Crockpotting not Crack potting- at least not yet

I am currently spending valuable online time looking for new crockpot recipes. I have found we are back to having Sunday Dinner if I can utilize my crockpot. Otherwise we don’t.
We
Just
Don’t.
I have to admit it- I’m just not committed to making it
the spectacular celebration meal that it should be without the crockpot.
Truth be told- I haven’t been altogether committed to making it anything close to spectacular. In the not so distant past it has been leftovers or a reinvention of leftovers.
Sigh.

Boring.
And we’ve been eating at the kitchen table instead of the dining table (what ever happened to that Sunday tradition).
Our Sundays are
so squished between morning church services and evening church ministries. And with me having the job of church youth director- it’s a work day to boot.
So we relish the quiet and simplicity of Sunday afternoons.
And I love me
my Nazarene Nap.
So what’s a gal to do?
Crockpot it.
The house smells so
yummilicious when we get home from church.
This has been my first step.
I then took another step by setting out the stack of plates etc. for dinner on the table before leaving for church.

Now I am about ready to embark on my next step.
---- Having the dining table cleared off and moving the stack-o-plates to that table.
I know myself and if I had tried to do this all at once I would have
fallen flat on my face, taken the rest from the Sabbath and not wanted to do it ever again.
Instead- taking small steps has my heart in step with continuing to make our Sunday’s special without making it stressful for the momma.

I love it. You found a way to do everything and take your Sunday nap!!! Good for you. Aren't crockpots a gift from God?? LMSO

Tomorrow we are celebrating Matthew's bday and I am putting the meatballs in the crockpot!!! That way I won't be stressing about it after a long day. YIPEE!

God's Blessings,
