White Chicken Chili

It happened almost immediately.  I got my personal chef license and NOBODY wanted to cook for me anymore.  Nothing had changed really - I didn't become a picky eater or turn into a weird food snob but all of a sudden, everyone was afraid that I would be critical of their food.  I get it, it can be intimidating to invite a foodie over for dinner but quite honestly, we're far less critical that you might think.  

Believe it or not, I had to even convince my own family that I really wanted them to take a turn in the cooking.  They just assumed that I was the "best" cook in the house and that I really didn't wouldn't want to eat anything that they made.  The truth is, my very favorite meals are the ones that someone else has prepared for me.  

Last winter the neighborhood that I live in hosted a chili cookoff.  It was a great opportunity to taste all sorts of homemade chili recipes.  I cooked a batch of chili to submit for the competition but to be honest, I didn't even eat any of my own - I was much more excited about tasting everyone else's chili.  One of my favorites was a white chicken chili recipe.  Did I mention how thankful I am for friends who share their recipes with me too?

Gotta love having friends who are not only willing to cook for me and my family but also willing to share their recipes with me.  I've got some of the best friends around.
