Savvy with Abbie

Happy Sunday and NFL football and Broncos day:)  NFL football means cooler weather and that it has been this past week. After an 8-day heatwave of 111+ degree weather, I was so ready for 3 days of rain and finally in the 80's.

I looked up a crockpot shredded chicken chili recipe from Sally's Baking Addiction HERE and we made ours below. Besides the chicken breast, this recipe ended up being fairly reasonably priced. We also have a lot of leftovers and it was literally a recipe that you pour all the ingredients in and just leave for a few hours. Recipes like this are my favorite :) What is your favorite winter go-to recipe?
