Resolution for more family time? Try these slow cooker recipes! - PTPA

It?s a new year and it?s time for some new ideas to help your family stay organized, healthy and most of all, spend more time together!

At momstown, we believe in making cooking simple and allowing for more time to do arts and crafts, homework and quality time with the kids playing!? One way we ?momstown moms? love to create more balance in our lives, is with our faithful slow cooker!?

Reasons I Love the Slow Cooker:

1. It can cook all day while I work!

2. It is a healthy and simple?alternative on those crazy days when you rush to your kid?s programs and head for the drive thru.

3. My husband thinks I slaved over the stove?but I really went for a manicure while dinner was cooking!

4.? It is one?pot to clean!

5. My kids love to help with the prep work- it is easy and safe for them.

6. There are incredible recipes on Pinterest and spice packages in the grocery store to add to your own imagination!
