Easy Crockpot Chicken Chili

I am so so happy to be typing right now! After a crazy summer and then the business of getting everyone settled back into the fall routine it is nice to be able to sit down and endulge my hobby. I have had so many ideas over the last few months that I have been dying to get onto paper…or well onto the screen, I guess pen to paper is no longer a saying that makes much sense.

So I call up my mom and tell her to bring over some of those tomatoes stat!  HAHA, did you think I had a tomato garden??  My yard is filled with holes – last I checked the children are burying dragons eggs (one would think that burying something would involve the holes getting filled in). Any way I call my mom for her wonderful fresh tomatoes and she hooked me up.  I also use peaches for a little bit of sweetness to battle the heat of the peppers.   I love roasting everything before I start for the flavor it brings out of the fruits and veggies.
