Comfort food

So, last week my schedule was pretty tight. That being said, I still have to feed my kids. The crock pot always comes in handy when a meal needs to be made for a mom on the go. I put my 3 pounds of chuck roast in the crock pot with about 6 chopped potatoes and plenty of of baby carrots. I added the pot roast crock pot seasoning mix and set the crock pot on high. I let it cook the food as I attended to my rather long to do list. As I came home at about 6 pm, my dinner was done and I was ready to feed my family a home made dinner. Pot roast always makes me think of my mom and grandma. It was truly a comforting meal for a cold wintry day.
After my kids, husband and I had are full of the pot roast, there was still 1 pound of the roast meat left over. I took the meat and the juices of the pot roast and stored it in the refrigerator. The next day, I took the pot roast meat and juices and threw them back into the crock pot. I added 1 can of tomato juice, two cans of Veg-All, and 5 chopped potatoes. I set the crock pot on high for about 7 hours. After my day of hustle and bustle was done, I came home to a pot of homemade vegetable soup. Vegetable soup made from scratch is definitely one of my favorite comfort foods. It was a pretty quick fix and rather cheap when you use leftovers to create a whole other meal. So, that was comforting too.
