I don't really know why, since it is still hot and summery here.  Maybe it's the "Back to school" feeling, because I have curriculum on the brain.  Or maybe just because Violet started soccer already (which seems to happen earlier every year!)  I don't know why... but for me, fall means a change of menu that I like... bring on the soups, stews, and crockpot meals... yummy!  So, I thought in honor of a. thinking of fall and b. having absolutely NO blog topic ideas today, (LOL!), I will post a favorite recipe.  You have to try it!  I got this recipe from my sister and doctored it up a little bit, and it is SO good!  It is my standard "bring-a-meal-to-a-friend" recipe, because it makes enough for us and another family, too, and because it is so yummy.

Here it is:

Mrs. Incredible's White Bean Chicken Chili
