A Recipe To Make Any Snow Day Spectacular

In Minnesota, we have had our fair share of frigid temperatures already this winter! Even though we have plenty of snow on the ground, I know that there are many other places that have been bombarded with snow lately as well! Can I just say SNOW DAY?!?!

Let’s be honest. Snow days are some of the best of days. There is an excitement in the air the night before, wondering, just wondering, if your school’s name will run along the ticker at the bottom of the tv. After the anticipation is confirmed, then comes the dreaming about how to make it the best snow day ever!

When Wayfair had asked me what would make a spectacular snow day, I couldn’t help but think of my go-to, cold temperature, snow day recipe: a big ole pot of chicken corn chowder soup!

My husband works with youth and every Monday, we cook dinner for them. Dinner for about 15 kids means a whole lot of food (just think teenage boys). Not that they are picky eaters, but I like to make meals that they may not always eat.

This past week I made a spectacular snow day recipe – my go-to chicken corn chowder recipe. I was not able to make the youth group meeting, but I was thinking there would be plenty left over since I made a large crockpot full. I should have known better. When my husband came home, the soup was completely gone, including the rolls and dessert. Enough said, right?

If you are looking for something to do on a snowy day, look no further than this recipe! Pair it with rolls with garlic butter, and you will have yourself a hearty meal that will be sure to satisfy any appetite!
