Hi there Slow Cookerers and happy Friday of a 3-day weekend!

My hope is that you have something fun for yourself on the agenda. :-)

One of the reasons I love my crockpot so much is because at my core, I'm awfully lazy.

I found that it was really difficult for me to think of new dinner ideas when the kids were little and hungry all the time --

for me, plopping food into this magical machine and then pushing a button was just such a no-brainer way to feed them.

It turns out, I'm not alone in this --

Delinda, a longtime reader, wrote to me this past week and shared how cooking for her family of 6 is so much easier once she began implementing the meal plans and grocery lists:

Hi Steph,

I hope this message finds you well. I've been meaning to tell you how the meal plans have made life so much easier!

Each week, I sit down with the family and go over the calendar and see which nights are busy with school plans, sports , etc. Once I know our week, I pick out a meal plan  and makechanges to fit our taste and allergies (one son has nuts, other has dairy).

Then, I plug the shopping list into my grocery app and schedule delivery. The night before or the morning of, I plop into the crockpot.

We are saving time and money, but I think this might even be saving my sanity! I don't even grocery shop any more!

Thanks again
