  Breakfast.  It’s what’s for dinner!   I don’t know about you, but I seriously love eating breakfast for dinner.  Maybe it’s because I hate cooking in the  morning.  I’m so not a morning person, but I really enjoy a hot breakfast.  If I’m going to eat a hot meal for breakfast, I’m going out to eat, lol.  But….since I never cook it in the mornings, it makes a perfect

One of my kids’ favorite side dishes that we eat, when we go to a friend’s house for Thanksgiving dinner each year, is her homemade macaroni and cheese. Can you make Mac and Cheese in the Instant Pot? YES!    I’m not sure why I don’t make it more often, really, because in the Instant Pot, Macaroni & Cheese is so easy!  Probably just about as easy as it is

One thing I love about the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker, is that I can forget to put dinner in my slow cooker and still have something like Instant Pot Roast, Potatoes and Carrots ready within the next hour. The one thing I wished I did differently about this Instant Pot Roast recipe though, is that I wish I would have picked a less fatty piece of meat.  Have you ever

My husband is a huge NFL football fan.  We spend many Sunday afternoons with the TV playing his favorite football team, the Kansas City Chiefs.  He loves hollering at his team when they’re doing good AND when they’re doing bad.  He also loves having great, delicious food while he’s watching the game.  Especially Slow Cooker Chili!   For me, the main reason I’m excited about football season is because of

  I’ve been trying to eat more vegetables and salads lately, but I didn’t want to do the same thing that I normally do.  Typically, I will just make a chef salad, or a chicken salad, but it almost always tastes the same, with the same vegetables and dressing and it isn’t really that special.  It’s just a way for me to increase my veggies, easily.   Well, this time,

  I just love it when I can put something in the slow cooker at night, then get up the next morning and not worry about dinner the following day!  I especially LOVE doing this on Saturday nights, when I know I’ll have church in the morning.  This is what I did with this recipe, last week.  It cooked all night long, and when I got up in the morning,

You know how I love finding slow cooker recipes to make with ground beef?  Well, this one was a really big hit in our house.  I think, just because it’s simple and it has regular ingredients.  Nobody has to wonder what that piece of anything is.  And, we know it’s all family favorites like ground beef, potatoes, corn, etc. Serve this dish with some cornbread and it’ll make the meal

In the past, I would never cook anything that even came close to resembling Asian food, because my husband claimed he didn’t like it.  But, I started to notice that he’d go to Walmart and buy a bucket of chicken, when he was in a time pinch.  In that bucket, he’d pick out General Tso’s Chicken, as one of his favorites!  I was a little floored!  “Hey”, I said, “I

With Back to School season seeming to be in full force, it’s time to start thinking easy meals.  Of course, using the slow cooker is always the best idea for me, but…. on those days that I forget, having an easy-to-make meal on hand, for the stove top, is almost as good.  I don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen any day of the week, so if I can

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
