I took off to work. By the time I got home the cool front had moved through and the rain had started. So I decided that a good stew fit the weather. I pulled the roast out of the crockpot and placed on a platter to cool. Mean while I placed one of my quart bags of the mixture I made this summer with the stewed tomatoes, onions, green peppers, and okra. I just cut the plastic bag away, and placed the frozen mixture in the broth from the roast, turn the crockpot on high. I came back about a half hr later, flipped the half thawed mixture over in the crockpot and started to shred my roast. After that was done i threw it back in the crockpot.
When ever I open a large can of tomato juice if I have leftovers I freeze them in a ice cube tray for later use. well today i used about 8 of those tomato cubes. I tossed them in the crockpot, I used a small can of tomato sauce as well.
Then I added 4 cans of mixed veggies that I get from Walmart. I buy the ones that does not include potatoes, just to cut down the carb level some. I also added a can of rotel. Sometimes I will use the frozen mixed vegetables, its just which ever I have on hand at the time.
Then I sat back down on the couch and enjoyed some TV. Yes, today I'm having a hard time getting motivated to do much, even though I know I have company coming this Friday and badly need to clean the house up some.
After a good hour later the crockpot had heated everything up good, and we enjoyed supper.
This provided us with plenty of leftovers also for school lunches for my daughter and I.
The photo above was took after we all ate supper, so as you can see there is plenty of leftovers.
