So as I write this I'm eating lunch in my office while getting caught up on reading some of those blogs I like to read, but instead of getting full, reading about this sloppy joe recipe is just making me hungrier!
Gretchen, in the veggies you included, did you include celery? (I like to use fresh chopped green pepper, carrot, and celery that I pressure-cook to retain the full flavor, and the celery surprisingly enhances the flavor). One of the favorite things I like about sloppy joes is how good they smell while cooking... Must be that dog sense of smell I have in me!
P.S.
I started a new blog called, "Too Funny or Interesting to Forget" that you might find somewhat amusing....
You totally inspired me to make sloppy joes.
