I'm Kristy, creator of Mommy Hates Cooking and author of Freezer to Slow Cooker: 10 Dump and Go Dinners. I know how chaotic family life can get, and my mission is simple: help you get dinner on the table with less stress and more flavor. This guide was born out of my busy kitchen, and I can’t wait to share the time-saving meals that keep my family fed (and my sanity intact)!
These recipes have been total lifesavers in my kitchen, and I know your family will love them just as much. If you’re anything like me, some days there’s just no time (or energy!) to prep a slow cooker meal from scratch. That’s exactly why I created this guide to make dinner easier on the days when everything else feels hard. With just 1–2 hours of prep, you’ll have 10 meals ready to stash in the freezer. When you’re ready to cook, thaw overnight, dump into the slow cooker, and come home to a hot, homemade dinner, no stress, no mess!
With busy families, dinner shouldn’t be another stressful task, it should be the part of the day where everyone slows down, connects, and enjoys a meal together.
