Eat at Home Cooking Challenge

 

 

I'm sooooooo excited about our Eat at Home Cooking Challenge staring this Monday, 2/11/19!

During the February 2019 Countertop Cooking Challenge I'll be cooking with you all week long using my friend Tiffany's Eat at Home Menu Plans and grocery lists (they just make my life as a crazy-busy-working-momma easy!)

 

 

The best part? 

 

Tiffany's offering us 30% off her menu plans with the code COUNTERTOP at checkout if you sign up this week.

 

I know you're going to just love these. 

 

Can you imagine going to the grocery store, buying oodles of groceries, and then just dumping a few of those bags of groceries in the trash?

 

You might just be doing that. 

 

 

 

If you missed my Facebook Live you can watch it HERE. 

So many people (myself included sometimes!) head to the store without a plan in place, buy things they may not use, and things end up getting wasted and thrown away ~ literally 25% of food in America is thrown away each year. 

 

But you and I are going to fix that by getting dinner DONE with a simple, EASY plan in place this week.

 

I promise, these will save you a bundle, and I just know you're going to love these menu plans as much as I do.  I can't wait to cook with you this week!

During the February 2019 Countertop Cooking Challenge I'll be cooking with you for a whole week including grocery lists and menu plans, and Tiffany and I will be cooking them up each day right up with you. 

 

 

Annddd … just for today, Tiffany is offering us the lowest prices she's offered on her menu plans 30% off with the code COUNTERTOP at checkout.

 

Can you imagine going to the grocery store, buying oodles of groceries, and then just dumping a few of those bags of groceries in the trash?

 

You may just be doing that.

But you and I are going to fix that. 

 

Crocktober wrapped up last fall, but back by popular demand we're doing a very similar series this February called the Countertop Cooking Challenge. (I think you're going to love it!) We're going to have a menu plan, grocery list, and recipes all pulled together before the week even starts.

 

Starting Monday, 2/11/19, I'm teaming up with my friend Tiffany from Eat at Home Cooks to bring you Crockpot and Instant Pot recipes, and every single one of us is going to get dinner done.

 

To make your life waaaayyyyy easier (and mine too!) we'll use Tiffany's Eat at Home Menu Plans ~ which I've been using in our home and they're just fantastic.

I promise, these will save you a bundle!

 

In fact, people who shop with a menu plan and grocery list save 25-50% every single week on their food expenses.

 

And, a menu plan all of a sudden makes grocery shopping easy.

Best of all?

 

You'll actually eat well balanced meals with what you have in your kitchen and skip the drive thru.

 

Sound good?

 

I thought so too. 🙂

My Instant Pot is now sitting on keep warm, noodles are ready to be added before dinner tonight, and I'm going to try making Tiffany's Instant Pot Mac & Cheese on Monday (I can't even wait ~ my 17 year old will be in heaven!) You can find the recipe for the Slow Cooker Parmesan Soup we made this morning in the Instant Pot in the Traditional Plan week of March 26th, and I know you'll love this one.

 

 

In case you've been on the fence this week about trying out the Eat at Home, don't forget that for a few more days only you can save 25% off the Eat at Home menu plans (which I just love!) with the code COUNTERTOP at checkout.

 

 Countertop Cooking Challenge

I dumped the slow cooker chicken vegetable soup in the crockpot this morning because that bag was full, and am making some homemade bread and salad to serve with it. (My ninja is getting a workout this week!)

 

If you've ever thought about trying out freezer cooking, I promise these meals will change your life (and I love that Tiffany includes a set of freezer meals each month in her menu plans!) After doing them over the summer I was completely hooked, and absolutely love how a little bit of prep work makes dinnertime so much easier for me.

PSST! I'm soooo excited about our PJ FREEZER COOKING PARTY TONIGHT ~ are you joining me?

It's day 3 of the Countertop Cooking Challenge, and goodness, my sweet husband is in heaven just having dinner done every night! Honestly, with 3 kids going different ways at night and us running in and out wayyyyy too often I skip making dinner because it's just a wee bit crazy around here, so I think our family personally benefits from our PPP challenges way more than you ever will. 🙂

 

Right this very minute my home is smelling amazing with tonight's Slow Cooker Sunday Dinner Chicken in the crockpot, 

 

and last night we had Eat at Home's Black Bean and Salsa Chicken (which my husband loved! I did need to add a little extra chicken broth but it was really so good and different than anything I'd ever made before.)

 

Today my friend Tiffany from Eat at Home also showed us how to make Korean BBQ Tacos in her pressure cooker today from the Feb 26 Slow Cooker Menu Plans (I'm so excited that she's showing us more Instant Pot tricks – I'm determined to figure this one out one of these days!)

 

If you'd like to join me for the challenge this week, I know you will love the meal plans I'm using! And even if you use you own menu plan and grocery list, I'd love for you to join us because I know just having your meals planned will save your family a bundle this week.

I seriously need to do a Countertop Cooking Challenge every single week in our home!

Last night my hubby got home late from work (and kids were all heading different directions), but it was so nice to easily be able to feed everyone a decent meal when they were home.

 

It takes so little time when someone else does all the planning for you, and dinner was so good! I can't even wait to try out tonight's Slow Cooker Black Bean and Salsa Chicken (my house smells divine), and just love that dinner is done. 

 

My friend Tiffany also showed us how to make Lemon Chicken on a Bed of Sauerkraut from the Feb 26 Slow Cooker Menu Plans (I'm so excited that she's showing us more Instant Pot tricks – I'm determined to figure this one out one of these days!)

I'm so excited to have dinner done today!

My home smells amazing, I just had the yummiest salad for lunch, and I even have 2 loads of laundry tackled for the day.

 

I don't know what laundry has to do with menu planning, but for me it seems like if I get a good handle on meals in our home, every single other thing just gets done too. Whew!

This salad is from the February 5th No Sugar No Flour menus – it's the Eat at Home Cranberry Spinach Salad and ohhhhh so good!

 

My friend Tiffany also showed us how to make Spicy Chicken Soup in the Instant Pot this morning from the Feb 26 Slow Cooker Menu Plans (I'm so excited that she's showing us more Instant Pot tricks – I'm determined to figure this one out one of these days!)
