Good morning! My family loves milk! We go through 4-5 gallons a week. I have 5 kiddos. So that's probably why. ;) We love milk & cereal, a big glass of milk with pb&j, smoothies, milk & cookies, & of course, a big mug of warm hot chocolate on a cool fall morning is the best. I also use milk all the time in baking & cooking as well. Milk is definitely a staple in many, many of our family recipes. We love making homemade muffins & cakes & soups & sauces that all call for milk. One of our favorite family traditions is pound cake crumbled up in a glass with milk poured over it. My mom has the best pound cake recipe. Delicious!

Every year when the temperature cools, my family’s need for comfort foods made with milk always goes way up! Especially with the drop in temperature, the need for something warm, yummy and made with milk always finds it’s way to our menu. ;) These type of recipes always hit the spot with my family. Annnnd that is even more true this year. We could all use something warm & yummy to distract us from all the craziness going on right now.

Today I am excited to share one of my family’s favorite recipes. This creamy potato soup recipe that calls for milk along with potatoes, cream of chicken soup, onion & cheese, & served in a large bowl topped with more cheese, chopped green onions & bacon bits is the best. It taste like a creamy, melt in your mouth loaded baked potato. Yep! It’s that good! You can make this recipe in the slow cooker or on the stove. It's one of our family's favorite comfort foods when the weather cools. It's delicious! :)

Making Time for Family Dinner

I've partnered with Idahoan on this sponsored post and all opinions stated are my own. #SignatureRussets

Good morning! Let’s talk family tradition. :) We always have a big Sunday dinner with all the fixings' right after church. Usually we have a main dish like roast or chicken, rolls that have been rising on the stove & several side dishes to go along with that. Unfortunately, week days don’t always leave as much time to cook a big family dinner, but we do like to carry on the tradition of eating dinner together as a family. That’s why I love using a few short cuts (like Idahoan Signature Russets Mashed Potatoes) to make quick & delicious weekday meals. Idahoan potatoes help make every meal taste like Sunday. In addition to letting you know about these new potatoes from Idahoan, I’ll be sharing some tips on Making Time for Family Dinner. Let’s get started!
