Mom-On-The-Go {The Goto List}

Let’s talk meals. Three a day if you’re a stay-at-home mom. That’s twenty-one meals a week. Now I don’t cook for each meal and if you do, I bow down! HAHA! That’s a lot of cooking!

I have a difficult time just coming up with evening meals. So as a Mom-on-the-go I needed a list to help me when my brain just can’t think of another thing. I needed a list when I’m feeling uninspired. I needed a list when I’ve had a long day, or week.

{we are vegetarian so when you see “meat” items they are soy based or handmade alternatives}

I suggest making this list with your hubby. Get him to agree that whenever you cook from the list he will be happy and enjoy the meal! I love to cook when I know the meal is appreciated…who doesn’t?!
I also suggest that there be a few more labor intensive and a few really simple meals.
Thirdly, most of the ingredients should be readily available in your pantry. That’s another reason why “the goto list” is great!

In honor of keeping things simple I thought I would share a quick crock pot recipe. It may not be the healthiest meal, but its delicious and great on occasion:

Place in the crock: 2 cans cream of celery, 2 cans cream of mushroom, 1/2 container of sour cream, 1 packet of dry onion and mushroom soup mix. Add meatballs of choice. Cook on high 3-4 hours.

This is great over pasta or rice. If you would like a veggie I think peas, carrots, or edamames would taste yummy.

Hope you have a great 4th of July!
