~Our Menu~

I've missed having this on the site.  Can't tell you how many times a week I go fishing for my menu after someone decides it needs to be colored on :-)

I've been looking for a lot of crock pot meals (.... anyone want to share any family favorites?)   Like the whole meal in the pot, so at dinner time the prep work has been done hours earlier.  No make noddles or a veggie for the side.  Nada.  Dinner time can be kind of crazy as the girls (and Matt) get hungry and their worst starts to show.  3 days a week Miss Hensley is being picked up just before the crazy-ness starts (and some times right in it!). It's become a mad scramble to get dinner on the table before anyone dies of hunger, melts or goes off the deep end.  (So that's a little exaggerated, but you get the point.  Getting dinner in hungry bellies is critical.)

(Note: FM=Freezer meal *= double meal, one to eat, one to freeze for freezer meal, CP=Crockpot)

CP  Shepherds Pie.  Never made a Shepherds Pie in a crock pot, so we'll see how this goes.  I love making Shepherds Pie because it's a meal that we don't have to buy ANYTHING for.  We have all on hand thanks to our garden!
