Healthy Meal Plan Friday: Busy Mom's Menu

Trying to get into a new routine of working part-time outside the home is an exciting challenge…with an emphasis on the "challenge" part of providing a healthful, crowd-pleasing meal.

Last week, when I found myself twice prepping items for the slow cooker around 9pm, so they could be tossed into the slow cooker first thing in the morning before I left for work at 7:45, it hit me:  how would I feel if I was working full-time?

Full-time working moms of the world, I stand in awe.

For all of you who work full-time, come home, feed your family, and then reset to do it all over the next day, you amaze me.  

Here are some meals, all of which can either be made in the slow cooker, prepped almost fully the night prior or made quickly when you get home in the evening.

Here's Next Week's Healthy Meal Plan:
