Today was busy!


Well today was interesting I had quite the day. First we woke up late and I got my kids up and got them dressed. I actually was able to do Sammy's hair which if you knew my daughter you would realize what an adventure brushing her hair is. She let me brush her hair and braid it for once. I was so excited.
Then I started the breadmaker with a whole wheat loaf, I made jell-o and put it on a flat pan so the kids and I could make jell-o cut outs later on.

Sammy's home therapist came in today to go over some things we had planned and to also find out what assistance I could use at home to work with her some more. That lasted an hour or so. Then I went straight into the kitchen after I laid Jamie down for a nap.

I started making my world famous self created crockpot roast..I made the recipe myself it was so good. I will give you the recipe if you promise not to tell anyone lol.

Ok I take any kind of roast you wanna make...I spice it to taste and lock in the flavor by frying all the sides just enough to brown it.
I open a can of tomato soup, white wine, red wine vinegar and soy sauce..I mix it all together and add some more spices. I cut up an onion into small bits and throw it in as well and mix it all up so you get a nice amount of sauce.
I peel potatos and cut them into quarters. I place the roast in the bottom of the crockpot and put the potatos all around then I pour my mixture on top and turn it on for about 6hrs on high. And voila its done.

My husband swears by it and he's a picky eater its always gotta be tender and with lots of flavor. Try it and let me know what you think.

Also I love my breadmaker its my favorite appliance in the house..I love the smell of fresh bread baking. And the nice thing about it is that I can turn it on and leave it till its done and I have time to spend with my kids and get cleaning done when need be.

So that is what I did today. Enjoy
