Ice Storm Stew

Got Food Storage?

Got 5 minutes?

Then you've got Ice Storm [food storage] Stew!

I started with the intention of making a white bean chicken chili.
But I didn't have any white beans here...they're in my storage unit. Great place for food storage, huh??

I improvised and used what I had. Dump the following into your crock pot on low for a few hours until heated:

1 can chick peas
1 can black beans
1 can chicken
1 cup salsa
1 cup water

Optional garnish: cheddar cheese, sour cream and green onions (which I just happened to have in the fridge).

Serve with tortilla chips or Fritos scoops. There's plenty of salt in the salsa and the chips, so I didn't even add seasoning. So easy. So yummy.

My new love...

Too tired and hungry to make dinner today, I pulled this little pretty out of the pantry.

Along with a whole wheat grilled cheese sandwich, this was heavenly! Seriously, if you like basil you should try this. It reminded me of caprese.

Potato Love
