    I too struggle with my food choices. I tend to go for quick and easy on school nights: chicken nuggets, mac-n-cheese, frozen pizza. I am really hoping to use my crock pot more so that we can eat healthier.

    I found that if I make a menu for a month I stick with it. I hate the old "what should we have for dinner tonight" conversation because it usually ends with me making a poor choice just to end the conversation. My personal hang up is beer and wine. Empty calories, but so tasty.

    I'm going to try menu planning again. It worked well when I did it last year, but I have all the excuses imaginable as to why I quit.

    I love my crock pot! I've done a whole chicken in it, a pot roast, and an amazing beef stew!

    So good. I added a cup of frozen peas too.

    Try checking pinterest for ideas. They have some good crockpot recipes on there, too.
