I used to love blogging.
Years ago, I had a little blog called This Sweet Journey where I shared recipes, house projects, and life updates. It brought me so much joy to document our life while we were building our first home and raising our babies. But as life got busier with three kids, my law office, and Adam's shift work, I couldn't keep up and quit posting.
Since Adam died, I've been writing regularly - it helps me process this massive life shift. I decided it was time to give blogging another shot, hoping it might spark some joy again. The Sweet Journey tab is where you'll find what's coming out of my kitchen these days as I learn to cook *every night* for our family of four. Adam was our family's chef, while I handled the baking, so this has been a challenge for me.
I'll post recipes here and take a little comfort knowing that even if dinner sucks, my kids will still get great desserts.
Cook chicken in medium frying pan and break up into small pieces. Add garlic, onion and pepper. Stir until veggies soften. Dump meat & veggie mixture into crock pot. Add all remaining ingredients and stir thoroughly, checking back to make sure cream cheese melts in. Cook on low for 3-4 hours.
Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream and warm sourdough biscuits. Biscuit recipe coming up next!
