Best white chicken Chili I have ever had

Apparently it want taste of home award, so I had to try it out. I didn't take any pictures of my own because it was gone so fast. We even shared it with our neighbors who want the recipe!

The only advice I can give is to follow the spice measurements exactly...I put in a little more this last time and it wasn't as good.

    banana bread

    I made this banana bread a couple of weeks ago, and some have you may have seen it on my blog post.  This is the best banana bread I've ever eaten!  it's chewy on the outside and super soft on the inside.  I even bought old bananas today to make more!  I think I'm going to add chocolate chips next time.  I got this recipe from the food network. Oh and if you don't have sour cream that's ok.  I just used milk and it turned out fine.

    pioneer woman's enchiladas

    I made these for Hyrum last night, and they were super yummy.  I left out about four ingredients too cause we didn't have them on hand.  Who knows how much better they'd be with all ingredients! Hyrum even had thirds, and that's saying something! Just click on the link below if you want the recipe
