Simple Warm & Cozy Meal Ideas for Winter

Thank you Idahoan® Steakhouse® Soups for sponsoring this post. Enjoy the flavorful, slow-cooked taste of restaurant-quality soup at home, in minutes.

After taking my boys to soccer practice, buying new shoes for my 4-year-old (because his feet are growing like a weed ?), and taking a few conference calls…cooking a dinner that takes a ton of time is the LAST thing on my mind!

It makes me feel a little guilty, especially during these winter months when my ‘go-to’ meal is usually cold cereal. I know that’s sad, but unfortunately, it’s true! When I was younger and the temperatures would drop below freezing, my mom always made sure that we had a good, hot meal! She would spend hours in the kitchen, cooking the perfect recipe…and from scratch, of course! She always wanted to make sure that we stayed warm and cozy!

I love my mom, and I admire her for that…but I just don’t have that kind of time! Lol! Sometimes she gives me a little grief about it, but I just call it tough love lol! That’s why I’m so glad that I came across these Idahoan Steakhouse® Soups! Idahoan Steakhouse® Soups uses quality ingredients such as real Idaho® potatoes, flavorful seasonings, and rich cheeses! Most quick and easy soups are watery, tasteless, and unpleasant, but Idahoan Steakhouse® Soups are different. All you have to do is add water and you have a creamy, flavorful, & delicious soup in minutes!

Idahoan Steakhouse® Soups have made it easy to put a warm, restaurant-quality meal on the table in minutes! My favorite Idahoan Steakhouse® Soup is the Creamy Potato flavor! It’s so rich and creamy! And to make this soup an even more amazing meal, I decided to pair it with this tasty Rosemary Honey Garlic Toast! Anytime I eat a hearty soup, I must have some sort of garlic toast! Instead of preparing the usual garlic toast, I decided to get creative and make this Rosemary Honey Garlic Toast instead!

This Rosemary Honey Garlic Toast was very easy to make and was ready in 5 minutes! I used fresh French Bread and cut it into pieces. Then I melted some butter, and added a little honey, garlic powder, and fresh rosemary. I added to mixture, evenly, to each piece of bread and let it bake for about 3-5 minutes! When baking, keep a close eye on the bread to make sure that it doesn’t overcook and reaches your desired brownness.
