A Wee Bit of Valentines

I don't normally decorate for other minor holidays, mainly because I forget!! But this year, well I don't know what has gotten into me but FOR ONCE I remembered. Now I didn't go all out . . . I placed a few things in the cloche on my dining room table, which is in the kitchen because we are replacing the flooring and it is getting a few minor changes:

see the little boyds bear? dh gave me that one year for valentines.
I had a little too much fun with picmonkey; can't you tell?


So can you guess what this little guy is reading? Lets take a pick and see . . .

"How do I love thee . . . Let me count the ways . . . " 
Isn't he the cutest?

I also decorated a small c-mas tree. I bought it for a steal, even though I don't use colored lights I figured it would be great for other holidays:




It isn't much, but my grandson likes it.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

White Chicken Chili

Let's talk about comfort foods; I am amazed how the subject only seems to come up during the colder months on blogs, however if your family is anything like mine, comfort foods can be eaten anytime of year.

This particular dish will be requested by my adult kids and my oldest grandson any time of the year...yes, even when the temps are hovering in the 100's!  Yes, We love this chili!

In fact, my family would rather eat this then regular chili AND Mr.DH co-workers are always driving him crazy, once the weather starts to turn cold, about me making it for them!

My middle son swears he could live off it for a week and never tire of it; his best friend, who is in Afghanistan, gets tortured with pictures every time I make it. Poor guy!


This is what I use to feed 9 with about 2 bowls left over.
