\"Skinnytaste<\/p>\n

Add this to the list of things I would have thought impossible before now: Gina Homolka<\/a> ever topping her first cookbook. And yet here we are, just two years after The Skinnytaste Cookbook<\/a>\u2019s release, and bookstore employees everywhere are making shelf space for an impossibly perfect second: Skinnytaste Fast and Slow: Knockout Quick-Fix and Slow Cooker Recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is the book to thank for the\u00a0slow cooker chicken taco chili recipe you see here, but more on that in a second. I\u2019m not done gushing just yet. So, I cracked open the spine on this baby a week ago, just after I\u2019d gotten home from a few weeks of back-to-back trips. Visually, this book is a stunner. Every page is artful, colorful and bright but still authentic and and lived-in. It\u2019s the kind of cookbook that makes you start lists\u2014and rifle through your house for post-its. \u201cI can\u2019t dog-ear these pages, Daniel!!\u201d (What I had to cry-tell him when I couldn\u2019t find any.)<\/p>\n

\"Skinnytaste<\/p>\n

To put it simply, Skinnytaste Fast and Slow<\/a> is the perfect cookbook for the modern world. It completely eliminates the excuse we all have: not enough time to cook\u2014and particularly not to cook healthy meals. All 140 recipes can be prepared easily and quickly, either on the stove-top, in the oven, or in the slow cooker. Get it? Fast and slow? Smart.<\/p>\n

The first recipe to hit my kitchen:<\/p>\n

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Chili<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s warm, rich, and lively with flavors like cumin, chili powder, sweet paprika, and a hint of oregano. And that\u2019s not thanks to a taco seasoning packet; Gina provides a quick recipe for homemade taco seasoning that makes use of ingredients you have in your spice cabinet. I love that. I\u2019ve been known to buy the packets a time or twenty, and this seasoning has all the flavor and none of the iffy ingredients.<\/p>\n

\"Skinnytaste<\/p>\n

The chili is thick\u2014the only way to make chili if you ask me. It\u2019s packed with shredded chicken (thank you slow cooker), sweet corn, creamy black and kidney beans, chunky tomatoes, spicy green chiles, and fresh cilantro.<\/p>\n

Set all of it in your slow cooker\u2014no pre-cooking necessary\u2014and let it simmer away all day long, then ladle it\u00a0into a bowl, grate sharp cheddar on top, and you\u2019ve pretty much nailed chili.<\/p>\n

\"Skinnytaste<\/p>\n

Friends, I encourage you to get this cookbook<\/a>\u2014out today! Every recipe is light, delicious, and QUICK. I couldn\u2019t have imagined Gina making a cookbook as good as her first, but she did. She\u2019s an inspiration to us all, and an amazing friend. This is a cookbook that I will have forever.<\/p>\n
