This Week’s Recipe:
Slow Cooker Potato and Canadian Bacon Chowder
Serves 2-4

Ingredients:
2 C potato, scrubbed and cubed (I leave the skins on)
1 large carrot, diced or grated

1 garlic clove, minced
4 C chicken broth (may use fat-free)
½ C uncooked pearl barley
1 Bay Leaf
¼ tsp thyme
¼ tsp black pepper
4 oz Canadian-style bacon (or ham)** cut into small pieces
3/4 C evaporated milk, half-and-half, or milk (may use fat-free)

This Week’s Work at Home Topic:  Examine & Improve

Kelly shared about how now that she is on nightly Quad watch she has had to revamp her work day. This has caused her to examine some things in her business and come to the realization that it was time to let go of some things that were taking a huge amount of time but not producing much, if any profit. Many of you know that one of Kelly’s recent decisions was to let go of the WC Mini Mag and just yesterday she bid farewell to the Moms Talk Network forum.

It’s hard to let go of things that you’ve started and invested not only time but money in but in the long run it’s worth it to examine and improve and let go of things if you need to. So how about you - is there something you need to let go of?
