Having a large family, one of my main goals in order for my week to go smoothly is to plan my meals ahead….and to make them easy for me to complete without a lot of time and effort! I need to work on the rest of my weekly goals, but for now, meal planning it is!!
That is why I came up with a weekly meal plan where I can get it all mostly ready at once…freezing ingredients together. The night before, I can just toss it in the fridge to thaw and then first thing in the morning, it goes into the crockpot for a delicious meal at supper! Here’s what we’ll be eating, almost completely using crockpot meals. If you missed Week one, you should see that here.
Slow Cooker Pizza
Chicken Pot Pie
Pasta Fagiola
Meat Loaf
French Stew
Chicken & Dumplings

Thanks Kathy

Oh thank you for pointing that out Susan. I fixed it! I'm so glad this is helpful to you. I want to do another plan. You're right though, it shouldn't take much more time than one whole meal. Maybe an hour or so. I hope that you enjoy it!

Wow I love this. I pinterested it and I am going to the grocer today and possibly assembling this afternoon. I wonder how long does the assembly take? It doesn't seem like it would take much longer than the time to prepare one meal…yeah! BTW Somehow part of your shopping list got into the preparation directions… it could just be my computer. I am so technologically challenged! This cooking plan will free up some time to remedy that!
