Hey Friends! How’s it goin?
As I mentioned last week, during exam time, I need as much help as I can get in the healthy meal department. When I’m worrying about studying and final grades, I don’t always have a lot of time to spend on making sure I’m eating right. Having healthy snacks on hand is great, but you do not want to know how many time granola and muffins were my main meals last week because that’s all I prepped.
So this morning I decided to take some time out for cooking some quick and easy recipes and randomly came across my Crock Pot. One of my old roommates gave me a crock pot when I was leaving back in August, and I have yet to use it. Crock Pot meals would be easiest things ever to make during this time. Just throw ingredients in the slow cooker and forget about it for a few hours. And voila, you’ve got a meal.
So, as usual, I took to pinterest for some crock pot inspiration and here’s what I’ve got for ya!

Confession: I don’t have a crockpot. And what’s even worse is that I’ve been -meaning- to get one for the past 2 years or so, but I still haven’t gotten around to it 😆 I know — horrible. I love the idea of having one, but I just feel like it makes such a huge amount of food that I wouldn’t know what to do with later. Leftovers stress me out!

I love slow cooker recipes! I have pinned a few from your list– always looking for inspiration to put in the pot. I love putting together a crockpot meal and putting in the fridge the night before, and then having whoever is home at lunch time throw it on. Coming in the door in the evening and having the house smell amazing is such a treat!

Great sesame soup recipe!
I’m now gonna try to make it before my GF gets home (I’m in the dog house for forgetting our anniversary!!!) This is her favorite so hopefully it will do the trick.
Keep up the great work!
