I have a happy heart today

Normally (most of the time), my heart is happy.  I am so incredibly incredibly fortunate to have the life I enjoy. 

But today its just a tiny bit better because I just dropped Cris off at the airport to go visit his brother.  I am so glad to see them getting along again and want them to always have a great relationship.  But when they get ticked off at each other, it's only my place to stay neutral and listen to each side and try to get them to mend the argument. 

So I'm excited for all of the fun that they have planned while he's there and glad that they are getting some bonding time together.  And I'm slightly jealous that I don't get to enjoy some of that fun with them.  Oh well....can't help being a mother :-)

I've also got some recipe updates for you.  My crockpot as worked overtime this week cranking out some delish food.

Here's a finished shot of the meatloaf.  I would make a few changes such as adding more spices and steak sauce to the meat and using less of the liquid the recipe stated.  But we still had a delicious dinner that night and the meat loaf made good leftovers for lunch.

Last night we had pork butt roast cooking all day in root beer.  No spices or anything else, just 2 cans of root beer.

When it was done you just shred it up and mix it with BBQ sauce.

 

 

Get all the ingredients to make some power slaw

 

And now you plop it all down on an onion roll.......you've got 'yerself a meal!

 

I love it when things turn out good.  I always feel like such a cooking genius.
