]]> Just a few weeks ago I hosted The Carnival of the Recipes and the theme was Mexican dishes.  This week’s theme is crockpot recipes.  I know you Thrifty Mommies like those easy recipes.  They allow some extra time to spend with our families . . . or a little time to relax every once in a while (not today for me!).

The carnival is hosted by Slow Cooker Recipes.  I’m looking forward to trying the Sweet & Sour Chicken.  There are many crockpot recipes, including desserts, that sound yummy!  Enjoy!

]]> macaroni and cheeseMy husband really likes baked or slow cooked macaroni and cheese.  He cannot stand the instant boxed kind.  Today I was really glad that a friend sent this recipe to me for crock pot mac & cheese.  Hope you enjoy! 

1 – 8 oz. box of macaroni noodles, cooked and drained
3 c. grated cheddar cheese (use mild and/or sharp, according to taste)
3 eggs
1 lg. can evaporated milk
1 stick butter (melted)

Combine eggs, milk, and melted butter in mixing bowl.  Pour over cooked and drained macaroni in crockpot. Stir.  Add two cups of cheese and stir.  Cover the top with remaining cup of cheese.  Cook on low for 2  1/2 – 3 hours.  Absolutely delicious!!

Another time saving tip:  You may want to spray your crock pot with cooking spray before adding the ingredients.  This will probably help with clean up time.

Here are some other macaroni & cheese recipes I found online.  Good comfort food.  Yummy!

]]> 5 minutes for momI was doing some web surfing tonight and found a blog called 5 Minutes for Mom.  It is written by twin stay at home moms.  You should check out their site.  On their site they also have a bunch of other blogs listed. 

So, I am reading blogs listed on 5 Minutes for Mom and really enjoying what I’m finding . . . and then I’m wondering where the time went and wondering why I’m not in bed yet!!  Does that sound familiar to you?  I think I need to take Robyn’s name Sleepy Blogger and make it my own!

Anyway, I came across another blog that I thought you thrifty mommies might enjoy.  Diary of a SAHM is, well, the diary of a stay at home mom.  Go figure!  LOL  Sandra blogs about kids, the weather, recipes, television shows, being cranky, and anything else that goes on in a mommy’s life. 

chicken stewSandra had a recipe on her site that looked pretty yummy.  On Thursdays, she posts crock pot recipes.  This week’s recipe is Chicken and Mushroom Stew. 

I was just saying how much time I spend in front of the computer without even realizing it.  You should read Simple Balance Technology & Resource II, found at Holly’s Corner.  She reminds us that in the midst of all the technology around us, it is still important to prioritize our lives, prepare by getting our work done, and live life.  The chores can wait, but your kids will always be there.  It was a great reminder for me.

Be sure to visit Holly’s Corner.  She and her husband also have a site called Hope to Adopt.
