Is anyone else ridiculously nostalgic this time of year? Man, I’ve got it bad. I was running around Lake Harriet the other day to Coldplay’s Sky Full of Stars, and I could just feel it. It’s so subtle, and so fleeting, and so exciting. I relish Fall. And my taste buds immediately turn to something soothing and warm. This version of White Chicken Chili with additional spices will have your taste buds singing.
