It's just so stinkin' convenient to grab a few cans at the grocery store, keep them handy in the pantry, and pop a can open whenever I need some chicken broth for a recipe I'm making. I'm seriously all about convenience most of the time.
But when we do say
good-bye to that can?

When I'm on the go and short on time for getting dinner together, a store-bought rotisserie chicken is one of my go-to meals.
I mean seriously, what did we do before rotisserie chickens were so readily available in what-seems-to-be-every-single-store? They're juicy, flavorful, fully-cooked {probably cooked better than I could do at home}, and ... the best part ... fast.
But there's another reason I love rotisserie chickens. I also love them because rotisserie chickens make amazingly wonderful chicken soup.
Whip up a quick vegetable to go alongside, and a meal is on the table in no time.

Who doesn't love a hot and hearty bowl of chili? This one's spiced just right with the wonderful flavors of chili powder and ground cumin.
Hey, what's more satisfying and body-warming than a hearty bowl of chili? Not much, I say.
But when it comes to chili, I have a confession to make. For the looooooongggest time I made my chili with one of those store-bought little envelopes of chili seasoning.
Now, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that ... but once I discovered how easy it is to throw together my own chili seasoning, and how much more flavorful my own chili mix is ... well, there was no turning back.
With its chunks of roasted butternut squash, spicy-sweet flavor, and veggie-only base, this Roasted Butternut Squash Chili is a perfect-for-fall vegetarian chili. But is it really a chili?
I absolutely adore this delicious Roasted Butternut Squash Chili. With yummy chunks of butternut squash, spicy-sweet flavor, and veggies only, it's a fabulous fall vegetarian chili-with-a-twist.
But it got me thinking ... what makes a chili a chili? Have you ever wondered that?
I mean, some are loaded with meat. Some are not. Some are super spicy, some mildly spicy, and some just totally mild. Some thick. Some soupy. Beans. No beans. The variations seem endless.
Do they all qualify as 'chili??' Inquiring minds want to know. {Well, at least my inquiring mind wants to know.}

So I decided to do some digging and see what I could figure out ...
Whew! This Chipotle Sweet Potato Chowder is one that was tough to 'get right!' But I was determined. And persistence paid off.
The moment I came across this recipe in a magazine, I was intrigued. I had never thought of including sweet potatoes in a chowder, let alone making them the star of the show. Naturally, I had to give it a try. But ... it wasn't love at first bite.
Thick and creamy Chicken Corn Chowder warms and satisfies the belly on cold winter days. But with its fabulous flavor and how easy it is to make, it's perfect for enjoying any time of year!
Loaded with chopped greens and minus the traditional potatoes, Clam Chowder with Greens is a lighter Clam Chowder option. Serve up a bowl with some whole-grain bread, and you've got yourself a hearty meal with all the creamy goodness of New England Clam Chowder -- with a little more healthfulness packed in.
The thick and creamy goodness of New England style clam chowder, chock full of clams, cream, and tender potatoes ... it's one of my favorites. But, I felt it necessary to find a lower-fat, lower-carb, healthier version to make at home that didn't induce the usual post-bowl guilt I felt after indulging in it's rich yumminess.
Still, it was difficult for me to let go of the traditional. I did grow up in New England, after all. When I came across a recipe packing in greens and boasting lower calories and carbs, I was skeptical, but tried to hold on to a chowder-open mind. Replace the traditional potatoes with leafy greens?? Really??? Though skeptical, I was intrigued.
So, figuring the worst that could happen was a wasted pot of chowder, I took the plunge and cooked up a batch. Well guess what? This is now my go-to Clam Chowder. No wasted pot of chowder here. While it's not quite as thick as the traditional fare, it's got great flavor and a healthy kick from the greens.
Healthy greens like these turnip and mustard greens ...
... chopped up and cooked up with a whole mess of clams, half-and-half, and turkey bacon.
Serve up a bowl with some whole-grain bread, and you've got yourself a hearty meal with all the creamy goodness of New England Clam Chowder ... with a little more healthfulness packed in.
