Crock-tober Week 4

I plum forgot to post on Wednesday. And here we are. Whoops. The good news is because I didn't love the original plan, I was able to switch something to accommodate my Main Man.

What we're eating:

Crock Pot Honey Chicken with Cole Slaw

Cheesy Cowboy Casserole

Amish Lady (not)Noodles with Corn

Apple Cinnamon Pork Loin

Crock Pot Carmel 

The idea is to make a lot of Amish Lady without noodles, and add the noodles after you're done eating. Cook for an hour, and store for later. Ta-da! It's a twofer!

Amish Lady Noodles:

Add everything but the noodles and serve it over mashed potatoes. No one will judge if they are from a box. After your family is full, add noodles until they are just covered in broth and cook for an hour or until they are soft. Refrigerate.

Crock Pot Carmel:
Really simple, but oh so fun! Start it in the morning and your kids will be dipping apples when they get home and you win Awesome Mom award. She says you can add it to a mason jar to cook. Of course I am! I want to see it happen.
