Soup.

Today was DGD’s saint day, which she’d no clue was a day worthy of gifts until recently, lol.
We spent the day together and then she went back to school this evening.

In her honor made meatballs and spaghetti, a green salad and a pear tart.

1 large meatloaf in the fridge, 3 small ones in the freezer. honey baked ham leftovers from the freezer have been prepped for eating (slice pieces), dibs and dabs and ham bones are at the ready for me to prep veg/soak split peas and make soup Tuesday. I haven't batch cooked in a long time-it takes me back to when dh and were both commuting to work and the kids were little. I used to pick a different dish every weekend to batch cook so we had easy to pull, defrost and heat meals during the work week (I had co-workers who could NOT fathom anyone cooking a turkey any other day of the year other than thanksgiving-it was in regular rotation at our house b/c it was so freaking easy and economical).

I love the convenience of the crockpot but often find the food bland. I don’t eat beef but would take any suggestions for non beef meals you make in your crockpot. Thanks!

Do you eat pork? This recipe is a gem (flexible and turns out great every time!): https://food52.com/recipes/39733-andy-ward-jenny-rosenstrach-s-pork-shoulder-ragu

PW's pulled pork recipe: https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a11385/spicy-dr-pepper-shredded-pork/
I use Virgil's root beer or apple cider and sub 1 t. or less of Sriracha for the chipotles. Another recipe that works like a charm every time!

Both recipes can also be adjusted for chicken thighs.
