Okay, so I WAS just going to make a simple chili pun because of the weather, but that joke made me hungry for chili. Now it is going on the menu for this weekend. Do you have a favorite recipe for some comfort food when the weather is cold like this?

Personally, I like this white chicken chili recipe; it is easy, tasty, and gives me multiple meals. Fair warning for all of our native Texans, it has beans. I understand that this violates chili rules, so I just want you to know that I know, and I apologize in advance. Maybe I should call it a white chicken stew? Either way, it is GOOD.

If you have a go-to cold-weather recipe, send it my way! Once I receive some favorites from residents, I'll share them on the Association Facebook page as a recurring weekly post. Now I just have to think of a fun name...do we call it Meal Prep Monday? Food You Love Friday? That's Delicious Thursday? The possibilities really are endless.

Since we are on the topic of culinary delights, I hope that all of our Crafty Kids enjoyed the cookie decoration kits dropped off on Wednesday.

Make sure you stay warm and enjoy your Valentine's Day!

Have a great weekend!
