I use a lot of crock pot recipes. I have Make It Fast, Cook It Slow and I love it. I've found so many really tasty, super easy recipes. And there are a lot of vegetarian options which is nice because we try not to eat a lot of meat. I have the second Make It Fast cookbook on my wish list and can't wait to get it.
I also try to plan out my meals to fit together, or so at least a couple of them fit together. For example, this week I can make a big batch of rice for dinner on Sunday and the the leftover rice becomes fried rice on Monday night. I like it when my meals fit together and do double duty to cut down on my time in the kitchen. Plus, when Phee and I get home after work and school, she is one hungry kiddo so it's convenient to have dinner nearly ready.
