I made a huge full crockpot of stew last night… it cooked all night and we had it for Sunday lunch.  I sauteed a big sirloin steak along with a roughly chopped onion in some olive oil… meanwhile I started loading the crock pot up with lots of good stuff like a big can of diced tomatoes, a can of mild rotel, two cans of beef broth, a package of baby carrots, 5-6 chopped potatoes, frozen green beans, frozen corn, frozen peas, salt & pepper, a package of williams chili seasoning… then I put in the onion and steak and pushed it under the juice… I let it cook on high all night and this morning the steak was easily seperated with a fork.  It was really delicious.  Thankfully, there is enough left for a couple more meals. 

We had small red beans for dinner Sat. night and had leftovers, and I made turkey chili with some leftover beans for lunch Saturday that was very healthy!

Monday we’ll have the soup again…

Tuesday I’m making homemade pizzas.

Wednesday we’ll have fat free kosher hot dogs with turkey chili and baked chips.

Thursday Matt and I are attending a teacher/leader appreciation dinner at one of our favorite restaurants! Yay! no cooking.

I’m leaving friday open… who knows, something exciting could come up???? ya’ right :)

    I absolute love the new look of the Blog…great Job!

    Also, Stew in the Crockpot? Yum! I wish my family was more into this because its hard to just cook a good stew for just one serving. When I do this, I usually have lots of leftovers….

    I’m finding it kind of strange cooking for just 3 people left at home now. If I make a nice big meal, we have lots of leftovers, but thankfully, Kris and I really enjoy leftovers as long as I alternate something else with them! Zach pretty much doesn’t like most of the healthy stuff I make, but he eats it grudgingly, haha! Last night we had pizza because he’s been begging for a while! ;)
