So, I bought one of these…

because the one I had like this got left in Dallas last weekend…
and I use it twice a day to make Izzy’s protein shakes.

Well, this morning the new one started smoking, so I had to go to Target and buy this…
(notice I said I had to go to Target…) so, let’s hope the new one lasts more than two days.

I actually bought another one at Walmart late Sunday night because Target was closed and it died the first time I used it.

I sure hope this new Kitchen Aid Immersion blender does the job! If not I’m ordering another like the one in Dallas so I have a spare. (Matt hates it because it is loud…)

It’s Thursday, Sandra is the host of slow cooker thursday. There are lots of delicious recipes for the crock pot to be had and they sure do save time. I love to have dinner cooking while I am busy with my day. And having the house filled with the smell of dinner is also a plus.

Herb roasted chicken w/veggies…

chicken (I use frozen breasts or tenders)
quarters or baby potatoes
1 sweet onion sliced or chopped
bag of baby carrots
butter
rosemary
kosher salt

Place ingredients in crockpot, put pats of butter on top, sprinkle with rosemary and kosher salt. Cook on high for 4-6 hours or low 8. Yummy and smells so good.

The physical therapist put Izzy on the tricycle today. She helped push the pedals and they said she enjoyed riding. They took pictures and when (if) they email them to me I’ll post them.

1 pound lean ground beef
1/3 c. bbq sauce (I use honey bbq)
kosher salt & pepper
sliced sweet onions
shredded cheddar cheese
buns
extra bbq

mix well, make into patties, they will be very moist. place in pan, lay onion sliced rings and press into patties, turn when brown gently, turn again when onions have carmelized, pour bbq sauce on top of each, and then sprinkle cheese and cover. Serve on bun.
