Why you will love making dinner in your Crockpot once a week.
If you take 20 minutes in the morning after everyone is settled for a day of school or work or while you are making lunch you will not believe how good it feels when you smell at 5:00 dinner cooking knowing all the work is done. You will think as I do, why do I not use my slow cooker/ crockpot more often.

Using your crockpot is a simple budget friendly way to not feed your family fast food. While our family loves fast food, and as a mom, it is so easy to run out and grab dinner, we can not hide from the fact that making fast food a habit will affect the whole family’s health.
Instead, make it a habit to make a slow cooker dinner once a week. You free up your evening without harming your and your family’s health. When dinner time comes it almost feels like someone made dinner for you.
