Hi! We have a lot of dinner time activities this winter so I am going to be leaning on my slow cooker once to twice a week.   We are continuing our our 12 holiday treats this week!

Have a great week

Day 1: Instant Pot or Slow Cooker Cozy Chicken & Wild Rice Soup 

Note this is the first time I am trying this recipe.  I am going to skip the fried butter and sage at the end.  Update 12/8: this was fabulous but I adapted a lot – I am going to make again and post.

Day 2: Meatless Meal: Sheet Pan Baked Feta with Roasted Veggies & Crispy Gnocchi – making this a 1 pan meal!

Day 3: Slow Cooker Meatballs with Spaghetti & Spaghetti Squash and simple raw veggies or salads

Note: This is great on a night we are eating at different times.  I have frozen meatballs I am using with a jar of Raos.  I will cook the spaghetti squash on top.

Day 4:  Sheet Pan Chicken Sausage & Peppers, String Beans & Onions with rolls or my weekly loaf

I am adapting this recipe.

Flex Meal: Apple Cheddar & Bacon Bread, Scrambled Eggs and a Simple Salad

Note: I am excited to try this bread recipe it was in southern living and I cannot find online.  If you want to try it as well please email me and I will send over the details.

Baking 1:  Holiday Treat #2: Snowballs

Baking 2: Snack or on the go breakfast: Sweet Potato Gingerbread Loaf
