This is a meal that pays you back for a few days. I also love that it has all the veggies cooked into it, leaving you with only spending 15 minutes to make rice before dinner. The most time consuming part of this dish is the veggie chopping. I use a chopper like this and it goes really fast. It is also a great way to get the kids involved. My kids like to chop veggies with that contraption and they can manage it on their own. We ate this plain the first night with rice and an organic tortilla. The next few days we ate burrito bowls, rice at the bottom, picadillo, pinto beans, lettuce, fresh tomatoes, and drizzled with vegan queso. I bought some queso for this dish from Costco but I also have a great recipe here.
Ingredient:
2 lbs ground beef
1 yellow onion
1 green bell pepper
3 small carrots
4 small/medium Yukon gold potatoes
12 olives
4 cups of beef bone broth
1 - 15 oz can tomato sauce
1 tbs chili powder
1 1/2 TBS salt
1/2 TBS coriander
1/2 TBS cumin
1 baf leaf
Optional: 1/2 Cup left over red wine if you have it laying around.
Directions:
In your slow cooker, turn on the sauté setting and brown your meat. While that is cooking peel and dice all your veggies. This recipe needs small veggies. when the meat is cooked, add all the veggies, bone broth, tomato sauce, wine (optional), and seasonings. Turn on to cook high for 4 hours.
When it gets closer to time to eat, I like to turn the sauté setting back on and reduce some of the extra broth off. Make your rice. Serve your fancy dinner like you worked all day for it, no one will know you didn't 😉.
Enjoy!

In fact, the first official link ticketed member of the link line was clocked at 10 p.m.…YESTERDAY. One fan even flew all the link way from India just to queue up in Times Square. Chalk it up to the power of MoonSwatch or the energy of the full moon itself, idk.
Very rarely does link a watch brand do precisely what enthusiasts want. But this year, Chopard released the L.U.C 1860 that so many – myself included – have wanted link for a while. The updated L.U.C. takes what was already nearly a perfect dress watch, the original 1860 introduced in 1997, and evolves it just enough. First, it kept the essential link parts of the 1860: 36mm case, guilloche dial, and that beautiful, in-house, COSC-certified micro-rotor movement. But then, Chopard made a few updates.
These feelings could change, but this is how I see it right now – though link I admit that link the modern Lady Datejust, the Patek Philippe grand complications, and the Zenith Defy Midnight link (women’s or men’s) have turned my head.
If I'm wearing a GMT that, like the Serica 8315, uses an independently adjustable 24-hour hand, then there is a good chance that I have the GMT hand set to UTC+0 and the main link time display set to my home time. In order to change that (and ensure some level of accuracy), I would need to stop the movement, update the local time, link possibly the date, and then link adust the GMT hand to coordinate either to my home time or to UTC time.
What makes this link watch so rare is – like all things – the details. Patek world timers from the 1950s weren't mass produced and generally were purchased by magnates and mega-millionaires (sorry, everyone else). There's even a dispute as to how many total 2523s were ever made, but it's safe to say that number is less than 25. But that's looking at a birds-view of link all 2523 and 2523-1 pieces. When it comes to this particular link watch up for auction, that number shrinks considerably.
