Swiss Steak

Pops and I are still waiting for a load in Atlanta. We got here early yesterday. We spent the day catching up on some things that have gone undone. It was rainy so it was a good day to get all that stuff done.

We are sure that today we will get a good load. So I have prepared some Swiss steak for the crockpot. We are still following our diet so I changed a few things to make it acceptable for us. And Minute Rice sells a rice blend (long grain and wild rices) that I will make to go with this. I hope you try it and like it. Let me know if you do.
