White Chicken Chili


We recently had a week that included three separate gatherings at our house. None of them were very large, but in an effort to make the cooking easier on myself, I decided to serve the same thing at two of the events. I found this recipe for White Chili, altered it according to what we had on hand—namely, using chicken instead of pork and adding in some potatoes—and made it in my slow cooker.

Slow Cooker Chili


Generally speaking, most stew or chili recipes can be made easily in the slow cooker. I like to cook mine on low for 6-8 hours, depending on the type of meat that I use, so that the flavors really have a chance to meld. (Some cookers run warmer than others, so keep an eye on yours if it’s new until you have a sense of how it works.) This chili, which features mostly white ingredients for a more elegant appearance, cooked up beautifully. The chicken was tender and shredded naturally, and the lime juice at the end added a nice, bright finish. We had it with shredded cheese on one occasion and sour cream on another, so you do what you like best. (Cornbread muffins would be a good idea, too!)

Struffoli

Garlic and Onion Boiled Peanuts

“Here’s an original twist to a Southern favorite. The garlic flavor really comes out in this recipe whether the peanuts are served hot or cold. I love them served room temperature with a cold beer on a summer day! You can also begin cooking the peanuts, then let them soak overnight, and continue cooking the next day. Serve hot or cold, and make sure you have plenty of napkins on hand because these are messy.” Ingredients: 1 tablespoon butter 1 large onion, cut into wedges 30 cloves garlic 1 1/2 pounds raw peanuts, in shells 1/2 pound salt Directions: Butter in a large saucepan over medium heat . Stir in the onion and garlic ; cook until soft and translucent , about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat . Add the peanuts and salt to onion mixture.
