7:25am

Got the crock pots going this morning.

In the one pot is the chicken broth I made last week.

I added in some sliced sausage, a couple cans of

potato soup, a can of petite diced tomatoes.

celery and onions.  There is some barely

cooking in a pot on the stove.  Once done I'll

add in the barely and some leftover taco seasoned chicken

to make my version of Chicken & Sausage Gumbo. 

In the second crock pot is a couple packages of

boneless pork ribs with a bottle of

bourban and brown sugar bbq sauce.

Other meals this week will include-

-sausage biscuits and gravy,

-spaghetti with toasted garlic sweet italian bread,

-buffalo ranch chicken mac with crushed potato chips on top

with a side of bread and butter, 

-pork chops with french fries and a salad.

Plus I have two dessert cakes to make today.

I decided to hold of on making the cakes til today

due to a busy weekend.

Plus I have some laundry to finish up and put away

and between rain showers that are expected this week,

I hope to get the gutter garden done sometime soon.

8:50am

Got the gumbo soup done.

I ended up with three large butter bowls

and a cool whip bowl full,

about 3.5 meals worth.

Some will be going into the freezer.

I dumped a bag of potatoes that I dehydrated

about a year ago into a pot of water to rehydrate them.

I am now boiling them and then will drain them

will let them cool in the fridge so I

can fry them up to have with the bbq pork tonight.

If you find potatoes at a good sale price

stock up and dehydrate them.

When dehydrated and stored properly

they can last 5-10 years!!
