Most often, the worst that happens is that we lose power for a few hours and we get a few big branches down in the yard, but even then, having a few supplies nearby would be really handy and comforting too..
I have a medium pot, so this all fits in quite nicely.If you have a big crock pot, add more beans or tomatoes.
Here’s how it looks:.At this point, depending on how much extra time I have and how happy the baby is, I might add a dash of this and that out of the cupboard or the fridge, but usually I don’t.(Ideas: Oregano, Basil, Soy sauce, Italian seasoning, Cajun seasoning, Worchestershire sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, grated carrots, chopped spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, etc.)
I love this recipe because it’s totally do-able while holding a baby and then, voila, I’ve made 4 meals worth of food!It makes me feel competent as a homekeeper for sure.
So, you can stir it at this point or not.
Put the lid on and let it cook on low all day, or at least 5-6 hours.We were living the dream!.
I think I just mostly didn’t do a very good job of documenting all the things that made the house feel special and personal and like it was our home for real.So I set out to do a bit better job of that this year, and I decided to let you in on it!.
It’ll be mostly pictures for this one!.I really just walked around the house for five minutes and snapped some pictures of things I like that make me happy and that didn’t make it to the blog..
