Having three growing young men and a husband, I am on constantly on the lookout for recipes that fill them up and taste great. I was quite surprised by this new recipe. I really didn’t think they would like it, but even my pickiest eater loved it. The best part is the recipe only has 6 ingredients.

Slow Cooker Beef
1 package of onion soup mix
1 can cheddar cheese soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup boiling water
1 2-3lb chuck roast
Medium to wide egg noodles

Combine the first 4 ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Place chuck roast in slow cooker cover with mixture from bowl. Cook on low 6-8 hrs. Cook noodles according to package instructions.
Serve slow cooker beef over cooked noodles.

Yummy!

This weekend has been incredible and exhausting all in one. This was my weekend to work and I had several meetings and events to attend. I work every other weekend 3pm-11pm at our local hospital as a case manager, and one other day during the week.

My schedule has been the same since November when I went to this job. I have been working four days on and ten days off. I knew this schedule was changing soon, but thought it was next week. I drug myself up the stairs to get ready, kissed my boys and headed out the door.

On the way to my post, I walked passed the door of an office that is usually closed. I know the person who works in the office, but rarely see them. Today, I saw the light on and the door open. I stopped to speak and shared with her about the upcoming  Love One Chick Night we are having at ROCK Church and how I would love for her to come.

I went to my post and started my duties, and in walked my co-worker. I was surprised to see her. The new schedule started today and not next week as I thought. I gathered up my items and headed out the door. I realized if I did not come in today, I may not have been able to share with someone who I don’t usually get to see. Even though it seemed like a mistake to me,  it could have been exactly what God had planned.
