Starting up again with some meal planning… I’m aiming to make more well-rounded meals and inspire my kids to ask for more exciting foods. So, I’m participating in the plan it ~Don’t Panic challenge. Be sure to visit her for some great ideas on making you own meal plans!

Today we’re also going to make some more applesauce in the slow cooker from the apples we picked earlier in the month. Don’t you love Mighty Man’s expression? He was the most efficient apple picker and would not rest until the bag was overflowing!
Our dinner plans for the week…
Monday: Emeril’s Turkey and Pinto Bean Chili (Food Everyday magazine, Sept. 2011)

Yay! Putting the slow cooker to work! We’re having moose burgers for dinner! I think maybe some potato soup is called for too?
Love potato soup!
I ended up making rosemary red potatoes. Moose burgers were a little gamey
first time that’s happened
Need to put my crockpot to work today!
