We are having a Healthy Crockpot Week here at Stockpiling Moms this coming week! We love using our slow cookers to help allow us more time to be with our kids and get our errands and cleaning done. Winter sports and activities have started for the kids and we need a healthy dinner ready and on the table quick. Enjoy our menu planning ideas. We menu plan because it keeps us from worrying about what is “for dinner”.
It also keeps our budget in line when it comes to dining out. When you menu plan it is important to include a family favorite weekly (and a leftovers or dining out night if desired). We try to make frugal menu plans to keep within our monthly budgets. A helpful tip is to plan meals from your stockpile! Here is a how to get started Menu Planning Monthly. We are participating with Orgjunkie.com.
Healthy Crockpot Weekly Menu Plan:
Monday - Fresh Balsamic Crockpot Chicken, Steamed Broccoli and Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Do you ever have leftovers?? That turn into planned-overs? I had leftover broccoli and cheese mashed potatoes that I turned into broccoli potato soup.

I love a good slow cooker recipe. I've got butternut squash on the menu this week too.
