Pecan Pie Bread Pudding at Weekend Potluck #347

Pecan Pie Bread Pudding

Hello weekend! We are finally seeing fall temps here in Virginia and gasp, I had to turn on the heat. This time last week it was still hot and felt like summer. I usually try to hold out for as long as we can but it is time. I have to admit though, I have had the fireplace on a few mornings this week. We have some amazing features this week. Pecan Pie Bread Pudding from Call Me PMc is the recipe that grabbed the most love from last week's potluck. How scrumptious does this sound. Other featured recipes include Instant Pot Meatballs and Gravy from Soulfully Made (oh mercy!), Slow Cooker Turkey Breast from Biscuits and Burlap, and our hostess recipe this week from Family Fresh Meals is Easy Crockpot Chili. So come on y'all, let's eat!

Cheeseburger Soup at What's for Supper Sunday #48

Cheeseburger Soup

It finally feels like fall here in our neck of the woods. We went from hot, humid summer like days straight to chilly fall days. We thought we were not going to get hit with much effect from Hurricane Michael but on Thursday evening it came through our area like a wrecking ball. The winds were crazy and we lost power. We were extremely lucky to only have our power out for about 24 hours but there are still quite a bunch of people still without. We had flooding and a bunch of roads in our area to get washed away. But we are super blessed and we pray for all of those who lost much more in Florida. So we are craving some comfort foods and this weeks meal plan has a few comfort food favorites.

Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes are the perfect comfort food. From holiday meals to a normal weeknight meal, it is a huge family favorite. 

I have a little confession to make with you, I am obsessed with mashed potatoes. I mean like seriously, I could eat them every day obsessed. 

Our family has always been super close. We get together for almost all the holidays. Our parents house used to be the central hub for us all to get together. 

Now that our parents are gone we haven't stopped getting together. Honestly, I think we do it just a little more now than we did. It just seems more important to do now more than ever. 

Now that it is just us three sisters we trade off hosting the holidays as much as we can.  Our youngest sister recently moved to another state so now my older sister and I will take turns until we can visit with her. 

With holiday meals, we go big or we go home. We have our must make dishes that have to be included. And of course mashed potatoes is one of those sides that is a must. 

But with all the cooking, it can be one more pot on the stove and more dishes to clean up. I don't know about you but doing the dishes is one chore I dread. It was time to come up with a crock pot version to free up some space and make it super easy. 

My dad's recipe for mashed potatoes is a pretty easy and simple  recipe so I based this recipe off of that one. These mashed potatoes came out so flavorful. Slow cooked in chicken broth infuses so much flavor that you just don't get with cooking them on the stove. I don't know if I will ever make them another way now. Plus, you can keep these on warm until its time to dig in. 

These Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes are perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, a family Sunday dinner, or any weeknight meal. Hope these grace your table sometime soon.
