Get Creative in the Kitchen!

I'd like to encourage you all to get creative in the kitchen. Some days you might find that you are missing an ingredient or two called for in a recipe you want to make.

I hate when that happens and there are days when I just don't have the time or even feel like running out to the store.

Do what I do and substitute an ingredient you do have on hand. Now you can't substitute all ingredients all the time.

Ingredient substitution ideas

Take my Crock Pot Chicken Corn Chowder recipe for example. You have to have chicken and corn. They are the main ingredients in the recipe but for a recipe like this Crock Pot Tex-Mex Chicken Chili that calls for stewed tomatoes, black beans and pinto beans you could make some changes.

What if you don't have any canned stewed tomatoes on hand? You could use chopped up fresh tomatoes, canned diced tomatoes or even a can of tomatoes sauce if you had to.

Use what is in your pantry

If your pantry is stocked with plenty of pinto beans and kidney beans but no black beans you could swap the beans out.

And who knows maybe you will love this new version of Crock Pot Tex-Mex Chicken Chili recipe so much it will become one of your favorite crock pot chili recipes.
