Do you need to get dinner DONE?

TODAY ONLY GET FEBRUARY AND MARCH MENU PLANS WHEN YOU PAY FOR JUST ONE MONTH ~ ORDER NOW TO GET THE BEST PRICE!!!***

I can't even tell you how thankful I am to have dinner done today! 

And because I'm all organized over here (ahem.) I even have all my menu plans all put together in a binder . . .

(Thanks for the suggestion, Judy in our free Dinner's Done Facebook group – I loved it!) 

WOOHOOO! 🙂

Tonight's Ham Steak with Slow Cooked Apples and Butternut Squash

Tomorrow's Slow Cooked Brown Sugar Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

Here’s what to expect this week as we finish up our 20 Day Countertop Cooking Challenge (I'm so sad it's almost over!)

• Tuesday 8:45 AM – Slow Cooker Meatballs and Spaghetti Sauce
• Wednesday 8:45 AM – Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken
• Thursday 8:45 AM – Ham Steak with Slow Cooked Apples and Butternut Squash
• Friday 8:45 AM – Slow Cooked Brown Sugar Chicken and Sweet Potatoes
  

If you're still interested in signing up, it's not too late and you'll get access to the new March menu plans too! Here's how the pricing breaks down:

• MONTHLY PLAN:  $10.50 per month when you use the code COUNTERTOP at checkout ($2.62 per week)

Last Week's Freezer Meals

P.S. Please know that I 100% believe you can make your own grocery list and menu plan for free without paying for something like this, but for our family, the convenience  of something like this for less than the cost of a cookbook has been worth every penny. If you're making a menu plan and grocery list on your own I'm so proud of you and just love that option too!

I can't even tell you how thankful I am to have dinner done today! 

I ran around all morning to doctor appointments, and am just now sitting back down to my computer but Mrs. Potts is hard at work and our kitchen smells fantastic.

That gives me just a ridiculous amount of joy. 🙂 

Tonight we'll have the slow cooker thai peanut chicken served over rice along with a side salad, and goodness, what a relief to know that even during a crazy busy day that tiny part is completely taken care of.

I love that.

Do you need to get dinner DONE?

TODAY ONLY GET FEBRUARY AND MARCH MENU PLANS WHEN YOU PAY FOR JUST ONE MONTH ~ ORDER NOW TO GET THE BEST PRICE!!!***

Do you have struggle with dinner on the table?

Does grocery shopping and menu planning and then actually getting dinner on the table completely overwhelm you each week?

Do you throw food away each week because you didn't really have a plan in place to begin with?

Do you spend too many nights going through the drive thru because you just can't get dinner done at home? 

I can help. 

As I shared last week on Facebook live, I grew up in a home where we ate dinner at McDonald‘s 7 nights a week. 

I'm not kidding.

(Okay, sometimes there was a little variety and we'd swing through Wendy's or Arby's, but basically my mom drove us 4 kids through the drive-thru each night because that was the easiest way she knew to get dinner done.)

The truth is, my mom was a good mom who was trying her very best as a single mom raising 4 kids on her own. But at the end of the day she just didn't have the energy to figure dinner out, so through the drive-thru we'd go.

This was me as a junior in high school when I was probably around 190 pounds – it was all I could do not to photoshop this picture to make me look just a little better, but I'm keeping it real here ~ yikes! 

By age 18 I ballooned up to 225 pounds because I just hadn't learned how to eat correctly, but I'm determined that's not going to happen to your family.

***That's why this whole menu planning thing is so very important to me.*** 

The truth is, getting dinner done isn't easy, but I really believe this tool can change how dinner looks in your home.

Because this matters. 

Getting dinner done is so important for so very many reasons, beyond just getting dinner done.

This month as we've done the Countertop Cooking Challenge, I hope you've been encouraged and inspired to get yummy meals on the table for your family.

And I love that I can give you the tools my own mom didn't have to easily get dinner done.

Today's the last day to get access to the Eat at Home Cooks Menu Plans for 25% off regular price. (Use the code COUNTERTOP at checkout.) 

