I have fixed all of the meals for The Husband today, and I wrote out a schedule for him to follow while at work in the evenings.  Here's what he ate today. It was far easier than I thought it would be, and everything was provided for us except the snacks.  Breakfast - chocolate (not his favorite, but he said it wasn't bad. I may add in some frozen raspberries occasionally.) Snack - (salted/roasted - no oil) - about three and a half hours later  Lunch - (I found the package of 5 fillets in the frozen section. They were a huge hit. Yay for coupons! I added a teaspoon of olive oil to his mashed potatoes and a teaspoon to his green beans for his portion of good fats.) Snack - pistachios and apple slices Dinner - vanilla with a handful of frozen strawberries (he loved it--we'll definitely be ordering some individual containers of this flavor next month to help maintain!) So that was his first day. We also took his measurements and weight ...

Oh, y'all.  As a mommy to an 18 month old and an almost 6 month old, I feel I'm fairly busy.  The days The Husband works afternoons-into-evenings are definitely the hardest for me. It's really nice to have help with dinners, baths, and bed-time routines. But, there are three days when I do those things on my own, and in order to preserve a small amount of my sanity, I make a crockpot meal for one of those nights (and we eat the leftovers the next night). Today, Monday, happens to be one of those days. I'm tired already thinking about tonight, haha! Anywho.  One of my all-time favorite crockpot recipes came from this website ,  which I found on Pinterest.  I changed it up, and we all love it. This morning, The Husband saw I was getting out the ingredients before he headed to work, and he left with a grin on his face. (Side note - I'm not a huge fan of meat, but if you are, check out her recipe instead. Or use mine and add whatever meat you want!)....
