Slow Cooker Chipotle Pork Chili

Oooh boy! Slow cooker chipotle pork chili! What's not to like about this? It's made in a slow cooker (win). It's full of tasty chipotle smokiness (win). There's a bunch of veg (win). It takes minimal effort (win). It's topped with tasty stuff including crunch crunchy Crunchmaster crackers! Again with the crunch — such an important component in my meals!

This is my third and final post with Crunchmaster, so lets touch base again on how I'm doing at becoming a balancemaster. I'd give myself a B-, if we're being honest. I've done a great job of not feeling pressured into social things, taking time to be at home, chill out, etc. but I've also kind of just replaced one busy with another: house projects. We've been here for just over 3 weeks now, and it feels like I'll have things to do (to the house) for the next 30 years! I'm sure that's true, but I also recognize that there is nothing that needs to be done right now. I can live with the ugly paint color (but really, can I? Woooof.). I'll be fine without the perfect light fixture. I'm just kind of impatient, so maybe that's the next part of mastering balance — being a bit more patient!

One thing I am mastering today is GOING TO JAPAN! We leave tonight and I'm so, so so so excited to be taking a fun international vacation. It's been a while since I've taken a vacation, and an even longer while since I've been out of the country! We're so excited. Make sure you follow along via instagram!

I'll have a few food posts come out while we're gone, and may do a travel post on Japan when we get back. Would anyone be interested in that? It's also been a long while since I've done a travel post! If you've been to Japan, let me know in the comments what we MUST do!
