White Chili Is Where It's At

It has been a very quiet Saturday over here.  Greg was in Miami for work and I caught up on some shows, cleaned the apartment a bit and made a yummy dinner.

While in Waynesville last weekend, Greg's mom made some amazing white chili and she was sweet to give me a copy of the recipe.  I gave it a go for din din tonight and I have to say it was quite a success!  It's super easy to make and I think anyone would enjoy it.

• 1 tbs. olive oil
• 2 medium onions, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

• 1/4 tsp. red pepper sauce
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 can corn, drained

Remember how we bought an adorable little Christmas tree?  Well, we managed to fanangle a stand for the little babe and put some lights on her!  We also decked out our tiny balcony with lights :)

Notice the terracotta pot - yep we're creative

It's beginning to smell like Christmas!  If only it were cold and snowy out to make it really feel like Christmas time....

Have a good Saturday night!
