I'm in Love

Of course my first love is my husband BUT my new love is my crockpot.  Now mind you I've had this little bad boy for 3 years.  Never opened, pushed to the back of my cabinets.  I bought it when we were in our last apartment before buying our house.  I think my mom was up for a visit from Fla and we took a ride to Bed Bath and Beyond to browse around (love that store)

Yesterday I decided to make chicken chili from Food.com  Perfect for a crisp fall day. Really easy and most of the ingredients I had in my cabinets.  I like a more hearty chili so next time I will use less of the "juice" from the beans.  Other than that   it was delicious.  I served warm Italian bread on the side.  Rice or a salad would be good too.  Here is the recipe and some shots from my kitchen (notice my unfinished back splash ugh!)
