When we first bought our house, we knew that we had leaks in the basement, we just didn’t know quite how bad they were.  There was a sump pump in place that helped ease our minds and we were able to get most of the water out with it.  However, it seemed there was always at least a damp floor and occasionally puddles.  When it rained, it sounded like someone

This Mother’s Day post is sponsored by Savings.com Saying yes to kids can be such a difficult thing.  Especially when you’re tired or overwhelmed and they want to do all the things that seemingly take too much energy.  I’ve spent the past 6 months tired, overwhelmed or both.  My poor children.  Mama never wants to do anything! Well, this weekend, after 3 weeks of someone in our family being sick,

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with everything you have to do in order to take care of your family?  The feeding, cleaning, schooling, shopping and just being mentally available to them can be taxing.  Well, friends, that is the place I’m in right now. Yes, I have a new baby, she’s 6 weeks old, and obviously that is enough by itself.  It takes time to adjust, to get your hormones

  The other day, I had put the ingredients for this recipe into the slow cooker.  As you’ll see below, it called for 2.5 pounds of beef stew meat.  “Hopefully 2.5 pounds will feed our ever growing family”, I think to myself.  As we get closer to supper time, I’m starting to worry as I look into the slow cooker to see just how much food is in it.  Then,

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Mom to Mom.   Little Quinnly is 5 weeks old already!  It’s hard to believe that time is passing by so quickly.  While I’m happy that she’s growing and nursing well, it’s sad how short a time they stay little.  I’m trying my best to enjoy ever moment, although I must confess that I’ve had a little flare up

This recipe is so easy!  It’s a dump it in and be done type of recipe.  While you could use dry beans, I like having a canned version so that if I happened to forget to plan ahead, I could throw it all in the crockpot and put it on high for a few hours.  OR if all else fails, I could even make it on the stovetop pretty quickly,

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.
