Big & Little

I have both crock pots going this morning... one with supper and one with dessert. I don't have much to say at the moment... I am very tired and heading for a nap with Jonathan who is sick... so instead of blabbering on I will post the recipes that are cooking in my kitchen.

I adjusted the dinner recipe since we are a family of 7 and not a family of 4.
For the dessert we are having that warm over Angel food cake :)

and now that supper is going Jonathan and I are headed for a nap... he already got a head start and is asleep on my lap.
