COMMENTS ARE CLOSED: ANNOUNCING DOOR PRIZE WINNER, REAL SOON!!!
I'm throwing a Virtual Halloween Party and you (yes, YOU!) are invited AND (along with these bloggers) I'm sharing a little something, something, ALL WEEK, with online friends, courtesy of Nestle Family.
Check out Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4 and Day 5 for a chance at some pretty awesome door prizes!
Today's theme is quick, easy and (hopefully) nutritious Halloween night meals that kids will love (ditto!)
For us? Our kids tend to go in 4 different directions, preferring to trick-or-treat with their besties, rather than each other. Rounding them up for dinner? Heh, good luck with that one, right? The advantage is that Halloween is on a Sunday, this year!
For me? The crock pot is my bff. I am ALWAYS on the lookout for yummy slow cooker recipes; especially, this time of year and if it's chili-based, since chili is one of the meals that ALL my kids, you know, will eat!
Today, I'm sharing a recipe for Pumpkin Chili (yes, I said it, pumpkin AND chili!) made with ground turkey and a recipe that I think can easily be adapted for the crock pot, served at a holiday party, or anytime of the year, really.
