Does the thought of prep, freeze, dump, crock and eat tempt you? If the photo doesn’t, then maybe fix it and forget it will. I set the timer for six hours on low and my crock pot does its thing. I mean it cooks the delicious one dish meal while I’m running errands, circles around children, folding laundry and blogging. What more could I ask for?
Hopefully, I have a thawed bag of cooked rice or noodles which I’ve frozen. I microwave a thawed bag for five minutes on 70% power and I’ve got dinner on the table in FIVE minutes when I walk in the door. Oh the pleasure of a freezer kit.
