lunch and a movie

Yesterday my friend Wendy and I had lunch at our new favorite restaurant - Blue Sage Vegetarian Grille. We had been there once before, and when Wendy said she had taken a day off to get together {with no kids!}, we both knew where we wanted to go. The place is cozy and has the most delicious food. If you're in the Philadelphia area {Blue Sage is in Southampton} I highly recommend having a meal here!

After lunch we saw Juno. Have you seen it? What a great movie! It's funny, smart and the soundtrack was perfect for the movie. One of my favorite scenes is the one in which Juno tells her parents that she's pregnant - especially the part after Juno leaves the room and they talk about what they thought {or were hoping} she was going to say. See this movie!

Do you have any movie recommendations?

On another note, someone requested the recipe for the White Chili I made the other day. Enjoy!

White Chili

2 cans great northern beans, drained
2 lbs. (about 3-4) boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 medium onion, chopped
2 4 oz. cans chopped green chilies
2 t. cumin {I only used one - cumin has a really distinctive taste that I'm not crazy about}
1 t. garlic powder or minced garlic
1 t. oregano
1 t. dried cilantro
14.5 oz can chicken broth
1 c. water {I think next time I'll only use a half cup}

Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Brown in oil with garlic. Put everything in slow cooker on high for 5-6 hours. Additional water or chicken broth can be added if needed.

Before serving, add 2-3 T. lime juice.

May be served with:
monterrey jack cheese {this is what I used}

red bell pepper
avocado
fresh cilantro
tomatoes
salsa
tortilla chips
cornbread
