An Affair
I want to have an affair....with my crockpot. I want to become intimate with it and have it wipe away some of the hectic moments of my day! I just put dinner in the crockpot and it is so thrilling to know that in 8-10 hours, I will have a great dinner ready with no work but clean-up tonight.
As my maternity leave comes to a close, I'm trying to be as efficient with time as I can. One way I'm hoping to do that is to eliminate the 15-30 minute debate of what's for dinner when I get home in the evening. I want to remove the time that I spend staring aimlessly at the pantry. If I can reduce prep time during the week that's great too. So, I'm hoping to have a plan of meals at the beginning of the week, ensuring we have all ingredients needed, and use tools like our crockpot to have dinner getting ready while we're at work.
Do you have a crockpot recipe that you love? I'm looking for more ideas. If it something I can put in the crockpot in the refrigerator the night before, that's even better.

GREAT IDEA!!! Look for one of the betty crocker slow cooker books in the checkout aisle of the grocery - the cheap little magazine things. Sometimes they have great recipes in them and there is one issue (at least annually, maybe more often) devoted to slow cookers. Good luck!

We've started cooking two meals/day each weekend day that we can and freezing them in 2-person portions. It's actually working really well...we had chicken cheese enchiladas in five minutes on Friday night! I'll drop you a note with a couple recipes
