No More McDonalds!

With the start of school and all the extracurricular things the kids are in, we are rarely home at supper time. We find ourselves eating out at least twice a week, and sometimes more than that lately. Where we live, and travel to for sporting events, there isn't a big variety in places to eat at. We're limited to McDonalds or Subway usually.

Of course, if given a choice, the kids usually pick McDonalds. I have to say, I'm getting rather sick of McDonalds. You'd get sick of it too if you ate it a couple of times a week! But not only that, I've found that lately, McDonalds has gotten lazy. Their food isn't as good as it used to be, and their choices are limited. The menu never changes, and frankly, I'm bored of it.

Subway is getting old, too. We've had that more times than I care to lately, too. You can only eat a Chicken Bacon Ranch sub so many times before it loses its allure.

I think I'm going to have to break out the crock pot and get some homemade recipes going that can cook and stay hot while we're away. That way, we can save money and eat something better when we get home. Anyone have any good recipes they'd like to share for the crock pot? I'm open to suggestions, please.
