If you don’t have the Eat Right Away: Slow Cooker Editions, I humbly suggest that you get them now. I am not even kidding when I tell you that I just spent only 30 minutes recently prepping 7 slow cooker chicken meals for my freezer.
The geek in me discovered that this averaged out to be 4.285714 minutes of work per meal. I don’t know how anything could be easier – except for the fact that now 7 different times, I can pull out a bag and dump it into my crock pot, then walk away and have a meal for my family 6-8 hours later. So yeah. That’s easier. I am loving this.
Above is a picture of Malachi eating strawberries and a piece of carrot cake at the table while staring peacefully out the window. Love him. It is also a picture of some of the ingredients I grabbed out of my pantry, plus the freezer baggies I labeled so that I could be super efficient as I worked my way through the Eat Right Away: Slow Cooker Chicken Edition directions.
Apparently I thought the whole shebang was going to take so long that I wouldn’t possibly want to walk three extra steps to get out the olive oil in the midst of all the work. This undoubtedly saved me four seconds, giving me the edge on prepping so many meals in so little time. Rock on, olive oil. Thank you for being there when I needed you.
Just look at these beauties, will you? Seven freezer bags of chicken crock pot meals – made in less time than it takes to make a list of all the things it takes 30 minutes to do. For real.
Next I work my way through the Crock Pot Beef Edition. Details to come.
Check out all the Eat Right Away Packets here. Save so much time and money! Love, love love. Want the carrot cake recipe? Trust me, you do. You can get that here.
My family is enjoying the crockpot meals soooo much! I Was able to share the black bean and salsa chicken meal with a single mom and her kids and then share the recipe with her. She had a crockpot she had never used before! Thank you!!
I’ve just been thinking lately how I need to work on crockpot meals. They rock!
Just wondering how adaptable your crockpot chicken recipes would be to using a whole chicken. We raise our own meat so that is all I have to work with. Thank you so much for the wonderful blog you provide. I have been reading your posts for quite some time now!
I’ve just downloaded this and (two of your other “Eat Right Away” packets) and am super excited to stow away a bunch of meals in the freezer in time for the busy school year to begin. Thanks Laura!
