I Am A Lazy Cook...Freezer Meals

I am not sure if I have mentioned this before but I tend to be a lazy cook. To be honest I am often lazy and I am always looking for the short cut. Especially when it comes to cooking dinner.

So it is no surprise that my favorite appliance in the kitchen is my slow cooker. I love the slow cooker. It makes everything just a little easier.

I do have one complaint about the slow cooker...the slow part. This means I need to start the cooker before I leave for work. And this means I need to get up early to  prepare the food for the slow cooker. And this doesn't work for me....I am a notorious for hitting the snooze button often.

So I was so excited when I discovered Freezer meals for the slow cooker. I have been doing it for a few months and I LOVE IT!!!!

It just makes everything a little bit easier for me.

I have no tips or secrets to make it easier other than to find a movie you like to watch but have seen a dozen times to entertain you while you do it....or have your mom come and visit while you chop chop chop.

This time I did 2 family favoritesand 3 new recipes I found on Pinterest.
