This is the recipe I use for white chicken chili---except that I don't use chicken. I just cut up 5 or 6 potatoes and put in the pot with the broth and beans, then cook until the potatoes are tender. It is super fast....the potatoes kind of soak up the spices, so they have a lot of flavor.
Hi, Mindfull. Just checking in. I come over here to newcomers to check in and say hi and there are pages to read through. Wow, you guys are prolific posters!:) But now I am enlightened as to the joys of spanx, what to wear running in cold weather, and some yummy looking recipes I just might have to try.:)
We are an educational bunch, eh? LOL Glad to have you come by!!!
Well, OK, I haven't been on the scale for about two weeks. I got on. I've done two weeks of the Couch to 5k (3x a week), which appears to burn about 335 calories per run, and I've done the three-mile walk by my house on the off days (4x a week), at a clipped pace. I've watched what I'm eating, but not to extreme...
AND, the scale hasn't moved ONE POUND! Grrrrr! (G says I'm gaining muscle, but I'd rather lose weight first!!) Weird, though, as my friend and I were at breakfast on Friday, and I was wearing a black downed vest, and I went to put it back on and she told me to wear something that fits. My vest is too big. (It used to be a little snug...) Great! So, I may be gaining muscle, but I'm losing boobs!
My legs are continually just a tad sore.
Up and down day yesterday w/H. As we all know, he can be a bit of a snark when tired, and I noticed yesterday when he woke up from a nap, that I'm not the only one on the receiving end of it. He's just that way. (Becoming NOT so attractive!) Mostly fun day, though. S12 went snowboarding, so, H and I took S10 to lunch and to a movie (Tooth Fairy - FUNNY - Love THE ROCK!). Then, S10 and I went to see his friend play basketball, and brought the friend home to spend the night... We all watched tv until late (furniture not rearranged, BUT we sat w/our heads practically touching on the separate couches. (Silver, no snack as we had just eaten!) At one point, H made a funny, cute comment about me, and I smacked him. (Does that count??? LoL)
Full day of activities today, some of which I don't have to partake in, and can just stay home and putter around the house. Having friends over tonight. Yea!

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
