It’s getting cooooold in Atlanta. We had our fall season, all 3 days of it, before freezing temperatures and bitter days crept in. That makes me want belly-warming stews, hot chocolate and my fuzzy slippers! Since my husband wont’ let me turn on the Christmas music yet, I’m dusting off my slow cooker for this ham stew from eMeals. The slow cooker eMeals meal plan is priced out (though not store specific), feeds a family of 6, and generally costs around $120 per week (or less). That’s only $2.86 a person per meal! For those of you with smaller families, there’s also a “For Two” plan available. The recipes utilize common, mainstream ingredients, all available at your local grocery store, and appeals to a broad range of tastes and palate preferences.
This delicious Ham, Kale and Navy Bean Stew is served over home-y Cheesey Grits, and appears on this week’s Slow-Cooker Classic Meal Plan. Your family will devour any leftovers for lunch, and any extras freeze perfectly.

I love that book! Good suggestions. Can’t believe Andrew is 9 months already.
This looks and sounds so delicious! I’m encouraging my kids to try new foods I think I may be able to get them to try this.
I loved my Graco jogger, and was sad when Baby D outgrew it. It’s a great one for a 5 month old (and below)!!
We are big fans of the baby jogger for sure! And Moo Baa!
Yes! I think they will really like it!
You’re so welcome. eMeals is my favorite, and it’s so easy. Good luck with dinner!
🙂 Our book looks awful, we read it so much. Maybe I’ll replace it one day when it really bites the dust!
And above! 🙂 Red is 3.5 and I still put him in it. I call it more of a containment unit at that point!
Sweet boy – he’s a heartbreaker!
