I won’t send you any spam, ever. Promise!
And, what makes it even a little better is that it’s a crockpot dinner – does it get any better than that? So, grab your load of healthy veggies while you’re at Publix and plan for a warm, yummy, HEALTHY, dinner tonight!
(I know this is a LOT of ingredients! If you feel like it’s way too much, skip a few of the items – I think last time I made it I left out the spinach and mushrooms, because I just didn’t want to spend that much. Just do what makes sense for your family – but it’s a great way to sneak in oodles of fresh veggies and maybe your family will survive!)
This is in my crockpot right now, so I’ll add the picture tonight!

We had this for dinner tonight and it was really good, and even better because it’s good for you! I forgot to add the squash (I hurried out to get my kiddos and it was sitting right next to the crockpot), and skipped the spinach to save a dollar. (My hubby was glad – he doesn’t like spinach much but I think it would have made it even better!) It makes A LOT of food, so you’ll have enough for leftovers and maybe even some to freeze. Enjoy!
