I just love all the foods of Fall! The crispy, crunchy fruits and vegetables go so well with the heartier menus for the cooler evenings. Time to bring out the crock pot for delightful soups, stews, and slow-cooked meals.
Because I know that you are as busy as I am, I have included two different 'cook once - eat twice' meals this week giving you four meals for the main cooking of two! I like 'cook once - eat twice' because it saves time and money. The trick is making the second dish completely different than the first so your family won't think they are getting leftovers.
I hope you have a great week!
