Here in the Midwest, summer seems to desperately be hanging on. Temperatures have dropped a bit, but it’s still huuuumid. And we know that nothing says fall like sweating in your leggings and scarf.
But I’ve basically decided that if I believe hard enough that it’s fall, fall will magically arrive in all it’s magical glory. Sort of a “I think, therefore I am” thing.
Until then, I’m enjoying this Paleo, allergen friendly version of White Chicken Chili. It’s perfect to whip up on a cool day (or one you believe should be cool), cuddle up on the couch, and watch some football.
