👉 Just Between Us: This Cheesy Potato Soup Is My "I Can't Deal with Dinner" Button

Published 7 months ago • 1 min read

Hi there Reader,

Some days are just hard. You don't feel like working, moving, or cooking. But we still have to eat.

This is one of my favorite recipes when things are hard, I want some comfort, and need to make something simple.

  • We make this 30-minute hamburger soup on repeat. My son asks for it all the time, and if I am busy, he makes it. We've switched things up and used a can of Ro-Tel instead of cutting up onions and bell peppers, and it makes things go faster. (P.S. Just don't accidentally get the "HOT" spicy can if you can't handle the heat. Lol! I thought my son peppered it wayyyy too much - I drank an entire 30-ounce cup of water with it. Ha, it was the wrong can. It will be the "Mild" can for me going forward). P.P.S. Eating spicy soup is a good way to get enough water in ya for the day. 🤪
  • ​Parchment paper sheets - I love these. I keep them in a drawer right by the oven, and I pull them out and line cookie sheets. It makes clean-up so much faster (because I hate dishes). And I use them with pork chops, fries, cookies, you name it.

Hi there Reader, I love putting side dishes in the crock pot, especially when the main dish already has me using the oven. I actually keep a small crock pot just for sides, and it earns its keep around here. I pull it out for holidays, but I use it during the week too when I want one less thing to watch on the stove. Tonight I’m making a cozy ground beef and rice casserole, letting glazed carrots take care of themselves in the crock pot, and finishing everything off with lemon lush for...

Hi there Reader, When you hear “just five ingredients,” do your ears perk up too? If you’re like me, you don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen—or hunt down 20 ingredients you’ll never use again. That’s why I think you’ll love this recipe: chances are, you already have everything you need. If you keep a bottle of BBQ sauce in the pantry (I always do—it’s a lifesaver), you’re halfway there. This Crock Pot chicken comes out tender and juicy, smothered in that sweet, tangy BBQ sauce we all...
