Dinner Tonight

Tonight we are having some down home cooking. One of my favorite things to do is throw some dinner in a crock pot and come home in the evening to the smells of home cooking. It is a welcoming thing to open the front door and have a whiff of something tasty just waiting for us. And now that the tomatoes in our garden are getting ripe, this meal is truly the taste of home for me.

This is heart warming dish that will bring back the memories of home. As we approach the 4th of July weekend- we want to pause and be thankful that we live in America as we celebrate the freedoms we are blessed with. We also want to thank those who diligently serve our country each day!

GOD BLESS AMERICA