Tonight's Slow Cooker Meatballs & Spaghetti Sauce

The best part?

If you sign up, you'll get access to ALL THREE SETS OF MENU PLANS.

You'll get 6 recipes each week for the slow cooker + a dessert.
6 recipes each week full of whole foods options + a dessert.

Tomorrow's Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken

And, you'll ALSO get 6 traditional recipes + a dessert each week to try out.

Basically, you'll get SEVENTY TWO FAMILY TESTED RECIPES + 6 DESSERTS + MENU PLANS + GROCERY LISTS for as little as $1.21 per week.

And, you'll get both options for either a larger family (5-8) or smaller family (3-4) when you sign up.

I love that.

Here's how the pricing breaks down:

• MONTHLY PLAN:  $10.50 per month when you use the code COUNTERTOP at checkout ($2.62 per week)
• QUARTERLY PLAN: $23.25 per quarter when you use the code COUNTERTOP at checkout ($1.93 per week)
• ANNUAL PLAN: $63 per year when you use the code COUNTERTOP at checkout ($1.21 per week!)

I TOTALLY believe you will save that much every week at the grocery store (and a bunch more by skipping the drive-thru) by trying these menus out.  Our family used the whole foods option last month and we're using the slow cooker option this month, and goodness, they've making getting dinner done EASY.

Last Week's Freezer Meals

If you're a busy working mom, I know getting dinner on the table may be more than you feel like can do, but I promise this will help.

If you've got little ones at home and struggle with enough time to make your grocery list and menu plan, I really think this will make your life easier too.

And if you've been cooking for what feels like forever but just need a few new fresh ideas, I really think this might be just for you.

I really think this is the best money you'll spend all year, and promise it'll be so worth it for you.

P.S. Please know that I 100% believe you can make your own grocery list and menu plan for free without paying for something like this, but for our family, the convenience  of something like this for less than the cost of a cookbook has been worth every penny. If you're making a menu plan and grocery list on your own I'm so proud of you and just love that option too!

I still have one pretty yucky feeling kiddo at home today, so having these recipes pretty much already prepared for me have made for an amazing week. 

I literally thawed out the Maple Apple Pork for about 30 minutes on my counter, dumped it in Mrs. Potts, and dinner is done.

I am so excited to have dinner done today!

It's my husband's birthday, and I think he's going to love dinner tonight. We made the Chicken and Gravy from yesterday's freezer plans, mashed potatoes in the Instant Pot (which I'm keeping warm in my crockpot), and I'll mix up a salad and steam carrots tonight in the Instant Pot at dinnertime.

(By the way, did you catch this deal on the Instant Pot going on today? Great price while it lasts, and after making mashed potatoes in it today I'm hooked!)

Since my littlest is sick I'm about to go spend some time taking care of her, and my friend Shannon and I are planning to do a Facebook Live coupon chat today at 4PM Eastern Time today. (We'd sure love for you to join us!)

Last Night's Slow Cooker Minestrone Soup

OH MY GOODNESS.

I did my first freezer cooking ever today, and goodness gracious, I had no idea it would be that easy!

Today's 5 Freezer Meals

In less than an hour, I have 5 slow cooker meals for my freezer done. 

WOOHOOO!

All I did was use the Eat at Home Cooks Menu Plan and Grocery List (which made grocery shopping so easy using the Kroger Click List), pre-chopped up my peppers and onions, and I got 5 dinner's done with hardly any work.

Success. 

I'm using Week 8 of the Slow Cooker Meal Plans if you've signed up for them, and just can't recommend them highly enough.

Happy Monday!

I am reeling after just getting home from our trip to Deer Valley, Utah last week (we got home yesterday afternoon and goodness, I'm worn out!) But, I am so thankful because thanks to our Countertop Cooking Challenge this month I ordered my groceries online using Kroger's Clicklist Saturday night from our hotel room, and today DINNER IS DONE.

