warm comforts.



There is very little that tastes better than warm comfort food when the air is numbing.


{white chicken chili}

Wednesday evening I had a group of friends over for dinner. When I went to grab some last minute items for the meal, my thermometer read -8degrees. It was pain. That is the kind of cold that shocks you, and feels like little needles in your skin. Needless to say, I felt good about my decision to make a warm crock pot of white chicken chili.
It was a lovely dinner party, accompanied by stories of funny dates and awkward valentines days.

While cooking, I fell in love with a new song, and it has quickly climbed to the top of my favorites list. It is titled "The Storm" and is by Elenowen. Her voice is literally intoxicating.
