Happy Friday!!! I am just going to pretend that it wasn't 75° yesterday. I thought it was finally going to stay cool, but apparently I was wrong. I knew I was going to dinner with a friend last night, so I wouldn't be home to cook supper for Hubs. What did I do? Hello slow cooker! I have I mentioned before how much I LOVE the slow cooker? You really can cook any and EVERY thing in the slow cooker.
For the Hubs, I decided to make my chicken tortilla soup. If I don't fix him something, he often opts for a "man meal" consisting of a steak and baked potato (or twice baked potato if he is up to it). The soup is a MUCH healthier options for him and he loves it! Best of both worlds!
