I was stuck in the house for most of last week due to snow and ice. So I had time to do a little cooking!
One night, while the family was having leftovers, I felt like having a big salad. Romaine lettuce, roma tomatoes, celery, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, tuna, and french salad dressing. Yum!
I usually cook our roasts in the slow cooker. Since it was so cold out, I cooked it for a couple of hours in the oven. It came out perfect. My husband made the mashed potatoes! He was bored stuck in the house. lol
We all love lots of butter on our mashed potatoes. My daughter made me laugh when she made this mashed potatoes tower. She sealed the butter in so it would melt. lol Hey, it worked! lol
I made breakfast for supper one night. We had turkey bacon, fried potatoes, eggs from our chickens, toast, and orange juice. Always a family favorite.
Since I was snowed in, I had time to try a new recipe. Pizza Pasta Skillet Dinner. It was a hit with my family! In fact, we sat around the table talking about what we could do to make it better with different variations. Look for the recipe coming soon!
How do you know that I am a real person that cooks all this food myself in my kitchen? You can tell by the tomato splatters on my stove! lol That’s real life! lol

Meal Planning is so essential to saving time and eating healthy. I’m definitely a slow cooker girl myself, especially in the winter! Great weekly plan!
