The husband is traveling on business, which leaves my days and nights over run with work, home, kids and oh, it’s the summer. During the past few weeks, I have tried to use some new strategies to help me get through the days and nights.

The food network is one of my favorite channels to watch,
and it helps me with the ability to make quick fix meals. Everything from fish
and chicken to rice and pasta and can’t forget about the fruits and veggies.
The food network has several shows that are the best at making quick fix meals
“30 minute meals”, “semi-homemade”, “pioneer woman”, and the list goes on and
on. They also provide some really good recipes on the food network website.

Slow Cooker Recipes
I had my slower cooker for two years before I actually used
it. A friend of mine ‘fellow blogger’ was raving about how great it is and how
much time it saves when preparing meals. With all of her convincing I finally
attempted a slow cooker pork tenderloin recipe. It was great, my husband and
kids loved it. They couldn’t believe how short of a time it took to prepare and
then just putting it on the slow cooker for 4 hours. During that 4hours, I
cleaned, did laundry, played with the kids and even read one of my favorite
magazines. Pinterest is also great for slow cooker recipes #Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/
Below are some really good recipes. They
are quick and easy #pork #currychicken #curry #recipes
