I am back after a glorious two nights away with my husband in northern Minnesota. We had an awesome time and can't thank my parents enough for watching our two active kiddos while we were away! I feel like I'm being thrust into mommy mode again but I'm completely unprepared...no groceries, no clean house, no clean laundry...it's CHAOS!! But I have managed to throw together a menu plan for the week, based mostly on what I already have in the fridge, pantry and freezer, and I'm really giving my good ol' Crock Pot a workout this week:
Sunday: we ate some wonderful BBQ from our next door neighbors
Monday: Slow Cooker Jam Chicken (recipe to come soon), roasted red potatoes, lettuce salad
Tuesday: Slow Cooker Broccoli Beef, brown rice
Wednesday: leftovers
Thursday: Slow Cooker Angel Chicken, mixed vegetables, lettuce salad
Friday: potluck banquet at my kids' Early Childhood Education school
Saturday: Homemade Mac 'n' Cheese, broccoli, lettuce salad

I'm going to have to steal your Slow Cooker Angel Chicken recipe....looks delish, and so easy! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat angel chicken recipe looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my MPM. What an interesting blog you have! :)
ReplyDelete2 nights away! That sounds like heaven. I'm looking forward to when my husband and I can do that (hopefully in time for our anniversary!). :) Trying to get little one to consistently sleep through the night first.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. :)
Your menu sounds good--you love your slow cooker! I'm with you on that one.
The slow cooker angel chicken looks really good - and healthy than the creamy one I'm doing this week! Glad you had a nice time away with hubby but the re-entry to reality is tough isn't it??!! LOL!
