Black Bean 'n' Pumpkin Chili

This is a recipe I have not yet tried but my sister in-law sent it to me and she did make it! She said everyone told her it was the best chili they had ever had :) (Go Jenn!) Give it a try and tell me what you think!

What she used:

1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic
3c. chicken broth
2c. cubed cooked chicken
1 can diced tomatoes
2 cans black beans rinsed and drained
2 tsp. dried parsley
2 tsp. chili powder
1 1/2 tsp. cumin
1 1/2 tsp. oregano
1 (15oz.) can pumpkin
Mix all ingredients together and put in slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-5 hrs.

From her table to yours, bon appetite!

Super Simple Supper

I think I have a similar recipe to this one on here already, but I think I have it for the crockpot. I made this the other night when I wasn't sure what else to make and it was super simple and tasty! Sorry there are no pictures with this one! I forgot!

What I used:
3 chicken breasts
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can mushrooms
enough milk to make it soupy
cheddar cheese

Mix your soup, mushrooms and milk until it looks pretty soupy. Add your chicken and pop it in the oven at 400 for 30 min. Pull it out and put a dash of cheese on top and put back in the oven just long enough for the cheese to melt. Once melted take out of the oven and it is ready to serve! I served this over rice, you have plenty of gravy for both th chicken and rice! You can thicken your gravy by adding corn starch and heating the gravy over the stove.

From our table to yours, bon appetite!
