Menu Monday

Woah.  Winter came to visit the beach early this year and it kinda has me thrown off!  Seriously, y'all....it is COLD.  And for any readers that live in the north, feel free to laugh...;)  But it has been in the 30's.  And let me remind you that I live in Florida.  By the beach.  Sigh.  My boys are praying for snow and I'm praying the opposite ~ I guess we'll see who's prayers are stronger! 
{totally kidding! haha!}
 
This weather has me wanting all kinds of yummy comfort food but my nutrition log and desires are kind of duking it out right now!  I did my best to find some middle ground! ;)

I know I originally found the potato soup recipe online but its been a long time ago and I have no idea where I found it to be able to link.  So I figured I'd just share it here!!  Very easy, quick, and SO yummy!!
 
Crockpot Potato Soup
 
30oz bag frozen hashbrowns
3 - 14oz cans of chicken broth
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 C onion, chopped
1/4 tsp pepper
1 pkg cream cheese, cubed

Combine everything in your crockpot except the cream cheese.  Cook on low for 4 -6 hours.  About 2 hours before serving, add in the cream cheese.  Cook until cheese is melted!!
Top with bacon pieces, cheese, crispy jalapenos or whatever else you think sounds good!!
*don't use reduced fat cream cheese because it doesn't melt well at all!*

Be sure to let me know what you think if you try it!! 

Last week, we tried Chicken Chili Verde tacos for the first time and it was a HUGE hit!  My super picky eater ate them.  My teenager ate and ate and ate them and then ate them for lunch the next day too!  And I made a salad with it instead of a taco and it was amazing!!  You should definitely give them a try!

Now I'm off to make a hot cup of coffee and try to get warm!!  Hope your week is off to a fabulous start!!
