White Bean Chicken Chili
I first had this chili at my wedding shower back in 1993. My friends Jodi Ream and Tracy Walton served it to all the guests and became a big hit among our friends. It's since become a winter staple at our house. I make a double batch and portion it out into gallon zip lock freezer bags. I know that my family of four eats approximately 7 cups at a meal. So that's what goes into a zip lock bag -- 7 cups. Try doubling your favorite recipes, and freezing half. In time, you will have a freezer full of delicious meals. You end up only having to cook maybe twice a week.
