Oh, WOW! I have two children who are ALWAYS hungry. I mean seriously. I can do NOTHING to fill them up. Would you care to know which ones? I wonder if you can guess. I'm not going to tell you. I want you to guess. I'd be super surprised if you could figure it out. My starving children are not who you'd think. Go ahead, guess.
Anyway, those words are what just entered my room as I'm writing this. Timing is everything. Just as my mind is on food, so are this child's. Oh, but wait....they always are on this child's, so no big surprise.
I am in the process of creating a menu for crockpot dinners for each week of the year. I'm trying not to repeat them. So far I have completed 32 weeks of dinners. This coming week is week #21. Here is the menu and the shopping list for you.....

So, just a couple of additional notes. I, personally, will not be buying all of the ingredients for the meatballs. I can get a bag of them for less than $2, so making them myself is an utter waste of time.
What you see here is only the items needed for these dinners. With my crew, it's just a given that I at least double everything if not triple. There are additional items that I buy weekly, but I figure every household buys different things, so I have left these items off. If you're interested in my weekly shopping list for breakfasts and lunches, just ask (leave a comment either here or on Facebook), and I'll include that here as well.
Enjoy!
