So, I'm trying to get back to making home cooked meals, and by get back to, I mean start cooking, but with the active life that we have, I just don't have the time to stand over a stove and try something new, so I've decided to start cooking more with the crock pot. In fact, I have meal plans for the next two weeks and all of them are crockpot based. I'm also turning to my bread machine to help me have fresh bread in the house on a regular basis. The truth is, as nice as it sounds to think I might actually make something French, I really need to figure out how to feed my family on a budget and I need to do it quickly! As I thought about the advantages of crock pot cooking, I realized that while my roast simmered away, I could play games with my kids, do dishes, or heaven forbid, work on the book. Plis, there are some really easy recipes, and I'm finding that, at least tonight's dinner, managed to produce enough food for a second meal.
I'm excited about the prospect of being able to make homemade meals for my kids... now if I can just get them to eat the food I make... we had to do the "there are some little kids who have to go to bed hungary tonight!"
