WHITE BEAN CHICKEN CHILI

While I love a good old fashion tomato based chili, this healthy chicken and white bean chili is one of our favorite football Sunday meals. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, some freshly shredded cheddar and avocado.

Voted The Best Cookie Ever (by my son’s 8th grade class in 2019). But they seriously are! Browned butter and Rolo’s make these cookies standouts!

Tips for Hosting a Super Bowl Party
  • Seating is Important
    Have two sitting separate areas. One for those who watch the game and one for those who don’t. There is nothing more annoying than trying to watch the game with a bunch of people talking nonstop and not paying attention to the game.

    Equally it sucks to be sushed nonstop if you are the talker who just came for the food, drinks and commercials.
  • Keep the Decor Simple
    I try and get things I can reuse year after year, and that are simple. A banner, a few foam fingers, and some small footballs are perfect. Green, white, and light brown to emulate the colors of the field, and they are all things you can reuse. Here are my six go to decor items for my Super Bowl gatherings.

    TIP: Get balloons the morning of that are the colors of the two teams. Green, black, and white groupings and red, black, and white groupings this year. 
  • Have Some Fun
