Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

This Chicken and Wild Rice Soup is a quick and easy meal jam packed with yummy ingredients and flavor! It is sure to become an instant new family favorite!
 

This winter has been insane. We received several feet of snowfall in a short amount of time and then rain and warmer temperatures came. It is cold and wet and all I like to do on rainy and/0r snowy days is stay inside and watch it from my windows. These days I crave nothing but soup!

This Chicken and Wild Rice Soup recipe comes from my Aunt. Over Christmas Break my entire extended family got together and we had a soup and salad bar. My aunt made this soup and everyone went crazy over it! It was one of the most popular ones there. She so kindly gave me the recipe to share with all of you. Trust me, you are going to want to make this one ASAP!

This soup is loaded with such yummy ingredients and has a fantastic flavor. People won’t be able to stop coming back for second helpings :)

Peanut Butter Fudge

This Peanut Butter Fudge is creamy and absolutely divine! It is topped with crunchy peanuts and is the perfect treat!
 

Life is absolutely crazy right now, in the best way! I love the holidays and the feelings and food that come with it. Neighborhood gifts are starting to make their way around here and I have been trying to narrow down what I am going to make for my sweet friends and neighbors.

Fudge is a MUST HAVE at my house around the holidays. It is probably one of my favorite types of treats this time of year and makes an excellent gift. I love the creaminess and all the many varieties.

My husband is a huge peanut butter fan so I thought it was high time I made my favorite fudge recipe into a peanut butter version.

This Peanut Butter Fudge was a HUGE hit!!! It has such a rich and creamy base and it topped with crunchy peanuts making the perfect bite-sized dessert. If you love peanut butter, then this fudge is a must try!
