You know how I like quick and easy, right?  🙂  Well, this isn’t a crockpot recipe, BUT, you’ll see that it’s so easy and so quick (besides the 1 hour cooking time), that you’ll enjoy throwing this Quick Egg Casserole together.  We actually had this for our Christmas brunch.  We don’t go all out on cooking on Christmas day.  We’d rather just be lazy than spend much time in the

I sat in my recliner most of the day on Christmas, relaxing.  While it was nice to relax, it wasn’t just relaxing I was doing.  I  had a day full of sneezing and blowing my nose.  While I really did enjoy having a low-key day where I could enjoy the children and just be together,  the cold symptoms, I could do without.  I’m sure you’ve been there before!  We all

  Wow, 3rd trimester?  Was that fast or what?  I’ve got mixed feelings.  On one hand it’s flying by, but on the other hand, it feels like it’s taking forever for March to get here.  It’s funny how our brains work! Honestly, the fact that I’m going to have another little baby relying on me in 3 months is a little bit frightful.  But even more scary?  The birth.  I

Sometimes, we moms are hard to buy for, aren’t we?  Why?  The things we want are either really practical OR really expensive!  My husband doesn’t really like to buy practical gifts for me.  If I tell him I really want some new socks, he’ll say, just go buy some socks and tell me what you really want. I know it’s last minute, so here are a few ideas that I’d

There seems to be a trend with some sets of grandparents.  They love Christmas so much that they want to buy loads of gifts for their grandchildren.  Sometimes they think that the sheer amount of gifts will make up for the quality of them.  The truth is, most of us parents cringe at the thought of zillions of little toys and knick knacks coming into our homes.  Not that we

Schedules during the Christmas season can be so busy!!  It always amazes me how we can go here and there and never be caught up with our to do lists.  Many of us have birthdays thrown into the mix as well.  My daughter was due on Christmas day, but she arrived 4 days early, so we’re always celebrating a birthday at least a few days before Christmas, not to mention

One of the biggest questions I get from all of the Crockpot Freezer Meals that I have posted, is this….. “My family is staying away from canned cream soups because they’re so unhealthy.  Do you  have any substitution for this?”   Well, I finally DO have an answer to this question.  It does require a little extra work, but depending on how much time you have, I think you’ll find

It’s been a while since I shared with you about my pregnancy.  The truth is, I didn’t go to the doctor until I was about 20 weeks along, so you’ve not missed much.  I just passed the 23 week mark on Sunday.  Sometimes I can’t believe it.  Other times, I want to speed up the clock and get this show on the road.  😉 The first few months were interesting.

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.
