(This post contains affiliate links) Wouldn’t it be nice if I could make that my title each week?  🙂  How fast I’d get skinny.  I know 6 pounds a week isn’t even close to being a realistic expectation.  If I were to lose 6 pounds each week of this 12 week Get Healthy & Fit Series, I will have lost 72 pounds.  Yeah…I’m thinking that it will slow down…..probably way,

As you all know, I’m currently trying hard to eat healthier.  I’m eating more fruits and vegetables as well as cutting out sugar…..especially my long time love, Dr. Pepper. In the process, we decided to make healthy snacks for the kids today. Butterfly Apples These are super simple!  I had made one for one of my kids this afternoon and before I knew it, everyone was requesting their own. Here’s

  Several months ago, my son, then 14, started getting acne on his face.  This is something that my husband is very passionate about and takes very seriously!  You see, he also struggled with acne as a teenager.  It wasn’t until he went into the Army Reserves and while at Basic Training, they sent him to a doctor for treatment, that he realized something could be done about it.  They

  I was going to write you all an AWESOME blog post tonight, but I was a little distracted. I had to save the kitchen from the invasion of the dirty dishes. I even had to hand wash them!  This led to talking with my 12 year old daughter about boys and how crazy & funny they are.  We talked about other kids her age who are already dating and

Are you good at doing girls’ hair?  I’m not.  And I have 4 girls! Remember me?  I’m the unobservant one.  The one who rarely even notices if you got a hair cut.  But, somehow, I’m supposed to notice if my girls need their hair done, right?  Oh…actually, I do notice.  It’s after we got somewhere with their hair a mess and I realize…..”oh no, I meant to brush their hair!”.

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.
