White Chili

Last week we enjoyed a fun family vacation in Florida. Four nights at Disney and a couple nights at St. Pete to enjoy the beach. The weather was a bit rainy but we were still able to get plenty of sun and welcomed the 80/90 degree temps.  We returned home this week to 40 degree weather and brrrr did it feel cold! Perfect time to make some chili.  This is my favorite white chili recipe that some friends made for us several years ago. I hope you'll like it as much as I do.
