We’ve spent the past four or five years at …

Few meals are more satisfying to me during the cold winter months than chili. Even better leftover, it’s a staple in our house from October to March. I prefer to cook my chili in a slow cooker.  You can’t beat the convenience! I also typically use lean ground turkey to keep the recipe on the healthier …

Did the title of this recipe spike your interest? When I first saw it, it sure did mine! I love macaroni and cheese. I’ve had quite a few lunches with and dinners that consisted of just mac and cheese. I also love chicken pot pies, but I am not such a big fan of cooking …
