I feel like in a pinch I am really bad about coming up with something quick and easy for dinner. If I don't make up a menu for the week I'm totally lost at dinner time. Ask Mitch; I think it drives him crazy when he asks what's for dinner and I say I have no idea. It is especially difficult because the defrost on our microwave doesn't work. It just cooks the meat no matter what you try. So everything I think of I can't ever make.
Mondays are terribly busy days around here. We get home from speech when I would normally like to be sitting down for dinner. So, I'm working on finding quick and easy things to be able to still get a good dinner on the table for us. I'm finding that the easiest way I'm able to accomplish this is by putting something in the crock pot so it's ready for my hungry kids right when we get home. Over the last few months as I've made crock pot meals I've doubled the recipe and made one for dinner and put the other in the freezer for later when I need a meal. Today as I was struggling with what I was going to do for dinner because I hadn't yet made my menu, I decided to get one of those meals out. It was awesome. I had no prep time at all and we're going to have a great yummy meal tonight. It's really little things like this that make me so ridiculously happy. It wasn't that much extra work when I froze them because I was already using all the ingredients and it made no extra dishes (big plus). Just a bonus meal to use on a day like today when I don't have time to whip something up. {happy sigh!!}
