I am sorry that I didn't get a Saturday on the Porch out last week.

The craziest thing happened. I had the post almost complete.

Then the unthinkable happened……..

The post disappeared.

Kind of like that missing sock……never to be found again.

I save throughout the writing process. Literally, about 3 hours of work was gone.

I unsuccessfully tried to retrieve it. I contacted my tech company. They couldn't find it either.

I didn't have it in me to sit there and write it again.

I won't lie……I'm a bit nervous about this happening again.

The above look has been on repeat lately. When it gets cooler, I'll add a denim jacket or cardigan. These joggers that I got at Walmart for $5 are no longer available so I've found alternatives for you.

I've got my eye on this lounge set from Chico's. It's great for home and going out. I like the tunic length of the top to wear with leggings as well. Lounge set: Top and Joggers

Joggers are really all the rage. I personally love them! They can be dressed up or down. They are a great alternative if you aren't a leggings person, but want easy-going comfort.

Happenings

slow cooker with veggies

It's officially slow cooker season over here! My slow cooker is ancient, but I've got my eye on this one.

I don't follow a recipe for my slow cooker pot roast. I just dump it all in!

Pot Roast

These liners are great for the slow cooker. It really eliminates some messy cleanup.

I started by placing coarsely chopped veggies in the bottom: sweet onion, celery, carrots, and baby potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and minced garlic.

In a bowl, I mix 1 can of French Onion Soup, 1 envelope of onion soup mix with water to make a soupy sauce.

I pour some of this on top of the veggies.

I used a rump roast here. I salt and pepper it generously. Then sear it on the stovetop on both sides to get a nice crusty brown. About 4 minutes on each side.

Pour the soup mixture on top. Add a little water.

Cook it all day on low. I start it around 9 am and remove the meat around 6. I then whisk about 2 tablespoons of flour in about 1/4 cup of very hot water. Pour that in with the gravy and veggies to thicken it a bit. I let it continue to cook for about 15 minutes while the roast rests before carving. My family loves it! I serve it with rice and biscuits.

I've also made similar in my Instant Pot.

This similar 3-container slow cooker is fabulous! I used it in this post for a taco bar.

I snapped this photo Friday evening! This is Jack's idea of hanging out with me and being loving. He sits on the opposite couch with me. He doesn't like to be held but can be very loving on his terms.

  1. Your outfit is so cute! I don’t own any joggers but after seeing your pictures, I want a pair. A pot roast sounds delicious for fall. I’ll make it in my crockpot that is probably as old as yours. Thank you for sharing my peanut butter cup recipe this week!

I love hearing from you!
