The freezer directions are incomplete. What comes after peel the carrots?

I also want to thank you for your ideas. I love my crockpot and would forget to take something out of freezer to cook in it. These recipes are GREAT.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU.

  Oh I'm so sorry. i will check and see if I can fix it! You're welcome. I'm glad to help. Thank you so much to let me know when you see a mistake. I think I posted these recipes at 2 in the morning and I was starting to make lots of mistakes! Eating this way has definitely saved my evenings. They're much less stressed and a whole lot more enjoyable!

Sorry, but just realized that recipe calls for boneless, skinless chicken breast. Can you use bone in chicken instead?

  I'm sure that would be just fine. I have a thing against bones (weird personal preference)….so I always go with boneless skinless. I would think a whole chicken would be good like this, too.

I do not have six children, but I have a neighborhood of them. I like to have the hang out house. I at least know what the children are doing and with whom they hang out . LOL

  That's awesome! It's good to be the one where the children hang out, I agree. Think of how much influence you could have on them. We don't live in a neighborhood any more.

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.

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.

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.
