Does anyone else find it challenging to cook good,healthy meals for your family while juggling all of life's other tasks? I have been relying on the crock pot a lot but have also tried out some new cookbooks and websites for different ideas. I try to share as I can- and thought if I could find the time to create a blog I could add recipes to it and anyone interested could visit the site for ideas. If any of you have recipes to share, send them to me and I will put them in here too.
Happy cooking!
