Slow Cooker Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Hi friends! I am heading to see family this week….super excited!

Happy hump day everyone! Somewhere along the lines of having baby #4, I started streamlining our meals and cooking on repeat. This is so not like me…I used to live for my weekly meal planning, browsing new recipes, making a huge mess in the kitchen even on a week night (well I still do that, but…
