    Fresh brussels sprouts are the only way to go. You are right, the frozen ones are mushy. I love them. They are also very delicious raw and shaved onto a salad. I love it with dried cranberries, butter lettuce, walnuts, the shaved sprouts and blue cheese dressing.

    I just got diagnosed with cancer yesterday afternoon. I would love if you would make a budget friendly freezer meal video. I want to make up a bunch of freezer meals for my husband to be able to pop in the oven, slow cooker or Instant Pot before I start treatment so even if I don’t feel like eating him and my son have a hearty, home cooked momma meal on the table every night even if I don’t have the energy/strength to cook. I’m going to be leaning on them a lot, I’m sure and I want everything as easy as possible for them because this doesn’t just affect me, it affects all of us as a family. It’s going to be hard on everyone and I want to be able to support them as much as they support me. My heart is just crushed right now, knowing what’s ahead. I watched my mom battle the same battle I’m facing and unfortunately she lost her battle. I don’t want my son to go through that, I’m trying to shield him as much as possible if that makes sense. He just turned 15 a week and a half ago and he’s going to have to be a little man now. I hate he’s losing his childhood like I did.

They don’t fail you ever so you put your energy in loving them and they love you back even in the worst times in life. They carry you when don’t feel like you can carry yourself.

      I talked to the oncologist today and prognosis with treatment is really optimistic. 95% survival rate. It’s just going to be a process. I put my faith in God to guide me, my family and my medical staff through this. He never fails and we will get through this through His grace. When I get stressed Joshua 1:9 runs through my head and it brings me peace. I think after this all over I’m getting a small little tattoo simply saying Joshua 1:9 to remind me of what I overcame and how God was always by my side, comforting me, keeping me strong and never letting me walk this walk alone.

    Hey Abby, have you tried the Ragu Simply sauces? There is no added sugar and it's made only with Olive oil. Here in KY it's less than $2 if you would like to try it. Much cheaper than Rao's and in my opinion it tastes better. Ragu Simply has traditional sauce and chunky garden vegetable. Thank you for sharing these meals. Have a wonderful Sunday!

    You just had to know that the Mississippi roast was going to make it on the list! Absolutely love this recipe! I have tried various small changes to get variety. For instance using pork roast versus beef roast versus chicken; substituting an Italian seasoning packet, a brown gravy packet In place of the au jus. And yes I have tried different types of peppers as you show here. I have also used chicken vegetable or beef broth in place of water. And I have included fresh produce - small diced potatoes onions and carrots - in the crock pot along the roast. Literally the perfect one pot meal! I also add anywhere from a half a cup to a cup of flavored cream cheese, or sometimes a half cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt with the half cup of seasoned cream cheese. Makes an insanely creamy gravy!!!
