well, well, well. I am back at work which means I will be starving when I come home and kids are screaming for food as well! And since my hubby beats me home when I am on an inpatient rotation I have a solution:
I prepped and froze 10 slow cooker meals. They are a bit on the {not so healthy} side because of canned ingredients. Next time I do this, I will substitute fresh ingredients [which will increase prep time but at least I feel like I am feeding my family healthy nutritious meals]
Here's a pict of the first one I tried: pepper steak.
I give it a 3/5 (average). Hubs gave it a 5/5 (such a sweet man, loves my cooking). It ended up tasting like a regular stew instead of the Chinese pepper steak.
I added sriracha. Check out my kissing koala chopsticks! From Australia too..... Souvenir from an old friend.
I still like the pepper steak recipe from my easy chinese cookbook.
Also, thanks to my lovely sissy for showing me another website for prepping and freezing meals. I use my slow cooker a lot so I definitely appreciate the link. I already found healthier meals on this website and cannot wait to try them out!

I chose my patron saint for 2013 using the saint generator. I asked my husband to participate. I suggested a family patron saint. He asked if we could have a saint for each month. Cooool idea!
We have St. Jane Frances de Chantal for the month of January. Hubs, kids and I will learn about this amazing pious woman all month of January.
If you don't have a saint yet for the month or year -- get one!

Look at these babies:
Scrumptious. Tastey. Yummy.
For babies #1 {ones with peaches!} click
here for recipe
For babies #2 click here for recipe {the chocolate chips are my own addition} I felt like adding some calories to such a healthy muffin. These are made with organic whole wheat and old fashioned oats. Yumm.
Shared these sweeties to a friend/co worker who just had a baby.
