This Chicken Tortellini with Alfredo Sauce slow cooker recipe, may be one of the easiest recipes EVER, but it DOES NOT show that by the way it tastes.  I threw it together in a few minutes, thinking it may be bland, or not one of the better recipes I’ve made, and to my surprise, it far exceeded my expectations!  The pot was full, and now it’s empty, if that gives

Now that summer has arrived, it’s time to start thinking about how to keep cool, right? Plenty of water, air conditioning, and of course splash parks are all great ways to keep cool during the hot months. Another way to keep cool is to simply not heat up the house. One way to accomplish that is to use the crockpot as much as possible. To get you started, I’ve rounded

I don’t know about you, but I love making festive foods for the 4th of July.  Guess what?  You don’t even have to cook this special dessert.  You barely have to do anything to it, except cut it, roll it and put a stick in it. While these weren’t made with red, white and blue sprinkles, imagine how cute they would be with them on there, they would make all

I have been compensated by Johnson’s® Baby for this post; however, I am sharing my own thoughts. All opinions are my own. When I was younger, I used to wonder what you use Johnson’s® Baby Oil for.  I had to research it to figure it out (aka asked my friends on Facebook, lol).  Thanks to those awesome friends, I’ve learned that there’s a huge myriad of ways to use it.

Hey everybody!  If you noticed that I’ve been MIA, it’s because I was on VACATION!  Our family took a trip from Kansas to the Grand Canyon to San Diego and then back up north into the Sierra Nevada mountains of California to visit some friends (and see some pretty amazing Sequoia trees, too!).   We logged 4,000 miles of driving on our trip.  We had a great, great time, but

  Do you have one of those recipes that is your go-to recipe?  That is what this Instant Pot BBQ Chicken Sandwich recipe is for me.  It used to be, that I could plan way ahead, even cook it overnight and have it ready for Sunday after church.  But, here lately, I keep forgetting to even put anything into my slow cooker early enough to have it ready for dinner.

  Have you ever had a recipe on your list of recipes to make, but then, you weren’t sure if you should REALLY make that recipe?  This Garlic Italian Roast & Pasta recipe was one of those.  I wasn’t sure if I should really cook a delicious cut of meat, like a roast in spaghetti sauce.  I was afraid I would feel like it was a waste of a good roast.

When I start talking about how to save money on groceries without coupons, it always reminds me of those days when I tried couponing.  We live in a small town, where Walmart has been our main grocery store. Couponing hasn’t been easy here in our area for years.  I used to hear about all of the crazy deals that people would get by using coupons and I would be totally jealous

Testimonials

  • 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.
