Potato Sausage Chowder

Perfect for chilly nights!  This chowder really hit the spot.

Ingredients:
4 cups diced potatoes
1 cup heavy cream
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 yellow onion
5 sausage links


In a skillet, brown up the sausage links with the yellow onion.  Once brown, remove from heat.
In a deeper pot, pour in the chicken broth, and diced potatoes.  Bring to a rolling boil.  Once boiled, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in cream and sausage links with onion.

Next time I will do a few things differently.  I will add a little more cheddar cheese to top it off and also cut some scallions for the soup.

Overall, it was delish!

Shrimp Tacos on a budget

This meal is so quick to make and easily one of my favs!  Another perk is it is so inexpensive to make!  Shrimp tacos on a budget!

Ingredients:

3 flour tortillas
1 avocado
3 tablespoons Marie’s chipotle ranch
1 frozen bag of shrimp (15-30 count)
Spinach leaves

First, put the bag of shrimp along with olive oil, butter & garlic salt in a skillet.  Put temp on med-High. Let cook for 10 minutes

While shrimp are cooking, spread a layer of chipotle ranch on each of the tortillas.  Also, spread a layer of avocado.

Delicious!  Completed taco should have chipotle ranch, avocado, shrimp & spinach leaves.  So tasty and so inexpensive to make.  And you will have leftovers!

PS. I did end up throwing my shrimp back in the skillet for a few minutes so they were a little more pink.
