[quote=Anonymous]I actually have never had luck with the slow cooker.  The food, particularly meats, just do not taste good to me.  What I find really helps with weeknight dinners is menu planning.  I have created a word document of my favorite go to recipes and I will look through it every week and make a plan of the meals for the upcoming week.

Once a week I use a prepared food from the supermarket like a rotisserie chicken or freshly prepared pasta and serve it with a side salad.  Also on Sundays during the winter months, I try to use my dutch oven to prepare a large pot of a dish that can be reserved for another meal during the week (soups, chili, curry).  This leaves me with only 3 meals to prepare during the week and as long as I keep them simple, I find this manageable.  I also LOVE my Zojirushi rice cooker, it is expensive but completely worth it for me b/c my entire family loves rice.

The first few weeks of cooking regularly were difficult but it became much easier once I got in the habit and had a cycle of easy recipes.  Good luck![/quote]
