Swiss Steak  is a perfect family friendly meal that is simple to make tin the slow cooker. This amazing recipe creates the most tender beef in a rich & creamy gravy.  We love to serve it with mashed potatoes, but it would also be good over rice or noodles as well.    We love really easy slow cooker meals!  In addition to this Slow Cooker Swiss Steak recipe, you should

Does This Make Me a Bad Mom?

Several weeks ago, my kids were bickering like nobody’s business.  We have this ongoing fight with the teen girls.  One of them loves to sing.  The other gets annoyed by repetitive singing.  On this particular day though, the teen girls were fighting about everything, including singing.  The toddler was crying about EVERYTHING.  The preschooler was enjoying annoying his 7 year old sister a little too much.  And, EVERYONE was tattling!  It

The kitchen is a disgusting mess. You’re walking to the laundry room to find your 4 year old a pair of jeans because for some odd reason he wet his pants.   Instead of making it to the laundry room, you slip in some spilled juice on the floor.  Your kids need a bath (and a haircut, too) and the toddler is drawing on the wall. Dinner is looking like spaghetti (again).

    The funny thing about blogging about crockpot meals is that my family doesn’t get to eat the same meal twice very often.  I mean, we do go back and repeat things, but I’m always so eager to try new things, that we often don’t get around to eating a favorite until months later.  My poor family. That is happening with this meal.  Apparently, it’s one of my best slow

This recipe started out as something different.  It wasn’t originally going to be served over chips. It was supposed to be a low carb recipe, but then… when I made it, it just seemed weird.  It wasn’t very tasty.  It was bland chicken in the slow cooker.  There wasn’t enough seasonings.  I couldn’t feed it to my family, much less tell you the recipe.  So… I did what any cook

As a mom of 7 kids, I’ve been on the receiving end of baby gifts A LOT in my life.  You would think that would mean that I know exactly what I should get new moms when it’s their turn to get a gift from me.  The funny thing is that I’ve had my fair share of struggling with what to buy new moms, too….that is until recently. I think we all

This Chocolate Lava Brownie was so amazing!  It’s super easy, too!   It cooks in the slow cooker on high for 2 hours, so it doesn’t take long for it to be done either.

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of ©Frozen. The opinions and text are all mine.   Once upon a time, in a house not far away in Kansas, lived 5 little princesses with their parents.  The oldest two are too old to like childish things, the next two already had so many pretty things that they didn’t need any more Princess-y items, but the youngest one, she was

It’s time to get back to cooking for me.  My family has been eating way too much fast food and pizza!  It’s easy to get out of the habit of cooking on a regular basis when you’re busy, isn’t it? Well, since I’m the girl who’s halfheartedly trying to stay on a diet, I figured I should find some low carb recipes to try.  I’m half-hearted after my trip to Colorado

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.
