So I have decided to make an honest effort using the crock pot.<\/p>\n<p>I love the idea of a one dish meal and  simply adding on a salad or bread or rice.<\/p>\n<p>So I am attempting to make the first meal.  Chicken thighs, carrots, celery, baby potatoes, onions and garlic with some seasonings and stock.  I hope it is yummy!<\/p>\n<p>Another recipe I came across is chicken legs dips in a bit of oil, then dips in seasonings such  rosemary, salt, pepper and chili flakes&#8230; and then tossed in with something like 23 cloves of garlic!  Garlicky Chicken!<\/p>\n<p>So we will see&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Then I can throw in this yummy spaghetti sauce that I found at Costco and add meatballs&#8230;with whole wheat pasta.  I made the switch to the ww pasta and my kids never knew the difference.<\/p>\n<p>Would love some great recipes if you are a crock pot using&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I feel organized already!  I may even try ribs in the crock pot for Friday night.  My kids love ribs!<\/p>\n<p>Alright &#8230; enough of that.  Also looking for a yummy homemade spaghetti sauce recipe&#8230; if you have one that is easy!<\/p>\n<p>All this talk has made me hungry.  SO I am going to bed instead! Goodnight!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the effort to be a bit more relaxed as the kids get home, I am trying to find ways to create meals that do not cause great levels of stress.
