After that, I made a crock pot of green lentils and a meaty
ham bone, portioned that out and froze it.
Over the weekend, I took care of some big fat sweet potatoes
I ended up with. Trolling the web, I learned that all I needed to do was wash
them and toss them in the pot. They have enough moisture on their own so I
didn't add water. After a few hours, they were done. When they cooled, I took
each fat treat, cut it at its waist, and scooped or pushed out the pulp into
small containers. I now have a dozen "mashed sweets" ready to dress
in whatever way I want when I grab one.
Tonight, I've just finished putting together a crock pot of
pea soup with another meaty ham bone. I will smell its delicious aroma while I
am sleeping and in the morning, I'll divide it and label it.
I hope to do a few more things the next week or so: more
chili (I use ground turkey), a 3-bean meatless pot that I will divide and use
for sides, and more.
For me, especially at this time of my life, I love, love,
love a crock pot. One pot to wash - and lots of food in the freezer, on the
cheap. How great is that?

Sounds good.
Thanks, my friend, but they don't sound half as delish as your Blue Apron meals (lol). Still, considering I have to buy sale items and cook very cheap, I have fun meeting the challenge. Apparently Windows 10 lets you make some blogspot comments - I'm glad I'm one of them. Hugs.
