Breakthrough!!

Just a quick one this morning... while grocery shopping on Saturday morning I was overwhelmed by my desire to have what I call Nikki's Chili (it's a barley and chicken chili recipe one of my college roommates makes and is to DIE for). I've made it several times in the past so I knew what ingredients to pick up for it but at the same time, wondering how this was going to work because this chili has distinctly southwesteren/Mexican flavorings to it.

I through everything into the crockpot when I got home and by dinner time I was ready to chew through the stoneware pot it smelled so good! I had a couple of pretty small portions but not only could I swallow the chili but it stayed down AND tasted SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!

My first step toward eating the foods I love again. :D
