What a Difference a Day Makes

So I was wasting time on Pinterest.

I happened across a pin that one of my friends re pinned:



The location of the item doesn't exist anymore (because it has probably been re-pinned a whole bunch of times), but if you Google "what a difference a day makes", there are a bunch of websites that offer to make the print for you for a fee. Here's one on etsy:

I re-pinned it because I thought it was such a lovely idea. But why pay someone when you can make it yourself???

So I did!



I bought an 11x14 frame with matting from Walmart & we'll be hanging up our new piece in our living room.  Right now it's just sitting on our piano:


 Not too shabby, eh?

No Mess White Chicken Chili Express

This is a recipe I posted on All Recipes.  This is what I call the no mess chili. There's literally no work involved. You open the cans of beans, rinse them, and throw them into the crock pot with the rest of the ingredients. Set for 4 or 6 hours and you have a hearty, flavorful meal. You can really use ANY beans you want. I added light red kidney beans for a pop of color. You don't want to skip the green chilies or cilantro, because they really make the flavor burst!

Ingredients

• 4 (10 oz.) cans cooked chicken
• 3 (14.5 oz.) cans chicken broth
• 1 (40.5 oz.) can Great Northern Beans
• 1 (16 oz.) can Navy Beans
• 1 (15.5 oz.) can Pinto Beans
• 1 (15.5 oz.) can Light Red Kidney Beans
• 2 (4.25 oz.) cans diced green chilies
• .75 oz. fresh cilantro, chopped
• 3 tsp. cumin
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp. minced garlic
• 2 tsp. ground mustard
• 1/4 tsp. paprika

Directions

1. Rinse & drain all beans, then add to crock pot.
2. Pour in all 3 cans of chicken broth into crock pot.
3. Rinse canned chicken (break apart with fingers) and add to crock pot.
4. Chop cilantro coarsely and add to crock pot.
5. Add the rest of the seasonings (cumin, cayenne, garlic, mustard & paprika)
6. Set crock pot for 4 to 6 hours.
7. Serve over rice or corn bread.
