    Meals in my house are always EASY and QUICK. I don’t really enjoy cooking as much as I do baking, so it feels like more a chore. But I’m also not willing to sacrifice taste (I want bomb meals) and my family cannot survive on cookies alone (though I could). Meet SLOW COOK SALSA CHICKEN QUINOA CHILI. It’s the easiest thing in the whole world to make for dinner and you’ll have leftovers too. It’s a win-win.
