It has been too long since my last post! And I must apologize that it is another crock-pot recipe... but I have been loving two things these days: crock-pot meals, and soups. They're cheap, easy, and don't involve a lot of energy.
I am 28 weeks pregnant on Thursday. I am loving this stage, but am finding my energy gets zapped unexpectedly. This recipe I tried so I could save my energy for errands and house work today. I wasn't sure how I would like it, as I thought maybe the flavours would be too strong... but I'm thrilled with the results!

Dinner is served!
I served this with rice, and oven roasted carrots! (Toss chopped carrots in olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder and any other desired herbs/spices. Place in a baking dish. Cook in oven at 400 for 25-40 minutes, or until tender)
I hope your school year has started strong, and you are enjoying your class!
As always, I miss you and can't wait to see you! Hopefully we can arrange something before the baby comes!
Love,
