With the fall semester starting up in less than two weeks, I had a realization that my busy life is going to get even busier (hard to believe, I know). I'll have early mornings, packing lunches, rush to and from daycare, classes, taking care of two little girls, homework, and housework. After all that in a day, the last thing on my mind will be the important age old question... What's for dinner?... There is nothing worse then running around all day, come home, and then have to rummage through the fridge and slave over a hot stove. Growing up my mom (having four busy, hungry girls of her own) worked full time and always managed to have dinner ready when she got home. How did she do it? The Crock-Pot (or slow cooker)
I've had a Crock-Pot for years. I'd bring it out and use it here and there for making pot roasts or for appetizer meatballs when entertaining. With busy days ahead and no time to cook, I think I shall make my Crock-Pot my new best friend :)
My mission is to find new and exciting ways to make meals with little work. Less time in the kitchen means more time with my family and I'm all for that. So I'm now on the hunt for good crock-pot recipes and make ahead freezer meals. Of course, when I find good recipes I'll share them :)
I think I may just boycott my kitchen :)
