We are going to be watch the Patriots play later today. I know it’s not THE game but it’s one step closer and an important game and we seem to associate football games, well really all sports games with food. I made this creamy chicken chili and I will also be making come Cajun wings and just to pretend to be “healthier” some veggies and dip. Not sure what anyone else is doing be there will be too much food per usual.
We also got around 5 +/- inches of snow yesterday and we have another storm coming later today and with weather like this, it is very nice to have a pot of something warm on the stove and always great to have food on hand. Even though I do love to cook, some times I enjoy a break and not have to think about what to make next.

- Open and drain the beans, reserve one of the cans and place it in a blender to puree. Use some of the broth from the soup pot if needed. While this is optional it does help to thicken it a bit. Add the all the beans, the corn and let this simmer for 20-30 minutes.
