The kids and I are getting a bit of cabin fever so we decided to make Lime Meltaway Cookies. They were seriously addictive and I think all my hard work trying to get back in shape after baby #3 took a hit today with all the cookies I ate!!
For dinner I whipped together spaghetti with meat sauce with some of my pantry stockpiles. I used up my crushed tomato, tomato paste and one of my cans of mushrooms (think I still have 3 more of those to go).
Tomorrow night Avery has soccer right when we normally eat dinner. For the last few months that meant that we would just pick something up on the way home, but with my goal of lowering our food budget and trying to use up what we have I am going to use my slow cooker tomorrow. I must say I love the idea of the slow cooker- having a home cooked meal without having to rush around during the "crazy" hour, but I am never really happy with how my food turns out. How about you? Do you use a slow cooker frequently or hardly ever? If you have a favorite recipe that you would be willing to share please post it in the comments. I would love to use my slow cooker more.
I love to use my slow cooker, but seem to forget about it too often. Here's something very simple and easy for the slow cooker.....a bottle of BBQ sauce and chicken...that's it. If the chicken in frozen, I cook it for most of the day on low, if it's fresh, half the day (or less). When it's done, it just falls apart, and is so delicious. I like to serve it on a hoagie roll or over rice.
ReplyDeleteThose cookies sound delicious!!!! My hubby and I go crazy for anything involving lime -- these would be a big hit here, thanks!! :-)
