Full-time working mom & home-cooked meals?

Is it even possible to be a Full-time working Mom, and a FULL-time cook at all meals? Well, in order for my son and me to have the best nutrition, I had to give it a try to find out. So far I will tell you that it does require a whole lot of planning. I'm thinking that may get easier as time goes by and I learn how to fully adjust to the cook ONE, eat Twice plan.

I used to think that it was too much work to plan the meals for the week in advance, but now I see it's just too much work NOT to!!!! When I go shopping I already have a few meals in mind that I'd like to make for the week. Breakfast is pretty simple, as we cycle through the main meals and smoothies but dinners are always a little more of a challenge.

I've been making MORE servings of each meal and freezing in preparation for the days towards the end of the week when I am tired and don't feel like cooking when I get home. I've turned to my crockpot in the past for certain meals, but now I'm beginning to get more creative!!!

This morning before leaving for work I put Turkey Drumsticks in the crockpot, and when I came home I had a delicious dinner waiting for me!!! Here's the recipe in case you'd like to give it a try. IF you do, please be sure to post a comment and give me some feedback. Suggestions are always welcome too!
