Crock pot cheesy potatoes and carrots is such a nice side dish for a main dish. Today, I had a roast in the oven and so I chose to make these crock pot cheesy potatoes and carrots. They turned out perfect.
I love that you can put them in the crock pot and forget about them. We have our kids over on the fourth Sunday and these worked out fine. I wasn’t sure if there was going to be enough and so I put some potatoes on to boil.
We had all the food on the table and then my one son asked “hey what is in the crock pot?”. Cheesy potatoes and carrots, and he said “oh that is so lame, I am down at this end of the table eating potatoes and gravy, that’s messed up”. Yes most people prefer cheese instead of gravy!
I did have a nice birthday, I was amazed at the outpouring of love that I received on my birthday. I am very blessed and I want to thank you all for all your love and support!
My sweet family gave me a nice Minky blanket; it is very soft and wonderful. However, I sometimes think that they gave it to me so that they could all use it. They sure do love it whether they are wrapping up in it or using it for a pillow. Oh well, I guess that I am glad that I can share!

Also I did enjoy my cake, and today we ate my favorite pie; sour cream blueberry. I am pretty sure that tomorrow is the day that I better start back eating healthy.
Remember, I think that I told you that the Dr. told me that my cholesterol was too high, and that I better take medicine. I told him no thank you and started eating more oatmeal and walking.
I did have the test taken right after Christmas. No one should ever do that. So in a few months, we will see how things are going. I know that they will be better, as long as I don’t have it tested tomorrow! Have a wonderful week.
