I have zumba one night at 6:15 and TRX another night at 6:20.  so by the time I get home it is almost 8 and I am hungry.  I do a snack before I go and take a protein fruit drink for while I am exercising and the way home but I need something ready when I walk in the door.  I do chicken with soup or salsa in the crock pot, beef round steak or eye steaks and onion soup mix in the crock pot but what other things are folks doing.  I could eat the same thing over and over, but DH likes some variety.  My usual meal is meat and a veggie, DH adds toast if he wants more.  I have stuck a potato in the crock pot with whatever else is cooking for him and he likes that.  So ideas anyone????

How about healthy meatballs in the crock pot(I made them Friday) and if you buy the fresh pasta in the refrigerated section it cooks in only a few minutes. Your husband could have the pasta, you could have some veggies and everyone is happy!

thanks.  i forget about meatballs.  I did think I could do a meatloaf in the crockpot.  Never have but it should work.

Pork tenderloin! Oh baby, you would love it! We had it the other evening and tonight we will have the left overs as BBQ. Them on a sandwich and me on the plate. It just melts in your mouth.

I've got one in the freezer.  I think I will do that tonight.  Thanks.  I always brown then up in the oven for 14 min and so I never think about the crock pot for one.
