We all live full, busy lives. We have to eat, and know we should eat healthy, but sometimes we are just too rushed to do more than throw something on the table. But we can do this with just a little planning ahead, with such great results!
The crock pot was a great invention and highly underused in most homes. There are hundreds of recipes to be found in cookbooks and on the internet. Plus, you can develop your own by using what your family likes and what you have on hand. It's great to take a few minutes in the morning and throw things in the crock pot and know that you will have a great dinner waiting when you are ready to eat.
You can have a few friends over, but not work all day getting ready. You can put steaks or chicken on the grill. Or you can never go wrong with hamburgers. Even if you want to fix a casserole ahead and have it ready to go- the way to really enjoy it yourself is to have as much done ahead of time and make it as easy as you can.
While your dinner is "fixing itself", have some fun with your blender and imagination. You can make fruit smoothies, or even martinis with ingredients you would never have thought of! Get a little creative and have fun with cocktails. You can please the chocolate lovers and the non drinkers, too.
The thing to remember so that comfort food is easy, is to plan ahead. You don't have to be fancy, just be smart. Take advantage of all the ways to get great recipes and have fun, instead of dreading to fix one more meal!
