Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama, Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl + Jess from Hello To Fit to create awesome healthy recipes each week! This week’s theme = Make Ahead!
Over the past few months, I’ve been all about crockpot recipes and rice cooker recipes–it just saves me so much time! *-*
Quite unfortunately, I’m going to have veryyyy little time over the next 3.5-ish months to blog because I’ll be on all inpatient rotations and working 6-7 days/week with 12-14+ hour shifts at a time. Am I looking forward to this in the slightest bit? No, not at all, but I’m just going to think of it as a rite of passage as an intern, and hopefully I’ll get a whole ton of learning in!
I made these during the summer when it was still wayyy too hot to turn on my oven. (I was trying to save money so I wasn’t using the AC and the thought of adding to that heat with the oven was just a no-go.) The things I do to save money…but at least it forces me to get creative?!
These are super simple to make and very, very versatile, but I’d definitely recommend lining your crockpot with parchment paper if you don’t want an easy cleanup afterward (aka please learn from my mistakes)!

Ooh wow, I would love to cook meals for you, but you look like you’re doing a great job with the crockpot. Some people really know how to master meals and goodies in the crockpot!
MERRY CHRISTMAS FARRAH! :)
