    I cook so much in my crockpot while I am at work so I can get my son dinner as soon as I walk in the house. I do a lot of chicken and vegetables, and healthy soups :)

    Wishing you great success!

    I also agree - the crock pot is awesome, especially in the winter months! You can put so many things together and try just about anything and it is done when you get home from work :)

    Hi busy mom! I am in the same boat.

    Would love to hear from you and others some easy (toddler friendly) recipes, as well as how you are able to fit in exercise!

    I try to walk where ever I can. And always try to plan out dinner the night before. But it's not always easy!

    Good luck!

    Tacos are my quick go to meal. I'll brown some ground turkey and leave it in the fridge- heat it up after work.. plain greek yogurt for sour cream - leave some lettuce, tomatoes, veggies in containers in the fridge, grab some shells and shredded cheese and VIOLA meal :)

    Its really a quick meal takes less than 10 mins

    Hi there. I'm a busy mom too, also on my second go round with losing weight. I managed to get about half way to my goal last year and now I'm starting over and going for the finish line. Would love to share ideas and recipes.
