Slow Cooker Shrimp And Corn Chowder

Slow Cooker Cajun Corn and Shrimp Chowder So two weekends ago the weather was bitter cold, icy and snowy forcing us inside on the treadmill for a 7.5 mile long run. This weekend was a huge flip... so beautiful outside and although part of our 9 mile training run was tough it was just so good to be soaking up some sunshine. After brunch with my parents (you know, had to eat back all those calories I had burned!) we pretty well spent the rest of the day outside. We tried to just enjoy every last minute of warmth and no jackets that we could because this week we are back on a roller coaster of temperatures.

Slow Cooker Cajun Corn and Shrimp Chowder While I love having the break from the cold since it certainly helps improve my mood, I'm not loving the sniffly noses and scratchy throats. Just when we get adjusted everything goes and flips around on us.
