Ten Crock Pot Dishes: Momma Approved

The Winter had been long and brutal. There have been many days where the kids and I have been trapped indoors due to feet, and I mean feet of snow outside. Don’t get me wrong the first foot or two I loved cooking up my favorite chili’s, soups and comforting dishes while my husband was home from work and the kids were running around. Then it grows old when my husband has had enough time off and has to truck it into the city no matter how much snow is out there. When the schools close at least once a week if not more than that. When your husband spends more time outside snow blowing and shoveling more than he is spending time with the kiddos.

Well day light savings time as passed, it’s currently 6:20pm here and it’s still light out, and a balmy 45 degrees is on the radar for weather this week! So I’m here to share ten of my favorite crock pot recipes to get your through the last of this brutal winter. Throw in dinner, set it, and get out and enjoy some fresh air! I’m all about convenience somedays, there are times when my kids are napping and I’d rather throw something in the crock pot and have it ready when my husband walks through the door. Or how about the days when you actually want to get out with the kids and you don’t feel like cooking dinner come 4pm when your finally getting home? I have those nights too, just because I enjoy cooking and I consider myself a foodie doesn’t mean there are nights when I just want dinner done come 5pm!

Here are ten of my favorite most delicious crockpot meals I can pass on to you. They have been prepared in my kitchen, approved by my family and then cooked again in my kitchen because they were so good!
