The Best Cure for a Rainy Day...

So our beautiful spring weather got swept away the last 2 days.:( But around 5:00pm, I was QUITE ok with it, knowing that I was going home to my slow cooker that had been simmering allllll day on this: Chicken Tortilla Soup...isn't it pretty??
Well, I actually took a little help from my beloved Trader Joe's and added both the roasted corn and fire roasted peppers & onions....so I think I ended up with a Chicken FAJITA Tortilla Soup;)

I was afraid it was going to be a little TOO much in the ICK department, adding the entire can of enchilada sauce...but let me tell ya: I let out a LOUD "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM" after my very first bite! It was sooooooooooooooo good! I just kept saying "I can't believe how good this is!!!" Absolutely warm, spicy & perfect after the dreary, rainy day that was today. And topped with a little cheese, sour cream and a few tortilla chips knocked this outta the park! Make. This. Tonight! (even if it's sunny:)

And Trader Joe's is also to blame for my dessert choice of the evening, as I was seduced by their damn newsletter announcing the arrival of THIS to the store...
Oooey. Gooey. Sweet. Buttery. Cinnamon. Sugar = YES, PLEASE!!!!! Just LOOK at that baby:

They did NOT mention the raisins in the newsletter, but I'll forgive the oversight:) It was wonderful, non the less...especially the crust...

This is practically BEGGING me to make French Toast on a Sunday morning! Yum!

I hear the sun is suppose to make it's grand return tomorrow. Finger's crossed "they" are correct! Enjoy your night:)
