Out with the old...In with the new!

Here at 2NTM's it has been quite the ride! Sorry it is has been so quiet in our corner of cyberspace, we have had a pretty crazy summer but are ready to get back out there and mingle. My husband I have talked about moving for a few years now but never found just what we were looking for. In June we found the perfect house and moved within a few short weeks, just in time for our oldest to start school. In September we welcomed our 4th child into this crazy world and have been trying to get everything settled in before I begin my last semester of my degree. 

Miss Opal and her family are also running in about 500 different directions these days as well. Her and her husband are full time students and they are getting ready to welcome their 3rd child in November. {WOOHOO!!}. Opal has had some set backs, but she is one tough cookie!! 

Now that I have fully explained my negligence....here is today's topic: {~EASY DINNER RECIPES~} Right before (about 2 days before) we were set to go to the hospital I decided that I needed to prep some dinners for my MIL and FIL so they didn't have to cook while watching our other three and so we didn't have to cook when we got back from the hospital. So, off to Kroger I ran and I stocked up on everything I needed to make 8 different recipes. They are large meals so they have produced two meals each, for the most part. 

I am hopelessly addicted to Pinterest, so this is where I started my search. It was exhausting! There were tons of links that took me to everything BUT what I was looking for, tons of dead links and then when I finally found some recipes they seemed to be gourmet meals that would cost me a ton to make. I was on a budget and needed some family friendly recipes. And then, I found it! The perfect link! ~>http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2012/09/slow-cooker-freezer-meals-make-8-meals.html 
The Six Sisters do all the work for you by giving you recipes with detailed instructions, suggestions on what to serve with them and the ability to print the recipe and a SHOPPING LIST! {<~That was my favorite part!}. All I had to was print and head to Kroger! All of these dinners are amazing and super easy to prep. We had everything labeled and in the freezer within an hour. I hope you enjoy this link as much as I have. Until we meet again.... 

Much love, 
Susan