WOOHOOOO! 🙂 

Tonight's Slow Cooker Minestrone Soup

I'm also super excited because tomorrow morning I'll try freezer cooking for the first time (I'm so curious if it works!), and I love that we'll have dinner made for 5 meals in under an hour.

Success.

Today is my Sweet Caroline's 14th birthday (crazy – when I first started blogging she was just 7 years old!), so I'm baking a cake for her right now and we made these almost homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast.

Because this is freezer cooking week, our challenge will be a little different as we start the week. Here's what to expect: 

• Monday 8:45 AM – SLOW COOKER MINESTRONE & HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS ON FACEBOOK LIVE (the video is over but you can still watch the replay!)
• Monday 10:00 AM – FREEZER COOKING LESSON (my friend Tiffany from Eat at Home Cooks shared how to start freezer cooking ~ the video is over but you can still watch the replay)
• Tuesday 8:45 AM – FREEZER COOKING DAY ON FACEBOOK LIVE! I’ll prepare Slow Cooker Chipotle Beef Tacos, Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy over Rice, Maple Apple Pork, and Chicken Philly Sandwiches to fill my freezer with to use later in the week and on busy weeks in the future
• Wednesday 8:45 AM – DUMP DAY 1 ON FACEBOOK LIVE 🙂 … Dump all the ingredients for Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy in Mrs. Potts
• Thursday 8:45 AM – DUMP DAY 2 ON FACEBOOK LIVE … Dump all the ingredients for Maple Apple Pork in the Slow Cooker + make Easy Mashed Sweet Potatoes (My hubby’s going to love this one!)
• Friday 8:45 AM DUMP DAY 3 ON FACEBOOK LIVE … Dump everything we need to make Chicken Philly Sandwiches in the Slow Cooker + make Simple Potato Salad

If you're signed up for the Eat at Home Menu Plans, all of the groceries you'll need to join us for this week of Freezer Cooking are in the Week 8 Slow Cooker  Menu Plans. 

And, if you haven't joined us but would like to, use the code COUNTERTOP at checkout to save 25% off her menu plans for a few more days ~ we'll be using them this week and next week, and I know you'll love them too!

It's finally here!!!

Starting today, I'm teaming up with my friend Tiffany from Eat at Home Cooks to bring you Crockpot and Instant Pot recipes 5 days a week for 4 weeks, and every single one of us is going to get dinner done.

Today we're making Tiffany's Slow Cooker Jerk Chicken Sandwiches (my kitchen already smells divine!), and I'll serve them tonight with sweet potato fries, carrot sticks and grapes.

Success!

And, if you happen to have an Instant Pot, Tiffany will be making her Round Steak with vegetable gravy at 3PM Eastern Time on Facebook as well, so you'll have oodles of new recipes to make.

During the February 2017 Countertop Cooking Challenge we'll give you 4 weeks of recipes, including grocery lists and menu plans, and Tiffany and I will be cooking them up each day right up with you. 

Here's how our daily schedule should look: 🙂

• 8:40-8:45 AM Eastern Time – I'll be doing a Facebook Live Video showing how to make the recipe each morning (during the video you can tap the ‘follow' button and you'll get updates each time PPP goes live ~ and I would absolutely love if you were on the other side of the screen filling up Mrs. Potts so we can “cook” together!)
• 1:30 PM Eastern Time – Blog post here on PPP with a replay of the video as well as links to recipes
• 2:30 PM Eastern Time – Daily email goes out to regular email subscribers with all the info
• Between 4:30 – 6:30 PM Eastern Time (POSSIBLY! depends on family schedule) quick update over on Facebook with pic or live video of recipe
• My friend Tiffany from Eat at Home will also share on Facebook Live how to make several of these recipes in the Instant Pot in the afternoons

It's not too late to join us!

For a few more days, Tiffany is offering us the lowest prices she's offered on her menu plans with the code EARLYBIRD at checkout.

HERE’S WHAT YOU'LL GET WHEN YOU SIGN UP:
