This week it is cold and rainy. At least here in Houston. I just want soup and crock pot meals. When I plan my meals, I start with the protein part of the meal because that is the most expensive. I look to see what is on sale and then make my plan.

- Kroger / Holmes Smoked Sausage $3 package

I was just sitting here at work thinking….what to make for dinner? You answered my prayers. Living in a congested traffic area, I work all day and spend a ton of time in traffic trying to get home. Crock pot meals guarantee my family gets a hot meal without wasting my time in the kitchen on top of an already long work day. Thanks for posting. I am going to try all of them 🙂
PS – we try to purchase the reduced meat regularly and then place it in the freezer until needed. I too have Italian sausage in the freezer thanks to a Safeway deal with coupon a few weeks ago 🙂
Same here, love, love, love my crock pot!
I use the same Zuppa toscana soup recipe. LOVE it!
Hi Tiffany =
thanks again for posting your weekly menu with recipes. My family has enjoyed every single yummy meal 🙂
I am so glad to hear that!
