This is going on right now in my kitchen! While I'm checking off the todo list dinner is cooking and allowing a beautiful aroma of fantasticness to fill my house! I love my crock pot! Have I mentioned that? Who invented this amazing cooking savior because they deserve a hug. I use it for everything. I mean you can seriously name a meal, breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and I can make it in a crock pot. I might sound nuts, but it's true. With two kids, two and under, it saves my life.
Like everyone else, we are on a serious budget and eating out just isn't in the plan. I looked last month and I think we spent $1.50 eating out the whole month. And don't get me wrong it's not because we are against making things simple, but anything not bought at the grocery store really adds up fast. I mean crazy fast. Try it sometime, keep a log. I did and it was scary. Trying to be a stay at home mom really makes you set priorities and here's mine. Healthy food, I know what's in it ( I washed my hands, which is a lot more than I can say for a lot of restaurants), and being the guardian of our funds,
One of my old standbys is just plain chicken breasts with taco seasoning, diced tomatoes, sliced onion, and bell pepper. It's a throw everything in kinda meal. I heart easy food. Then when it's time to eat just grab tortillas and your favorite toppings add a side of rice, beans or whatever you got. Yum!
Gosh I could go on forever about this, but you get the idea. Instructions include: step one distract the kids, step two throw ingredients in crock pot, step three make sure it's plugged in and turned to low, step four go about your day! Done! Check that off your list, I did!
