Hello there, Slow Cookerers!!

🥂 🥂 🥂 🥂

Today is the 21st anniversary of the *second* time I married Adam.

:-)

The first time was in highschool, in our senior year economics class. Mr. Phillips married us for a class project on budgeting and household management and we've been together ever since!!

:-)

THANK YOU MR. PHILLIPS!!

🥂 🥂 🥂 🥂

Okay. Back 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 weekend and stay safe and try to have a bit of fun.

For our anniversary tonight we are going to have pizza, beer, and go for a walk!

;-)

Maybe next year we can actually go out to dinner! lol!

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