for a snowy, winter day:
Let me start this part by saying I am so far from a professional photographer - especially when it comes to taking pictures of food.  I have a nice camera, I just need to learn how to use it! I promise you that this tasted delicious, although my pictures may lead you to believe differently.   It is easy, cheap and probably pretty healthy.  I made it in about 10 minutes the other morning before leaving for work.  

Chicken Chili 

2 lbs shredded chicken 

(I actually used turkey this time.  I had it in the freezer - which makes the recipe even easier!) 

48 oz. northern white beans (drained)

16 oz. thick and chunky salsa 

8 oz. shredded cheese (taco/cheddar, any kind you like) 

2 cans swanson chicken broth

1 can corn

1 tbsp cumin

1 tbsp chili powder 

Here's the ingredients: 

Almost forgot to take a picture of these bad boys:

Put it all in the crock pot and stir.  

I leave it on low all day while I'm at work and just turn it to warm when I get home.  It probably wouldn't need more than 2 hours in there if you wanted.  

I usually make corn bread to go with it. 

It is SO easy and a perfect winter meal! 

Isn't the crock pot the best?? 

Happy Friday!
