    The first blizzard in several years is supposed to hit my area late tonight. We've lucked out the past several years with no major snowstorms and warmer than normal temperatures (it was 76 in the middle of February, in Pennsylvania!), but we are going to pay for it now.

    Normal people do Spring cleaning, I decided that since my daughter will be off of school, I'm going to snowstorm clean. That might mean I'm taking the rest of the week off, but I have a corned beef in the slow cooker right now I would like to share before St. Patrick's Day.  While I should be thinking about sharing Springtime recipes, I'm suck in comfort food mode with soups, slow cooker recipes, and mashed potatoes.

    I first shared these Cream Cheese and Parsley Mashed Potatoes that I adapted from The Pioneer Woman over two years ago, but the recipe was buried in a post that no longer makes sense, with me talking about a plan I had that I never went forward with. These updated photos are MUCH better, anyway.

    Cream cheese makes these mashed potatoes slightly tangy and ultra creamy. They pair well with any meat I can think of. A few weeks ago I made them to go with the Slow Cooker Lemon Garlic Chicken I shared last week. They would be phenomenal with steak. Or eat a big bowl all by yourself while watching TV, I won't judge.
