Our First Garden Pick

When the girls and I went out to check on the garden the other day we saw a large zucchini!  Now there are several zucchini and yellow squash and tomatoes growing, just not any that are large enough to pick. 

 

 

This one was!  Here is a picture of it still on the vine!

 

 

We picked the zucchini on Tuesday and cooked it for supper!  It was really good.  The girls really liked the fact that they helped to plant and grow what we were eating!

Love My Crockpot!

As a busy mom, I like to cut as much unnecessary time out of my schedule as possible. I love saving time slaving over the stove by cooking in the crockpot! In the almost seven years I have been married I think I have been through 4 crockpots. Not sure that is normal, but it shows that I use it a lot! So this year for Mother's Day I asked for a new crockpot. This is my Mother's Day present



I absolutely LOVE this one! I got it on Sunday, of course, and have cooked in it everyday. I love finding new recipes online for the crockpot. My favorite place to find great recipes is on CafeMoms, Crockpot Moms group.

I have all of my suppers planned out for the rest of the week, and they are all crockpot recipes! I LOVE my CROCKPOT!!!
