CoNgRaTuLaTiOnS! If you've made it to this blog post and are reading this you have made it to the end and have created your first, from scratch, batch of kombucha! That, or you are interested in making it to the end. Meaning you are not completely disgusted by the slimy growing organism in your closet! ;)

Happy Memorial Day all! I hope you are remembering those that have served and are serving while enjoying your long weekend. Hopefully you won't be like me have had to work all weekend long including today.

Sigh! However, at least I get time and a half! ;)

I have a pretty simple dish for you today. Just because it's now summer time doesn't mean that you have to put the crock-pots away. I actually think summer is another excuse to use them! Don't you want to be spending all day outside enjoying the weather while your slow cooker does all the work!?

I have been enjoying the outdoors and the different seasons now that I'm back in the midwest. I hope to be sharing some fun projects with you all that I want to finish while it's nice out along with some delicious summer recipes. I've promised my husband some lemon cheesecake for awhile now so I probably need to get to that very soon! ;)

This balsamic shredded beef is so delish! It has a nice tang to it that pairs perfectly on top of some mashed potatoes or even some fries depending on how you want to eat it. That's the wonderful thing about shredded beef it can be so versatile! You can eat it on sandwiches, cold on salads, on mash potatoes, in a loaded fries type of way, or by itself. I'm making myself hungry just thinking of all the options so I better get to it!

I don't know about you, but I just had a long and exhausting weekend. Don't get me wrong, it was fantastic! But that whole springing forward thing really has me outta whack! As some of you may know, Adam, I, and our girl, Zephyr, have recently joined the Michigan Search and Rescue. This past weekend they held a camp from Thursday evening through Sunday afternoon.

To keep the ball rolling on the low carb track, up next is Mushroom Alfredo Spaghetti Squash. This is the epitome of creamy deliciousness -- which I love most! Now, I made it into a mushroom alfredo but don't be afraid to make it into a chicken alfredo or a sausage alfredo, even a spicy sausage alfredo would be pretty good in my mind!

I'm pretty sure that I need to buy a lottery ticket. We've had two snow days in the past week. One today and one last week Thursday and both those days were my days off from work.

Score!
