Beans, greens and chicken come together with tomatoes in a thick and creamy broth. This recipe, as with most chili recipes, doesn't need to be exact and can be altered to fit your taste or what you have on hand. The choice of greens is up to you - my first choice is kale, but you can use spinach, turnip greens, collards or a combination (my favorite)! If you use fresh greens, wash and chop them very fine before adding them to the slow cooker.

Apple Butter Pork Loin
This is the best pork recipe I've ever made. This pork is seasoned with a spiced apple butter, and roasted in apple juice. If food can be warm and cozy, this is it--a great Sunday dish!
Cranberry-Ginger Linzer Torte Cookies
This is one of my favorite cookies for a few different reasons. It's kind of a sandy cookie, so you get that snap. Its warming spices play very nicely with the cranberry-ginger jam. You can use that jam in other places, even as cranberry sauce. You have that acidity and that little bit of sour as well as sweet. And they're just as good right out of the freezer. It's a great cookie with the holidays for exchanges or just to have after dinner. Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Sweet Potato Hummus
I wanted something easy and fitting for an autumn gathering. I found a sweet potato hummus recipe and altered it to make it even easier to make. It is a nice combination of naturally sweet and typically savory. Serve with pita wedges, crackers, or cut veggies.
