Slow Cooker Beef Bolognese

Vacation food inspiration…I love it! When we were at Disney last month, Whitney ordered Beef Bolognese one evening. She shared a portion of her entree’ with Dale and he raved about it. If you’re not familiar with this dish, don’t think spaghetti. Here’s an official description of what it is…

Valentine’s Charcuterie

Most of the time when I think of having a Valentine’s Day meal, I think of the whole big, blown out menu like, steak, baked potatoes, salad, bread, and dessert. This year I decided on something completely different, and we may have enjoyed it even more! I decided I’d do a charcuterie board with my husband’s favorite things. He LOVED it!
