Nothing like an easy crock pot meal to throw together and get your daily to-do's done, and to come back to an awesome, healthy meal for the family! I know my husband and kids can always go for Sloppy Joes! I woke up this morning and threw everything together, went to the gym and to run my errands and now, cleaning my house and playing with my kids! What a time saver! Thanks to who ever invented the crock pot! lol!

I do my little secret that I do not tell anyone that it is turkey meat and clean until after they are done! No excuse not to eat it ;)
