It has been 7 days since I have posted a new recipe…where has the time gone?! This past week has been busy for me because I was planning a big surprise party for my Mom! And guess what? She had NO IDEA! It was the first surprise party I had ever thrown and I was so happy no one spilled the beans – pun intended π Besides the 106 degree weather here in Clovis the party was a success. The whole day we had her thinking we were just going out for a girls day and then come back home to have a family BBQ. (hehe)
While I was cranking out all of the final details for the party, I was also fighting a mean cold…which is another reason I have been slacking on blogging. I went on a cruise for 3 days, so go figure I caught a cold. Besides that, this post dietetic internship life has been great. I have been studying, working out and enjoying life while I can before I start my new job at Clovis Unified School District – YAY! Speaking of working out…the Bar Method Fresno has asked me to come on board with them to be their food blogger! All very positive things in life right now and I couldn’t be more excited to tackle this next chapter in life.
We are a little over 2 weeks away from July 4th so I started thinking of some yummy recipes to make for the gatherings and parties. Typically every year my mom makes chili so I had to share it. It is a lot different from a traditional chili but it is SO yummy. Letting all of the flavors mix together over a 4-6 hour time period in the crock pot is essential to the bursting flavor. You won’t want to miss this recipe at your parties this year! I hope you enjoy as much as my family does!

Thank you so so much!! I agree π Well…we had a chili cookoff this weekend with a few other couples so I made it then! <3
Hi! I was at the Bar Method in Fresno and saw one of your recipes posted on the wall–it had pasta, and I think artichokes and pesto and other ingredients–I was wondering if you could send the recipe to me–I can’t find it again. I want to make it tomorrow. Thank you-vikki
