It's October - Birthday Month!!

October is finally here and it is by far one of my favorite months of the year! The weather cools off, there is the FL vs. GA game, & most importantly there is my birthday! :) We have started the birthday month off with a bang. Yesterday we hung out at the house and played with Lilly while catching up on laundry from the weekend. We hit up the Fresh Market for dinner & bought their New England Clam chowder and sourdough bread. We hollowed out the bread and had a soup bread bowl. It was heavenly!! Probably the best clam chowder I have ever tasted besides in Boston (nothing will ever beat that).

Today we headed out to run some errands and Delainey bought me my first birthday present for the month. She bought me some beautiful new riding boots! What a sweet girl I have :) haha

 D playing dress up at the mall. I wish it got cold enough to wear these! So cute!!

When we got home we had a delicious dinner waiting for us in the crock pot. My new goal is to try a new recipe every Tuesday. Today we tried a pot roast recipe my friend Morgan gave me. It was delicious! I forgot to take a picture of it but here is the recipe if anyone wants to try it out.

Slow Cooker Pot Roast
-Brown your meat in a skillet on all sides then place into the crock pot
-Add veggies around meat if desired (I did onions, carrots, mushrooms, fresh green beans)
-Mix all of the following ingredients together in a bowl and pour over the meat & veggies
     1 can of cream of mushroom soup
     1 package of onion soup mix
     1/2 c of water
     1/4 c of sugar
     1/4 c of balsamic vinegar
     2 tsp salt
     1 tsp yellow mustard
     1 tsp worchestire sauce
     2/3 cloves of minced garlic
-Cook on low heat for 7-8 hours and serve over white rice

After dinner, I continued cooking and prepared my mom's famous monkey bread recipe for Mom to Mom tomorrow. It is my groups week to provide breakfast so I figured that would be easy to do ahead of time and just bake tomorrow morning. I can't wait to eat it tomorrow. I hope everyone has a great night & I will be back soon with Delainey's 5 month post!
