We are in the middle of a wintery blizzardy snow-pocolypse ’round these parts of Michigan as I type this. In fact, today I have a snow day–which doesn’t happen much in my urban district.
What is perfect for cold, yucky winter weather? CHILI! and CORNBREAD!
I love chili as much as the next warm-blooded American, but if I am honest, I love white chili even more, so I am sharing with you my favorite white chili recipe that I was given by my aunt.
