This week it has been cold, rainy, and windy and with weather like this all I want to do is stay snuggled at home in my pjs, watching Netflix, with a cup of hot cider and a bowl of warm, comforting soup. This recipe for Shrimp and Potato Soup, garnished with bacon and cheese, is adapted from a recipe by the amazing Paula Deen. It is the perfect hearty soup for a cold winter night. Enjoy!

  • 1 lb medium shrimp peeled
  • Bacon crumbled for garnish
  • Cheddar cheese shredded for garnish
  • French bread sliced and toasted

    Very good, light soup that will not overfill you. I did make some changes. I did not use any flour/rou and I added plenty of bays seafood seasoning. Remember to NOT BOIL the milk when cooking the potatoes, it will scald/cuddle, just slow simmer! I also added some baked cod that was leftover in the frig.

🌳 ✨️NWA Must See : Listening Forest by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. 
My family and I had the pleasure of experiencing this nighttime interactive exhibit at @crystalbridgesmuseum last week. It was unlike anything we have ever done before and we spent two fun filled hours exploring the lighted forest and all the lights, music, sculptures, and sounds within. Hands down one of the best experiences we have had so far in Arkansas!

It's #WhatchaReadingWednesday (a day late, whoops!). I was so excited to find this Choose Your Own Adventure book at @samsclub and it's a #StrangerThings story! I loved these books growing up and I am super excited they are making a comeback. This easy read is perfect for throwing in your bag and picking up anytime you have a break and want to read a chapter or two of a story. Super excited to read this one and you know I plan of reading all 25 endings! ✨️
