CPT: Eat Your Heart Out This Valentine’s Day with This Recipe!

Today is Valentine’s Day - the day where you show the people you care about why they’re such an important part of your life.

At Directive, we took today to show our employees just how much we love and appreciate them by cooking a meal that - we think - shows them just how special they are to us. That meal? Creamy Crockpot White Chicken Chili with a side of Kimber’s Favorite Cornbread!
