I went on Pinterest and got all of the recipes I thought we would like from 2 blogs. I will post the links with the recipes typed out as well. I like to give credit where it is due.
When it was prep time I went through all of the recipes and got everything I needed and set it out. I think I missed one or two things for the pics but you get the idea. If you have a smaller kitchen (mine isn't huge but I have had smaller) then you may want to utilize the sink and stove top areas as well if you plan on prepping like I did.
Ok so I am a total wimp and hate cutting onions and cilantro and garlic. My loving hubby helped me chop the fruits and veggies. He also cooked the hamburger. Talk about a great guy!
So here are the recipes I used:
Put these ingredients in the bag:
2 cups sweet potatoes
2 cups red and green bell pepper
1 cup carrots
2 cups onion
3 cups zucchini
2 tbsp flour
1.5 lbs chicken
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp salt
To cook:
Thaw in fridge overnight for best results
Dump bag plus one bottle BBQ sauce into crock pot, cook on low for 6-8 hours

It's a great feeling when I can get these meals prepped and ready to go. I love having healthy choices for dinner. Not only are they pretty tasty but so convenient! I get so bogged down during the day that making a good dinner is something I want to do but not something I always have the energy to do.
