It’s 8:44 am and dinner is ready.
I don’t know about you, but I can’t get everything done in my day. I admit I am slow to start in the morning – which is one of the reason I married George, he is wide awake bright and early – he can get the kids breakie going.
As I think about my day and what it has to offer, I am overwhelmed. So, I do little things that will help… like getting my crock pot out and get dinner in it and it will be hot and tasty (we hope) by dinner time. So today, my dinner is ready and in the crock at 8:44 am. Whew…. Chili anyone?
I find this does help with the end of the day, as it decreases the visits to Swiss Chalet for the evening meal. I save money and time. It also allows for more freedom to “play” after school with the kids. When dinner is already ready to go, I am good to head to one of our fine beaches or hang out at the park with the girlies.
I am always on the quest for great crock recipes – but also other great ways to make a tasty, healthy meal at the end of the day and not be overwhelmed. I put this out there to you – the blog audience – does anyone have some recipes or ideas to share. My friend Angela has some nifty solutions on how not to use the oven in the summer (and beyond) – good and delicious recipes so that has been a help. Check out www.angelatunner.com to see what she has.
