How much time did you spend in the kitchen during the holidays? I know that I spent way too much time in the kitchen eating, however, I didn’t spend a lot of time in there cooking thanks to the Crock Pot.
The weekend before my son returned to college I wanted to make sure that he left with a full belly and this Slow Cooked Shrimp Bisque really fit the bill.
I found several recipes online and with this one I made a few changes and it was delicious!!!
