I have been SUCH a slacker lately in the cooking dept. It is still very snowy here so I guess it is a great time to get cooking. It will definitely help get me back on track with Weight Watchers after my 3 week hiatus :) Valentine's day turned into Valentine's Month for me OOPS! Thanks for the kick in the (too chubby for my jeans STILL) butt! I guess I should be inspired. I have been SUCH a slacker lately in the cooking dept.

I definitely use my slow cooker and love it, but will look at those sites as I need new recipes. When I found out it was twins, I bought the biggest upright freezer I could find. I try to keep it stocked, and do as much prep as possible. It is great to go down and pull out a 1 lb bag of already cooked ground meat, or chicken. I also freeze meatballs on a cookie sheet, and then put them in a ziploc. Then I just take out as many as I need! And I ALWAYS cook as much as my pot will hold. I freeze the leftovers for dinner, or for my lunches. We have been sick this week, and have depleted our supply of back-up food...it is time to get cooking and freezing! Great ideas!

I thought things like Let's Dish were silly, back in my pre-child days. I don't know, maybe I thought it was for yuppies who couldn't be bothered to cook. But as someone who LOVES to cook, but has two infants... man, do I love that place! Now, cooking a "real" recipe is a special occasion, but it's nice to have options other than takeout (again).
