My crock-pot adventures

So I have been inspired to start making most of my meals using my crock-pot. Reason......I just DONT have time in the evenings when I get home to make a good and healthy meal for my family, and spend time with them and get them to bed on time.

The older they get....the more hectic my life gets.

It doesn't help that Brayden now has soccer practice going on, Chris has been working every night until the wee hours of the morning getting the house in "pretty condition" and the house is on the market now so it is nights spent of cleaning up and making sure it is "show worthy" by the off chance that someone wants to come through it.

So, in light of everything that is going on in my life right now, I have decided that one BIG way to cut down on the hectic nights is to use my crock-pot on a VERY REGULAR basis. So my challenge to myself is.........4 (or sometimes 5) nights a week, for 4 consecutive weeks I will cook dinner in my crock-pot. The challenge will be making something that is good, healthy, and not always the same things (pot roast....yum yum) every night.

I have decided I will start this next week and see how it goes. I am using one of my FAVORITE crock-pot blogs (http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/) as my inspiration and recipe helper.
