  Slow Cooker Beef Shepherd’s Pie   My family was very hesitant to eat this slow cooker beef shepherds pie recipe.   My biggest vegetable hater child kept saying how she doesn’t like Shepherd’s pie. My much younger veggie hater, said she wasn’t hungry. We stuck to our guns and told them that they had to at least try it.  Guess what?  They LOVED it! Yep.  Success!  I was thinking….

When I first saw this Mexican Beef recipe, I knew it would be a hit with our family!  We love Mexican food.  In fact, you will find that I always have on hand flour tortillas, sour cream, cheese and salsa.  I can whip up a Mexican style meal in a jiffy in most instances.  Well, this one was really good!  Easy, too!  I originally posted this recipe in Week 5

Teaching Cursive Handwriting with Classical Conversations Prescripts

Handwriting is one of those subjects that I never get excited about.  I have to teach it, but it’s never very fun to me (or the kids for that matter).  In fact, with my first child, we had many tearful teaching sessions of him being frustrated because he could never get it quite right.  Then, I was frustrated because he just wasn’t listening to my instruction.  Thankfully, I learned a

I bet you didn’t know that today is another holiday, did you? January 3rd is National Drinking Straw Day! Yeah, I don’t usually pay attention to those every-day holidays either, but today is different.  I just happen to love drinking out of straws!  I actually don’t do it when I’m at home, but while I’m out, it’s a must do.  So…in honor of this day, I thought I’d round up

Today, January 2nd, is the day that we begin working on our goals together!  You see, I’m a procrastinator.  I tend to put things off until the last minute.  There’s lots of reasons for that, but my plan in the year 2013 is to be more INTENTIONAL in all that I do. One of the ways that I plan to do this is by working together with you all!

  I’m a busy homeschool mom of 6 very active children.  It’s important for me to have a plan in place in order for me to have very productive school days.  I have a problem though.  I don’t like to take the time to plan.  I’m a “fly by the seat of my pants” kind of girl.  I think I drive my organized friends crazy!    While I often do have

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

  • rayzn2angelsfrom Freezer to Slow Cooker Series

    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.
