Logan and I spent this past weekend redoing our pantry. To do this, we had to completely empty out our pantry…unloading everything onto every bit of counter and table surface space that we had in our kitchen. There was no room to cook and no time to slave in the kitchen. Answer: Crock-Pot. This Crock-Pot Turkey Chili is full of awesome protein and fiber. So filling, easy, and very healthy.

On a side note, I apologize in advance for the picture quality. With the chaos, I managed to loose my camera’s battery charger. I had to use my old camera…therefore, bad quality photos. Hopefully, you can see through them, and know that the food tasted fabulous.

Logan also wanted to say a BIG thank you to Kala for bringing him this tasty Highland Brewery beer.

Okay. Those of you who know me, I am a neat freak and would never consider eating on the floor. However, since we didn’t have any room at our kitchen table, or any surface for that matter, we ate on the floor. Surprisingly, we had a good time doing it. It was definitely fun for a change. And, for those of you (like me) who were worrying: not to worry, the floor was clean.
