While Brian was gone on his road-trip, most of my dinners came from leftovers from crockpot meals that we had made during his previous homestand. I froze what we had left of both the Salsa Pork and the Sweet Apple BBQ Chicken along with shredded taco-seasoned chicken and had plenty of options for quick thaw and plate meals.
However, now that he is back home again, I pulled the crockpot out this morning and loaded it up with another portion of the overwhelming large pork butt we have in the freezer and covered it with a bottle of Bud Light (Platinum to be exact) to cook through the day.
Have I mentioned I loved the simplicity of the crockpot?
A family trip to the dog park…
An awesome yoga class where I was able to get into and stay in a head stand for a few seconds unassisted (HUGE progress!)…

And chores around the house, all while dinner was cooking away on its own. Love.
