My name is Stephanie Fitzpatrick. I am now in my 30's and living in Central KY with my hubby Tyler, and our crazy, adorable poodle, Rolen. I am a Christian and am so thankful to my Savior. He's has blessed me beyond what I deserve. I love cooking, baking, and traveling. Grand Cayman is our favorite beach, and Disney World is the BEST place on Earth! Been TTC since 2015. We have had 2 successful Embryo Transfers through IVF, but sadly my first pregnancy ended at 20 weeks when I went into preterm labor and we lost our son. This blog is a little insight into our IVF journey, plus possibly recipes, ramblings, home projects and whatever else I fancy.

Chili

Now that the weather is cooling, it is the perfect time for chili.  This is one of my fall/winter favorites!  My mom taught me how to make chili, so this is essentially her recipe with me making my own adjustments.  I went from only wanting meat in my chili to loving to load it up with veggies and beans.  Chili is a great meal for the cold days, that is filling, but not really bad for you.  This is also incredibly simple!
What you will need for this Chili:
1 lb. ground turkey
2 15.5 oz cans chili beans, any kind
3 14.5 oz cans Del Monte Zesty Chili Style Diced Tomatoes (they have great flavor)
1 c. diced onion ( I usually buy a package of pre-diced onions.. It's easier)
1 small green bell pepper
1 small red bell pepper







First brown your ground turkey.  While it is browning, dice your bell peppers.  Now, I use my crock pot for this, but you can certainly do it on the stove top if you want.  In your crock pot dump your chili beans, tomatoes, onions and peppers.  Stir to combine.  Once your turkey is done browning, drain and add it to the pot.  If will be a bit thick, but as everything cooks down, it will produce more liquid.  Cook on low for about 4 hours.  It will be bubbling and your house will smell divine.  If you decide to make this on the stove top, just cook until everything is heated through--simmering about 45 min.

Happy Cooking! Enjoy!

By now God's way of putting people right with himself has been revealed.  It has nothing to do with law, even though the Law of Moses and the prophets gave their witness to it.  God puts people right through their faith in Jesus Christ. God does this to all who believe in Christ, because there is no difference at all: everyone has sinned and is far away from God's saving presence.  But by the free gift of God's grace all are put right with him through Christ Jesus, who sets them free.  God Offered him, so that by his blood he should become the means by which people's sins are forgiven through their faith in him.
