athenaltenaI think I found a new favorite cold day dish. Mom's out with my Aunt Su for an annual dinner, so Dad and I were left alone and I had the idea to try a recipe that we'd had before. I'm usually cautious around chilis and spicy things because I'm a wimp, but I remembered liking white bean chili since it was a bit more subtle and not as overpowering as regular chili, not to mention being less likely to set my mouth on fire.
So after we went to the insurance company and got my policy changed to save us money we went to the store and got the ingredients, which was really just a can of Great Northern Beans, a little can of chili peppers and some cornbread mix, which came to less than $5, and we still have most of the beans and chilis left, not to mention lots of cornbread (yum).
Making it was pretty easy too since we had most of a whole chicken leftover from last night, so I threw some of that in, made some broth, threw in the spices (going easy on the cayenne pepper) and making the cornbread. It was done a little bit later, and I think it was very good and not too hot while still being tasty, and even my dad agrees (I left out the onions for him, he hates onions). So that was easy, cheap, and pretty good. I think I'll save that recipe.
