What's For Dinner Tonight?

I'm always that person looking for ideas for new recipes, and it's even better when the recipe is on the healthier side. Pinterest is my best friend for those recipes, and there's one recipe that I've become a fan of. I've been making it for a couple months and I'm finally going to share it with you.

Even though we are in Spring and chili is something we think of as more of a winter food item, this dish is something that is healthier and amazing comfort food. It's called Buffalo Chicken Chili. Now most people know chili can be an adventure to make in the kitchen but this dish is super easy. And for those of you who work long hours and hate coming home to cooking dinner, this dish is for you. It's a crockpot chili recipe. So in the morning all you have to do is brown the chicken and then combine the items in the crockpot. SUPER EASY!
