Totally out of practice!

So, I'm totally out of practice in regards to blogging, and/or I have prego brain!  I remember telling myself yesterday to get my camera out to be ready to take pics of tonight's meal, but did I do it?  Nope!  Oops! 

Like I said, I've been trying to make meals that we can also freeze for post-baby quick/easy meals, but also I've been trying to make easy enough meals so I'm not on my feet for too long.  Hence, a lot of crockpot use, which I love even when not prego:)  Tonight was BBQ kielbasa in the crockpot with sides of mac and cheese, cornbread, and green beans!  Here's the closest picture I could find:


So easy - buy an uncooked piece of kielbasa, about 1 lb or a little more, slice it just like above, and put it into the crockpot.  Cover it with 1 cup bbq sauce, 12 oz Coca Cola or beer (Coca Cola in our case for now, even if it's just for cooking!), and 1/2 cup brown sugar.  Cook on low 6-8 hours and enjoy!  So easy, not only because there are limited ingredients, but also because it involves ingredients you most likely already have!  Also perfect for a day where I was busy like a bee making our holiday cards for friends and family!

Today's craving of choice - Papa Ginos' Cheesy Breadsticks!  I am usually not a fan of Papa Ginos (sorry to my bff and husband who love PG's!) but after another friend mentioning she was having it for dinner last night, I craved them so bad I could smell them!  Oh pregnancy!

Off to get my fill of my nighttime snack - Friendly's Jubilee Roll - yum!!!  Please help with crockpot meals, and also some more meals I can freeze:)   Also, we have a housewarming party to go to this weekend, and I'm bringing a dessert - any recommendations for a large, possibly spread out time-wise crowd with some holiday cheer? 

Glad to be back!
