I had a doctor's appointment on Monday so I took the day off of work. It was a nice treat to come back home after the appointment and not have to rush off to work. I took a nap, did two loads laundry, emptied trash cans and vacuumed the floors. We also spent a little time looking over our budget. We have some financial goals to save for so looking over the details occasionally is good!
I made a BBQ beef brisket in the crockpot the other day and this morning I decided we should probably use the last little bit up. I did a little asking on facebook and a little searching on Pinterest and decided to make a "Crockpot Brisket Stew". My bi-weekly grocery shopping trip is coming up this week so I'm running low on a few items. The stew definitely turned into "what I had on hand" stew. I used brisket, carrots, leftover green beans, leftover rice, onion, canned diced tomatoes and some spices and seasonings. Hopefully it will be delicious!
I made a batch of corn muffins to go along with the stew. I always find it fun to be creative and make meals with what I have on hand.
Between sets, I was able to get this shot of "Jehu vam Bassett" who played the role of the main family's hound dog. He was fun to watch as he reminds us so much of our own Bassett-mix!
I picked these pretty flowers while walking Willie this morning. A simple pretty little touch in a vase.
Hope you all have a good week!

I find those what I have on hand stews and soups to be some of the better ones I make. Funny how a little of this and that turns into something yummy!
Date night are always nice but a free date night is even better. Glad you had a good time.
