Slow Cooker Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteaks
Mondays are always the worst day of the week in our house. It just seems to be hard to get the motivation going to start the week ahead. I usually try to not schedule any appointments or meetings on Mondays because I just cannot get moving. But, because our schedules are extra busy right now…
