Chicken White Bean Chili


This is delicious, as are all the other recipes on here, but few things beat a good crock pot recipe.

½ an onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, crushed

1 (4 oz) can chopped green chilies

2 tsp. ground cumin

1 tsp. dried oregano

1 tsp. ground cayenne pepper

2 (14.5 oz) can chicken broth

3 cups chopped cooked chicken

3 (15 oz) cans white beans, drained

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese


Throw everything into the crock pot and cook on low for 4-5 hours.

Strawberry Romanoff

Uncle Rob deserves credit for this one. It is delicious and super easy to make.


1 lb of strawberries
1/2 tube of fat free sour cream
2 TBSP white sugar
2 TBSP brown sugar

Mix everything together except for the strawberries. Cut up strawberries into bite size pieces and fold into the mixture. It is also great as a fruit dip for bananas and other berries. If there is any recipe having to do with berries, Rob knows best!


Oven-Roasted Vegetables

This recipe makes eating vegetables easy! It may seem like a lot of vegetables, but in the end, this serves 4-6 people.


1 whole medium yellow squash
1 whole medium cucumber
10 sticks of asparagus
1 medium red onion (I used half. If you don't like onions, do it anyways, trust me.)
1 whole green, yellow, or red bell pepper (pick 2)

Cut all into bite size pieces. Put in large bowl and coat with 3 TBSP extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper and 1/2 tsp of salt. Spread veggies into a thin layer on a cookie sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
