Loaded Potato Soup

This is a crock- pot soup. I found the recipe in Southern Living years ago and have made it tons of times. Garnish with some shredded cheese and crumbled bacon and you can't go wrong!

4 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch thick slices

1 small onion, chopped

2 14oz cans chicken broth

Butterscotch Oatmeal Bars

This recipe came from Southern Plate. It was originally posted as M&M Oatmeal Bars. This fall it was posted with a "fall" twist. Butterscotch and cinnamon. They are yummy and use baking mix so they are super fast to make.
