THE CROCK POT
The crock pot and I have become good buddies. It is an absolute Godsend on those crazy days when we have activities until 7:00 PM. I love that I can just throw all kinds of goodies in it in the morning, and an edible and delicious meal appears in the evening. It's like magic! Ta-Da! Love, love, love it! And, now we have the Crock Pot Girls on Facebook (or www.crockpotgirls.com), so I am getting all kinds of new and great recipes. I tried this one (Beef Stroganoff with Cream Cheese) last week. It is not exactly low fat/low calorie, but I did use reduced-fat cream cheese. Everyone loved it (and that includes the kids, which is huge). I even bought myself a new crock pot last week. I had been using one that Mark bought before he met me, so it was at least 17 years old. It works fine, and I am keeping it on hand, just in case I need it for a chili cook-off or some other event.
DOWNY WRINKLE RELEASER
This stuff saves my bacon on a daily basis. If you hate ironing and haven't tried this, I am highly encouraging you to do so. It may be terrible for the environment or cause animals to have two headed babies, but I don't care. I am only concerned about my children getting out the door looking only slightly disheveled each morning. Seriously, though, I do love this stuff. I often use it as I am taking clothes out of the dryer, especially uniform bottoms. It keeps me from having to break out the ironing board. I am a terrible housewife.
WASABI AND SOY SAUCE ALMONDS
These are my newest go-to snack. I ♥ them. A lot. Thank you to my good friend, Jody, for introducing them to me. Tasty and good for you...the perfect treat! Of course, if you don't like a little zing on the taste buds, then you won't like these. Give 'em a try and see. I think I should get paid for this free advertising.
Hafa Adai and Happy Monday!
Love crockpot meals as well! I will definitely try the recipe you posted.
