Hi, guys! Its been a while since I posted a recipe and I thought this one would be perfect for this chilly weather. It's a potato soup with a difference; It's hearty, flavorful, and positively loaded!

The potato soup base is chunky and creamy and full of flavor from garlic and chicken broth, chives, sour cream, bacon, and two kinds of cheese, then topped with everything you love about baked potatoes!

It's also super-easy to make in the Instant Pot, but I'll also give directions for the Slow Cooker for those who haven't gone the pressure cooker route yet. Plus, keep reading for the chance to win a Better Than Bouillon Prize Pack and one of 9 $50 Visa Gift Cards!

Fall is in full swing here, so it's time to get cozy! I've got 3 fabulous casual outfits that I put together for you and they're all made of sustainable hemp! There are a lot of misconceptions about hemp and clothing made of hemp. Generally, people think of rough linen-like fabrics when they think of hemp, but hemp is incredibly versatile and I have lots of pieces in different weights and finishes that will keep you stylish and comfortable all through the season. Plus, I have a 15% discount code just for my readers!
