I’ve signed up for a 31 day writing challenge. Everyday in October, I am posting a new slow cooker recipe, a link to a previous posted slow cooker recipe, or a link to a recipe from another blog.
On Friday, Wee One and I went to a bonfire. Since we were going to be eating yummy food there, I planned to have a light dinner so we were NOT too full. So I chose to make tomato soup and grilled cheese. Yum!
The Wee One and I had fun at the bonfire. I made some Boo Mix to share. It was a big hit with everyone who tried it.
The adults sat with the adults and chit chatted. The kids ran around caring people and going on hay rides. I did go on one of the hay rides and screamed during the whole ride even though it wasn’t really that scary.
Now onto the recipe:
