Here in Kansas City, it's felt like summer forever! I'm getting very excited for some cooler weather and cozy sweaters. Also leggings, I'm very much looking forward to leggings!

Today I wanted to share my favorite fall chili recipe with you. Having a quick, go to chili recipe gets me through the super cold days and I can't wait to pull this recipe out more in the coming months. Now, I am a huge dairy fan which is why this recipe uses cream cheese. Cream cheese is literally one of my favorite food groups! Also, I know some people like a soupy chili but I don't like soup so this chili suits me just fine!

Ingredients

1 can black beans rinsed and drained
1 can white beans, rinsed and drained

2 chicken breasts

Instructions

Place chicken at bottom of crock pot, then pour whole can of corn, rotel, black beans and white beans on top. Cover with seasonings and ranch mix. Stir together. Place cream cheese on top.

Goldie's Birth

That was the plan for three years as we tried and tried to get pregnant with Goldie.
