So the other day my husband made some corn chowder soup...much like something he had eaten on the plane from Japan. It was simply delicious! It had hominey which added so much earthy depth to the flavor. The squash made it pretty.

Christmas -Plain & Simple
So I am not a fan of Christmas decorations. It is just my personal preference. But I am a mother to little girls who don't share the same view! So this year I got a tree! Simplifying for us means a small home, and not much room for loads of decorations!
So this year we kept it simple in size and budget. One box of tree decor, one 4' tree, one bundle of live garland, 6 small live poinsettias, and a few little things to sit here and there. Oh, and a shower curtain that was just too cute!
Here is out little tree (it has lights!)
This is our garland that was strung over our bookcases. I am a big fan of real garland.
We had fun decorating! It was a great memory maker with our children.
It took us just an hour or so and we were all done. It was fun and will be easy to take down too!
White Chicken Chili
White Chicken Chili is SO good! I love it over mashed potatoes. It is so easy and so yummy on a cold day.
It is:
Chicken Bullion
Onion
Chicken Breasts
Canned Navy Beans (DO NOT DRAIN..add the whole can..the "goopiness" helps to give it texture)
Diced Green Chilies (don't drain)
Dice chicken and onion. Add beans, chillies, chicken bullion and some water. Season to your liking. Cook on high 4ish hours :)
