When I get in a real cooking mood, I use all three of my Crockpot's, I have something cooking in the oven (usually lasagna) and have a couple of skillets going with black bean & rice and a recipe for barley mulligan. I try and cook enough for an entire month and then freeze it all. My husband has gotten really picky about what he will eat, so usually I get to enjoy my cooking all to myself. It's not that I'm a horrible cook, he just has a VERY sensitive stomach. He usually ends up eating chicken and veggies.
