I found a bunch of new to me crockpot recipes that include a shopping list. After looking at most of it, I realized that I would only have to buy the meat for most of these. I did want to do a taste test before stocking the freezer with these items. I also realized that some are just as easy to prepare the morning of or the night before. So far all three have been good but I will most likely only repeat two, the Mexican chill and Honey Sesame Chicken.<\/p>\n<p>Breakfast- Saturday\u2013 Pancakes- with leftovers for several additional mornings this week. Sunday-I made an egg frittata with lots of veggies for me and biscuits for the kids and Matt. . Monday- Left-over egg frittata (the kids tasted mine on Sunday and wanted to finish it on Monday). Tuesday, Thursday, Friday\u2013 Choice of any available left-overs, oatmeal, grits, cereal, toast or eggos waffles.\u00a0 Wednesday- baked oatmeal of some form.<\/p>\n<p>Lunch\u2013Saturday-Olive Garden (special treat) Sunday-Cranberry Roast with mixed veggies.\u00a0 Monday\u2013 Potato soup for kids and a can of soup for me.\u00a0 Tuesday\u2013 hummus and dip for me , Kendall and Zach had egg salad sandwiches , Wednesday-Thursday and Friday- uncrustables for the kids.
