left over turkey?! try this recipe for turkey chili!

I have to confess, this recipe has been staring at me for weeks, but I haven't tried it yet! I couldn't wait to use left over turkey in this chili, BUT...no turkey came home with me at Thanksgiving! (sad!) so, I bought one today (only $.97 per lb at Super Target!)...and once the huge, bird thaws...I will be trying it! So, if you try this recipe...let me know your thoughts! :) Sounds delish to me! ;o)

Chicken Enchilada Chili (crock pot)

This chili is another hit in our family! Here's the recipe:

1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast cut up
1 medium yellow pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cans (14.5 oz each) diced OR stewed tomatoes with garlic and onion, undrained
2 cans (15-16 oz each) chili beans in sauce, undrained
1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
1 c. frozen corn
sour cream
cheddar cheese

mix all ingredients together in slow cooker (except for cheddar and sour cream)
cover and cook on low setting 7-8 hours
top with sour cream and cheddar cheese if desired...enjoy!
We love to serve this meal with corn bread muffins ( & honey butter), and a southwestern salad! YUM! :)

fun with melty beads!

I thought we'd do something different with melty beads today...making fun little gift tags/adornments! I loved doing these as a kid, and thought these would be fun to add to a kids' gift. We might be making some Christmas ones this year too! I bought this big container of beads and the sets of "discs" at Ikea!! (Love that place, and love their prices!!) Just leave a few beads off so you have space for a ribbon to go through! have fun getting creative!
