Cooking Between Carpools!
Do you have any ideas for this mommy friend?
-----------------------------------------------
OK - so we have a bit of a crazy schedule now as daughter #1 has ballet Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays and every other Saturday, daughter #2 has soccer on Tuesdays and Saturdays and daughter #3 has ballet on Mondays and Thursdays and soccer on Thursdays and Saturdays. (I color coded my planner to keep it all straight.)
Here's my question: do you have any secrets for a working mommy to make for dinner on crazy nights such as these?
I recently bought a crockpot (on sale, of course), so that's a plan for when weather is cooler - soups, casseroles, etc. Tonight, I made pasta salad between school and leaving for practices, so we were able to eat as soon as we got home.
For me, variety is essential in cooking - I get bored so easily. So I would love any other ideas for meals that make it work when soccer and/or ballet run to 6:30 and everyone's not home until 7:00.
Any thoughts, my friend?

My thought is freezer cooking. Taking one day a month to prepare a lot of meals and just then taking them out of the freezer the night before to thaw and then reheat! I haven't really done this myself but I've heard others love it. I'm planning on trying it a bit more now that I have a chest freezer and a 2nd baby on the way! There are also specific cookbooks out there to help with recipes and shopping lists!
