When I wrote the menu last week, I decided to give something a try...
I go home for lunch most days, it's a nifty benefit of living and working in the same town. So...why not put together a crockpot meal while I'm there? I chose something easy, Crockpot Chicken Teriyaki. This way, there wasn't chopping of a million ingredients or having to pre-cook anything. And hey, if it didn't come out well, there's always pizza. (my standard answer to bad dinners everywhere)
It came out better than well. It was great! Imagine coming home from work after picking up the kids at school/preschool, to the smell of dinner already cooking. All that was left to do was make rice, steam broccoli and thicken the sauce with a little cornstarch. (We were out so Brian used a tiny amount of flour while I was folding laundry.) Bang! Dinner on the table at 6pm, leaving time for Will and I to finish watching "Goonies."
Hmmm...."Crockpot Monday" may just become a thing!
