When you work outside the home, there is nothing more valuable than the time you have with your kids when you get done with your work. However, if you are trying to cook more real food, you end up spending that time cooking. This can be great if you kids love to help (like mine now does), however, this wasn’t and isn’t always the case.

I have found it makes things a lot easier if I spend a few minutes in the morning to throw everything into a crockpot and just hit ‘start’. Then when I get home it is all done! Crockpot recipe ideas are helpful, but you know what is even more helpful? A full meal plan and shopping list, right? Great news – scroll down after you check out these amazing crockpot recipes to see a special offer I have for you today – 20% off an amazing meal planning service which can help you start 2014 off right for your family and help you manage it all!

Confession: I am not a fan of most crockpot recipes

I have been hesitant to use my crockpot in the past because I do not always enjoy the recipes I have tried. For some reason, crockpot recipes seem to lack the flavor I desire…it is like the aroma escapes from the lid and so does all of the flavor.
