Slow Cooker Chicken Wild Rice Soup
An easy and comforting recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Wild Rice Soup is perfect for a chilly evening dinner! This slow cooker soup recipe is also family friendly and one that my kids actually ask me to make! Chicken Wild Rice Soup isn't a soup that I grew up eating. However, once moving to Minnesota, it was suddenly everywhere. Apparently Minnesotan's take their wild rice soup seriously, and I've been working on a delicious chicken wild rice soup for years. I've gathered a few tricks from my mother-in-law (she adds almonds to hers!) and finally this Slow Cooker Chicken Wild Rice Soup...…An easy and comforting recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Wild Rice Soup is perfect for a chilly evening dinner!

Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili
Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili is the ultimate comfort food! It is so easy to make, a crowd pleaser, and is perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner. I really love white chicken chili and while I have an Instant Pot White Chicken Chili recipe on here, I haven't posted my slow cooker version. I had to change that because I actually make this version way more often than my Instant Pot recipe! This recipe is truly a family favorite with all five of us. It's super flavorful but not spicy, and so easy to make! My kids favorite part? Crunching up tortilla chips to put on top! Looking for other chili...…Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili is the ultimate comfort food! It is so easy to make, a crowd pleaser, and is perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner.

I Bought Taylor Swift’s Viral Pickleball Skirt & Here's What I Think (Curvy Midsize Review)
The internet is going crazy over the lavender skort Taylor Swift wore in a teaser video for her new album. Surprisingly, I’d seen this skort before and even considered buying one for myself.

The brand, Popflex, and designer, Cassey Ho (@blogilates) are ecstatic (rightfully so!) to be the new viral sensation. And I’m not usually one to follow celebrity fashion, but I love athleisure!
