As a management consultant, I travel a lot for work however I try to minimize disruption to my household. When I am home, I enjoy cooking for my family because I think it is healthier and I like to try new things. So, when I am away I don't want them to revert to takeout for dinner every night. Not only would this be expensive, it would not be nearly as healthy as the organic farm fresh food I typically prepare. This week, I will only be out of town for a couple of days so I prepared a couple of dishes. I made lasagna roll-ups when essentially have the same ingredients as regular lasagna with a slightly different prep.

I also cooked curry chicken which I threw in the crockpot as we were on our way out the door to a Memorial Day cookout.
Though I cook a lot, I have a general rule that my time in the kitchen should not exceed 30 minutes for a meal unless it is a truly special occasion. So the crockpot is a perfect solution. My weekly cookup includes meals that reheat well and make good leftovers. Let me know if you have any suggestions to add to my repertoire.
