Simple & Easy Crock Pot Recipes

Simple & Easy Crock Pot Recipes

Ever since having my first son, Blake the crockpot has become the most used household item! I swear up and down by this bad boy! It truly can cook anything. All you have to do is throw a few ingredients in turn it on and its that EASY!

 Being a mom we are constantly going 24/7 and never have a chance to just relax. Lets admit it who really wants to clean up dinner after they have had a long day at work or a long day taking care of your little ones. I certainly don't. So thats why the crockpot is truly our BEST FRIEND.

It doesn't help when I am a Pinterest addict. I could spend all day on there if you let me (Well, I sorta do). But anyways I scoured Pinterest for new crockpot recipes to add to me recipe book. I feel like some recipes want you to add a ton of off the wall random ingredients so I put my own spin on them or as I call it "more user friendly" 

Below I have listed my own versions of the crockpot recipes we make! Since its just me and my husband eating I make the meals smaller.

You'll notice  I use breast or tenders. Typically we only use the tenders (we just happen to prefer those better) but the breasts will make a larger serving.

All of these recipes can be turned to high and cooked for 4-6 hours or on low for 8-10 hours

I pre prep all of the meals. It truly makes it that much easier. It takes about 1-2 hours to prep. I pour all of the ingredients into a Ziploc bag and place in the freezer. I defrost them the night before or thaw them in the morning under running water.
