My kids wore their pajamas inside out to bed last night.
I don't know if this is unique to our household, but my kids believe that if you wear your pajamas inside out it will snow.
Well, it did snow.
But only a light dusting, so they did not miss school (something I was not exactly sad about since they have already missed have of November with conferences and holidays).
What does this recipe have to do with wearing your pajamas inside out?
Nothing really,
other than it is a warm comforting soup for those cold nights when the little ones hope it will snow.
White Bean and Chicken Chili
Great on a chilly fall night.
Works great in a Dutch oven when you are camping.
o 6 cups white beans (We use White Navy beans but when short on this kind, I have used whatever is in the pantry. If using dried beans wash, soak and sort before using. This recipe also works with canned beans).

o 2 medium onions, chopped
o 3 minced garlic cloves
o 2 T olive oil
o 1 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
o 1 4 ounce can diced green chilies
o 2 t ground cumin
o 1 1/2 t dried oregano
o 1/4 red pepper flakes
o salt
o black pepper

Serve warm with Tostitos and garnished with sour cream and cheddar cheese.
