Happy Thursday, friends!
How is everyone adjusting to being back in the real world?
- The holidays are over.
- Work/school/commitments/activities have all started again.
- It’s still cold.
I don’t know about you, but when all of the above things 👆 are happening, I need something to look forward to at the end of the night.
And by that, I mean, I need a really solid dinner to look forward to. 😉
When it’s cold and dark by 4:00 PM, I crave something warm, filling, hearty, and cozy.
Enter: Idahoan Premium Steakhouse Creamy Potato Soup paired with my favorite Wedge Salad Recipe.
Because what’s more comforting or classic than a really great soup and salad for dinner?
