One of THOSE days

So today is one of those both kids have sports at the same time sort of days. Riley has gymnastics practice and Denton has swim. They overlap in time so after both of us have worked all day, hubby has to drop off Riley then both of us head to swim for Denton in separate cars because I have to leave swim early to go pick up Riley and then we all meet back home for dinner. Only problem with that is by the time we get home it is near 7 and there is no way we are starting to cook then. And we don't want to eat out, not very many healthy options to grab and bring home. Besides that gets way too expensive!

Crock pot to the rescue!!!

Every month or so I take a few hours on the weekend and I throw together some crock pot freezer meals. Basically toss all the ingredients into a gallon zip lock and label/write cooking instructions with a sharpie and throw into the freezer. I set it out In the fridge the night before and then into the crock pot it goes the next morning. 

When we get home tonight from the double sport night, dinner will be ready and I will be one happy (busy) Mom!
