Welcome back to my series 25 Days of Easy Christmas Crafts for Children! I had originally named it for “Toddlers & Preschoolers” but my big kids complained! They said that the crafts were fun for them, too! LOL I renamed it, in honor of them, (although I think the title page of my e-book did not get changed)! I can’t believe we’re already to Day 4! I think December

25 Days of Easy Crafts for Toddlers & Preschoolers Day 3 Today’s craft is a fun one! We made several sets of these coasters last year for Christmas presents. They are amazingly easy and super fun to customize how you like! They don’t even have to be made in a Christmas theme. We chose to print our picture rather than use scrapbook paper. Since I don’t have a color printer,

Today’s craft was super easy to do and didn’t take much time, but I think you’ll agree it looks pretty on the tree!

I think that I could eat Mexican food every day of the week, but my husband does not agree with me! Here’s one that you will hopefully love! Slow Cooker Enchiladas I think that I could eat Mexican food every day of the week, but my husband does not agree with me! Here's one that you will hopefully love!
Today, my plan is a frugal one, based on the fact that I have so much turkey to eat up. I have 4 meals using the turkey leftovers from Thanksgiving on this plan. Most of them are written so that you can still use it with the Freezer to Slow Cooker method if you have enjoyed cooking that way so far. I’ve also added 2 beef dishes, so that you
Here’s my token, non turkey meal. Believe it or not, I think I may run out of turkey!! I did come home with a fully cooked, not touched turkey! Spicy Beef Vegetable Soup 1 lb cooked ground beef 1 c. chopped onions 1 jar spaghetti sauce 1 1/2 cups water 1 lb frozen mixed vegetables 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies 1 can beef broth 1 tsp. pepper Cook
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!
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.
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.
