so it appears i've become a bit obsessed with my crockpot again. i love doing a bit of prep earlier in the day and then being able to play with the girls in the afternoon and not worry about stopping to fix dinner. the weather looks like it'll be so much warmer that hopefully we can get outside and enjoy it.
meatless monday : sun dried tomato risotto. a new recipe for us. i love sun dried tomatoes and i love risotto, so it appears that it would be a win/win. not a win/win? cleaning up rice off the floor from around the girls' chairs.
i've selected monday as a night of the week for our family to eat a meatless meal as it tends to be more budget friendly as well as a friendlier option for the environment. my meat and potato eating husband tends to go along with this idea because i also make him a yummy dessert in addition to his meatless meal. what can i say, i'm nice like that.
tuesday : peking pork chops. i haven't made these in awhile, but i know i have pork chops in the freezer to use. should be a budget friendly meal.
wednesday : baked potatoes. this works so well as a mid-week meal as this is an option as are any leftovers in the fridge.
thursday : thai chile peanut meatballs. i failed to make these a couple of weeks ago as i forgot to purchase the meatballs. oops! my dear husband kindly asked if we could actually eat them this week.
friday : pizza.
The meatballs sound great! I might have to add that to our menu next week.

The risotto sounds delicious! I agree, cleaning up rice is not fun. It's one of my son's favourite things to eat and it can be found days later in all kinds of places!
