My life has been incredibly busy for the past two weeks. Eleven years ago I pledged a sorority in the fall of my freshman year at Texas Tech. Since moving back to Lubbock I have gotten back involved and even decided to be a co-advisor during recruitment. Apparently I had forgotten the LONG nights, lack of sleep and lots of brain power during this time. I miss Olivia and Shaun during this time but I LOVE the hype of recruitment week and seeing all the fabulous girls going through rush.

With all of recruitment going on that means my family is lacking in the dinner department. It’s slow cooker meals, left overs and eating out for all of us.

It’s nice to know that you can prepare meals ahead of time knowing that your family isn’t going to be knocking down the neighbors door begging for a home cooked meal. I may be busy this week but they are well taken care of with this slow cooker chicken, broccoli and quinoa casserole. If you can’t tell I’m kind of in a slow cooker kick right now and I’m loving it.
