    Slow Cooker Fall Harvest Chili  in red bowlI declare! It is now officially fall and therefore time for all things pumpkin! Or almost anyway. It's actually my tradition to treat myself to my first pumpkin spice latte of the season on my birthday (did they come out super early or what this year?!) and since that's not for a few more weeks, here I wait. But not to worry, I'm not really missing out because I've been busy trying out all kinds of other pumpkin based recipes. How about you? Are you on the pumpkin crazy train? I hope you will join me. I'm sure my chili made with pumpkin will sound a little crazy but it's actually so good! It is just like a big 'ole bowl of autumn for you to wrap your chilly hands around!

    Slow Cooker Fall Harvest Chili in red bowl with spoonIt was pretty much crazy how the temps dropped from like 90 degrees one day to about 45 the next. I just happened to have this chili on my mind and decided that I would take full advantage of the beautiful day by throwing open some windows, digging out my favorite new sweater and running to the store for the rest of the ingredients for this dinner!

    Slow Cooker Fall Harvest Chili  in red bowl with spoonI decided to go with a nice, hearty chili packed full of meat, beans and veggies. Some ground chicken, white kidney beans along with some butternut squash and parsnips. Can you think of anything more fall"ish"?

    Picture of Plaza 10K marathonSpeaking of, fall also means race season is back in full swing! I love running for so many reasons! I'm not fast and I don't have any plans to ever to a full marathon but I sure do love the feeling of the race atmosphere at a 10k or half. Training with my friends is great "me" time and I love it. We did one of our favorite races this weekend and the weather was so perfect! I couldn't have asked for a better morning! Plus, we rewarded ourselves with coffee after 🙂

    Slow Cooker Fall Harvest Chili  in red bowl with spoonI use my slow cooker year round (obviously) but there is just something about chili season that makes it that much better. Chili's are great because they can just cook away all day, the longer the better! You can have them going for get-togethers and football watching parties and people can just eat when they eat and you don't have to worry about a thing!

      Loved this! I didn’t have parsnips, so I just increased the amount of butternut squash and I used ground turkey instead of chicken, but it was very well received at my daughter’s pumpkin-themed 2nd birthday party. I did add a few dashes of cinnamon and allspice and thought that they worked well.

      It was good, but with pumpkin purée and squash I was missing warm spices like cinnamon and cloves. If I make it again, will definitely make those changes.
