Turkey White Bean Chili

Our kitchen is done and I can’t wait to show you! Here’s the BEFORE if you don’t know what I’m talking about. Yesterday I spent all day putting things away. It almost felt like we moved and we were unpacking. I traveled to the grocery store to fill up our cabinets with essentials for the week, hoping to escape the wrath of the Patriots game. Ugh. But I came home with the ingredients to make this Turkey White Bean Chili and somehow it lessened the blow.

Chili is just an excuse to eat alllllllll the toppings. I love them all.

This chili will only get better as days go on. For day one, I was super impressed. If you like hearty, spicy chili, this recipe is for you. Now if you need me, I’ll be sitting here staring at my kitchen cabinets.

Toast 12 Ways

I’ve been on a toast kick over the past 3 months. It’s probably because I love toast. It has never ever failed me, and to this I am grateful. Today I partnered with Dave’s Killer Bread who makes the best sandwich bread to show you some of my favorite ways to eat toast. Let’s start this Toast Party, shall we?

Around the House: Kitchen {BEFORE}

Our family has lived in our house (the house I grew up in!) for the past 4 years. The kitchen I’ve been cooking in is the SAME kitchen I learned to cook in when I was a kid. That really trips me out sometimes. This week our kitchen is being painted, so we moved EVERYTHING out into our dining room. I’m currently living this life…and it’s kinda weird because I got a flashback today of when I was little and my parents had our floors refinished and our whole house was turned upside down.

My Everyday Life: Week 2

Here’s what My Everyday Life Week 2 looked like:

And then 5 minutes later the rain washed it away.

Had our friends Lenny & Denise over for dinner last night. It was awesome.

This tree tripped me out.

Obsessed with the hat I bought at H & M 5 years ago. I found it when I was cleaning out my closet. It’s the perfect thing to wear when I have serious bed head. No one knows what’s hiding under there.
