One of my favorite busy day crock pot meals is meatball subs. Usually I dump a bag of frozen meatballs and a jar of marinara sauce in the slow cooker and let it cook on low until I'm ready to serve them on toasted hot dog buns. The rest of my crew likes frozen meatballs,… Continue reading What We’re Eating Wednesday {5.17.23}

Menu Monday + Tweaking the Plans {10.3.22}
Sometimes your meal planning strategy needs to be tweaked. During the school year, my husband referees college volleyball in the fall and college lacrosse in the spring. This means that, like others in the sports industry, he works in the evenings on game days. Historically I've always planned supper meals on those days with things… Continue reading Menu Monday + Tweaking the Plans {10.3.22}
Menu Monday + Cook Once, Eat Twice: Blackened Chicken {8.29.22}
Have you heard of the "cook once, eat twice" method? It's the idea of managing your time in the kitchen so that you cook one main dish and then use it for a couple different meals. I did that with the blackened chicken recipe I love. I use this one from Skinny Taste - the… Continue reading Menu Monday + Cook Once, Eat Twice: Blackened Chicken {8.29.22}

Working outside my house means most days I can't turn the slow cooker on at lunch time. This one checks both those boxes, plus… Continue reading Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches

Menu Monday + How I’m Saving Money on Meat {7.11.22}
I love the convenience of grocery pickup, but at least once a month I pop into Ingles (grocery chain) at 8:00 AM and shop their marked down meat - those "meat manager specials" for things that are nearing their best by date. Recently I've purchased pork chops and a whole chicken for $.99/pound! I can… Continue reading Menu Monday + How I’m Saving Money on Meat {7.11.22}
