Chili {Crockpot}
It has been crazy, crazy cold. We got back home on Monday from 80° South Florida weather for 11 days, so this is quite a shock to the system. It was 14° yesterday with a windchill of -2°. I know you folks in the North have no pity on me, but I’ll just say I don’t know how you Northerners do it. So anyway, with all this cold I decided chili and cornbread waffles would be warm and comforting. If you’re having to brave the cold like I am, you should give this chili a try!
Servings: 6-8
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 3-4 hours

Buffalo Joes
Last night I was wanting Buffalo Chicken something…I had a couple pounds of chicken in the fridge, so I decided to use all of that for some Buffalo Chicken. Keep an eye out for several recipes that will use the rest of this yummy chicken. I call these Recipe Remixes, which are great for those super busy nights.
Servings: 8
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
2 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts; chunky/shredded
1 packet of Ranch mix
2-3 cup Buffalo Sauce
1 cup of chopped onion
1 tbs. minced garlic

Dr. Pepper Museum:Waco, TX
On one of our Texas adventures, we were headed from Fort Worth down to Houston, but took a few detours along the way. One of our stops was at the Dr. Pepper Museum in Waco, TX. The museum is housed in the 1906 bottling building, which was turned into the museum in 1989. Now if you’re comparing this to the World of Coke, Dr. Pepper’s got nothing on Coke! However, you will still find this museum to be rich in the history and memorabilia of this most popular drink.

Boy Scout Ski Trip 2014::Gatlinburg, TN {Day 1 & 2}
Friday we headed out in a caravan with Drew’s troop towards Gatlingburg for a weekend of ice skating, snow tubing, skiing and more fun. We got in around 1am, handed out keys to boys, and found our way to our cozy little room.
Saturday morning we got up and shoved down some hotel breakfast before hitting the town. Who can’t go to Gatlinburg without drooling over the caramel apples, taffy, and handmade candies?
