Hello there, Slow Cookerers, and happy Friday!!

Okay. Let's get down to business.

Let's talk Meatloaf and Stuffed Peppers.

We're talking about them at the same time because they are basically the same thing -- and it's a super easy way to turn a pound or so of lean meat into a phenomenal dinner.

Unless you'd prefer to keep things vegetarian.

then you probably want to steer clear of the ground meat....

;-)

Here are a few of our favorite recipes --- what is awesome is that once you get the basic feel for the recipe(s) --- you really can put your own twist on things.

Want more veggies? Add them! Want a spicy touch? Add red chili flakes, or diced jalapeños!

Don't like ketchup? Use A-1 or Buffalo Wing Sauce!

Traditional Meatloaf

Stuffed Bell Peppers -- this is the version with meat

Vegetarian Stuffed Bell Peppers

can easily be made vegan, too!

If you have a favorite way to make meatloaf, let me know -- it seems as if each time I assemble one it's slightly different, which is what makes cooking fun!

I truly do look at the slow cooker as an easy-bake oven for grownups ---

have fun! play!

there are no rules --- it's only food. ;-)

please enjoy your day and try to have a bit of fun.

lots and lots of love --- consider yourself loved and hugged.

PS: I've been getting a few emails here and there about how expensive food is right now.

I know. :-(

The good thing, though, is that if you take the time to meal plan you will automatically save money because you aren't heading to the drive-through at the last minute.

If you need help with meal planning -- here you go:

thank you!!
