When I last bought my Bountiful Baskets basket, in it I received kale.  I’ve often heard of the nutritional benefits of kale, but I don’t usually purchase it at the store.  Honestly, I figured I wouldn’t really like it.  It just reminds me of the decorative greens that restaurants put on the salad bar or on your plate.  I remember whispering as a child, “are we supposed to eat that?”.  I assured anyone sitting with me that I was sure that it was inedible.  LOL  Of course, that’s far from the truth.  Little did I know, just how good for you kale really is.

Well, since I was the proud owner of a bright green bunch of kale, it was time I found a recipe that I could use it in.  Of course, you know me… it must go in the crockpot!  My husband is a little bit nervous when he sees bright green in his soups, so he almost decided to skip dinner that night.  When he heard our 4 year old raving about how good the soup was, that piqued his curiosity and my husband reluctantly came and got a bowl to try some.  He was pleasantly surprised and exclaimed that it was one of the best soups he’s had in a long time!  I must say that I agree wholeheartedly.  That makes me especially happy since I can eat it on my diet!  Here’s the recipe that I used:

  • 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.
