Cooking Thursday

I don't know about you, but I cook differently when it starts getting cooler.  This is a recipe I came across that's perfect for cooler weather.  It's got a lot going for it - it's easy to make and you get a whole meal in the crockpot. Plus - the roast is melt in your mouth tender!

Slow Cooker Coca Cola Pot Roast

1 beef roast of choice (use the size roast and the amount of vegetables you need to feed your family)

1 can Cream of Mushroom soup

1 package dry onion soup mix

1 (12 oz) can Coke
Red potatoes, halved

baby carrots

Place roast in crock pot and top with dry onion soup.

Mix cream of mushroom soup and coke and pour over roast.
Place vegetables around roast.

Cook on low for about 10 hours.  (The longer you cook it, the more tender it gets)

Enjoy!

Wordless Wednesday

 

Changing every day!

We try to have Alaina overnight every couple of weeks, and it's amazing what a difference a few weeks can make. She spent the night here on the weekend and we couldn't get over how much she's talking. She's also figured out how to charm Grandpa (And I'm afraid me too) She looks at him and says "More, please"? It's awfully hard to say no... She was asking for more of this show called Bubble Guppies. She loves it and we just tolerate it because of her.    :)
Here's what else she's doing:

I got this mini quad from a friends garage sale.  She likes it, but isn't too sure about pushing the go button herself, so Grandpa walks alongside and does it.

 

This is the tricycle our kids used. She was working on peddling...

 

And she figured it out!

 

All kids seem to like to go up the slide, instead of the ladder!

 

Having fun in the fort with Grandpa, peeking at Grandma.

It's such a joy to spend time with her!
