Soup for a winters night

Is it just me or has winter lasted longer here in Texas then ever before? I know that Mr. Groundhog said that winter would last 6 more weeks but this is brutal. I mean can I just say poor Boston! I don't know anyone who lives there but I know people up there are going through a hard time. My prayers are definitely with them.


Back here in Texas it has not snowed/ iced yet, but we are supposed to get ice this week. I don't know about you but when it's cold all I want is a nice bowl( or 2) of soup. I also don't like having to cook it all day long. So I am going to give you the  receipt for my favorite slow cooker  Potato soup. My Husband loves this soup anytime I make it( I think its because he can put lots of bacon in his bowl)

Paula Deen's Slow cooker Potato Soup

30 oz. bag frozen hash browns ( I like to shred my own potato's but if I don't have time I buy the shredded kind)
2 cans 14 oz cans Chicken broth
1 can cream of Chicken soup
1/3 tsp pepper
1 8oz pkge cream cheese softened
Garnish, minced green onions, Bacon, and cheese

In a slow cooker combine hash browns, Broth, Soup, and pepper.
Cover, cook on low for 5 hrs.
Stir in cream cheese, cook 30 min, stirring occasionally until combined.
Serve and add garnishing.

Enjoy! What's your Favorite soup for a cold day?





 

Let the wedding Bells Ring....

Last year was by far the most stressful year of my life( until Kids come along). I was popped the question in November of 2013 by my best friend. He had planned a surprise proposal at the Bellagio in Las Vegas!!! How cool is that? I of course said yes, and as soon as we landed back in Austin I took off running with wedding plans. By April we had everything pretty much done we just had to pay them. Ha. Most of the summer went well, with the thought of payments always in my mind. Fast forward to September....

My Friend Scott has this amazing house out in Bastrop, TX that I fell in love with the moment he built it. He had mentioned  a couple of times us renting it from him while he stayed with his kids in Comfort. I immediately said "YES!!", but thought it wise to ask my fiancé first. After much begging discussion. Ronnie finally said we could move. Folks it is January and I am still unpacking. Between moving, unpacking, and commuting 3 hours a day I still had a wedding to plan! I will spare you the details of me crying days upon days due to all the stress. I wasn't a bridezilla, I was more of a cry in the corner and maybe my tears will wash the problem away. ha ha

Our Wedding day was everything I hoped it would be. Our guests had fun, I felt beautiful, and Ronnie looked handsome. We got married in Georgetown at Gabriel Springs. The venue was just so amazing, anyone looking for a place I highly recommend them. I said "I do" to a lifetime of love and to years of happiness. We honeymooned in Orlando and did all the fun Disney and Universal Stuff.

Well there you have it folks, after being away from blogging for awhile I am back and ready to share with you my exciting adventures. I am hoping to post pictures soon, but this is a new computer so I have to figure out the kinks.

How  did your Husband propose? Where did you honeymoon?
