Knowing ahead of time that you’re going to have a busy day can play havoc with your dinner menu. Often times we used to simply go out to eat, or go to the store and buy something “quick and easy” for dinner. The problem with this is that you invariably spend too much when going out. The same is also true for last minute shopping – shopping on an empty stomach is never a good thing because you always spend more than you intend.
On those nights that you know you’re going to have a busy day, plan ahead and throw something in the slow cooker! My wife usually makes this recipe (or something similar), but she bakes hers. With this recipe, it’s made ahead of time, plus you’ll have leftovers that are awesome with eggs and sausage for breakfast!
