SHREDDED BEEF AND BACON

I have been busy, busy lately! I’ve got a lot of ideas in the works and on my brain all of the time. Fun things are going to be coming to my blog this holiday season. I’ll just tease you with that, because I can’t say anymore. 

Even though I wasn’t able to start school this semester as I had hoped, I’m still staying very busy between work and my blogging ideas. Not starting school has also given me a lot more time to think about what it is I want to do with my life. Maybe a little too much time to be honest. Problems of an over-thinker.

It is all good, though. For me it isn’t a matter of finding something I want to do, but rather deciding which to pursue first. There is always something new that I want to learn. Like right now? Right now I just want to start selling coconut butter or muffins (or anything) at the Farmer’s Market I shop at. Doesn’t that sound fun? I tell people my idea of fun, and they look at me a little funny. I bet you will get it, though.

I used to shy away from this entrepreneur side of me out of fear of not being perfect, but lately I am all about embracing it. Enough about me, though.

You want to hear about the easiest dinner there is. All you need is a beef roast, bacon, herbs, salt and pepper and a slow cooker. Lay your bacon at the bottom of the slow cooker, top it with the beef roast then salt and herbs, and cook it on low for 6-8 hours. Done. That’s it!

And while your beef and bacon cooks all day, making your house smell fantastic, you canmow rake the lawn or go for a hike. Or bake some apple cider donuts. I will find any excuse to link back to those apple cider donuts. Really just do what ever you want, and then enjoy beef and bacon for dinner! To make a complete meal, serve it with sage roasted butternut squash puree or your favorite side dish.
