Food, Recipes, Meal Planning
— & More!

As a mom of five, I'm always looking for great new, healthy, EASY recipes.  Here is a list of all the recipes I have on my blog — I even organized them for you.  These are all recipes that my family loves!

Be sure to check out my handy-dandy Menu Planning & Grocery List below! I wrote a post all about meal planning, you can check that out HERE. This meal planner is one of the many subscriber freebies!

I'm excited to announce that I have a brand new meal planning course coming out soon! There is a free Holiday Meal Planning Mini-Course included when you sign-up for the waitlist to hear more about Meal Planning Made Easy!

Here's the FREE meal planner I mentioned!

Don't Miss My Popular “Top 10 Freezer Meal to Crock Pot Recipes” Post!

** In fact, if the recipes below don't have a link on them, then they can be found on My Top 10 Freezer Meal to Crock Pot Recipes post.**

What Crockpot Do I Use?

Here's my favorite crockpot! Our fancy, programable 6 qt. crockpot broke last year. I search and tried to find an 8 qt replacement. I actually sent back two different crockpots that I'd ordered. Their lids did not seem to fit the pot properly and too much of the liquid would evaporate during the cooking time. Not good. I finally found this Hamilton Beach 8 qt. crockpot. I love it! It's not fancy, but it's affordable and does the job! I love that it is 8 quarts. I can finally fit large roasts in it, and lots of liquid if needed. The “pot” itself is removable for easy cleaning, too!

FREEZER MEALS!

Crock pots and freezer meals have seen me through some hard times {morning sickness and major surgery} — and helped me prepare for happy times {like a new baby}! They are my secret weapons to meal planning and getting dinner on the table. In fact, they have their own chapter in my book, Sanity Savers for Moms. (If you don't already have a copy of my book, I'd love to get a copy to you. Just click here for details.)

One of the books I have on my recipe shelf is my friend, Jessica Fisher's Not Your Mother's Make-Ahead and Freeze Cookbook. It's filled with great recipes and tips on how to create freezer meals. Yum!

My friend, Erin Chase, has an awesome new program for creating easy freezer meals called “MyFreezEasy.” Be sure to check it out if you are looking to simplify your freezer meals: HERE. She has some great resources — including a new course on how to use an Instapot. Have you heard of them? It's an electric pressure cooker. Crazy. I'm totally new to them. They are apparently AMAZING! I plan to check out Erin's course to learn more about them.
