Hmmmm...too SOMETHING to cook.

OK, OK, those that know me know my job does usually allow me time to cook (though, sadly, not always the inspiration) something good. I try to time meals so when the kids get home from swimming (or Scouts, Soccer, Cross Country or any of the things kids do). I want everyone, if at all possible, to sit down and have dinner together, or at least at the same time.

And it's not all that hard, even when I was working away from home 60+hours a week. A slow-cooker seems like a must for busy families. Do a little planning. Cook ahead. A real cooked meal that is made on a "quiet" night and put in the fridge for heating up later usually better than shortcut foods. I roasted two chickens sunday just so I could make chicken salad and broth for the week. Two dinners and two lunches in one sunday afternoon.
