Today, my friends, you are going to get two recipes for the price of one! Ok ok it’s free, but you get my gist. A few weeks ago I shared 5 Real Food Time Saving Tips, This week I want to share with you one of my weekly real food “chores.” The best part of these two recipes is that you have like 15 minutes of prep total and the crock pot does all of the work! Making this real food “chore” a breeze. See… no excuse why you can’t eat real food if you’re busy!
