Week 36 - fix it and forget it!

It's back to school time for us!  And if you are anything like me, I'm trying to juggle the chaos of our new schedule.  Enter my favorite trick for saving time: the crockpot!  (Anyone else hear that choir of angels?)  Yup - it's the fix it and forget it solution to your dinner time blues.  If you don't have, it's a must for your Christmas list this year.  I'm trying out a few new recipes this week, all healthy, lean and clean.  Anyone want to join me?  Just check out the links below, make a shopping list, and comment on how your recipes turn out.  I'll blog about my versions later this week.  So who's in?

Happy Cooking!
