Keeping up

I told myself about a month ago that I'd update this blog regularly. That's been difficult. I guess I should try harder anyway. With 3 growing kids, there's always something new and something exciting (sometimes just barely minimally exciting).

Well, the temperature has dropped and I can't say that I am liking it but it makes me happy that the season calls for more frequent use of my lovely crockpot. I didn't use it much during the summer because the food that comes out of the crockpot just isn't so appealing in heat.

So right now, my crockpot is on and cooking Hoppin' John - a stew like dish with black eye peas, sausages, chard, tomatoes etc. It took me all of 5 minutes to through everything in in the morning and we'll have something warm and hopefully wonderful at night.

Recipe is from one of my favorite website: crockpot365
