If your crock pot needs to be replaced, here’s a nice big one that is big enough for a whole chicken or a roast. No more worrying about whether it’s all going to fit. I love the stainless finish and the little extra pot comes with it. My husband took that one to work, so he’d be able to have little stews and things for parent teacher nights and times when he has to stay late.

I'm providing these menus and shopping lists for people for free. I started posting my shopping lists and menus a while back because I figured I could save people time. It started a trend and I have really enjoyed doing it. This is what it has grown into.
Then, my mom lost a whole bunch of weight with the HCG diet and I figured I could share the message here. I have always felt that there was more to weight loss than just deciding to lose weight and going on a diet. Watching my mom struggle with her weight has been heart wrenching at times. It didn't seem fair that she should have this problem. It wasn't like she didn't try. But then, she found HCG and the pounds just came off. It was fun to watch her and we jokingly referred to her as "The Incredible Shrinking Woman"
Meanwhile, my husband was losing weight like crazy by drinking Tai Slim. He just drank a bit of it before breakfast and lunch and he lost weight.
The other things on this page are to make your life easier as well. I hope you enjoy. If you do, you can subscribe to receive an e-mail every time I post a new menu and also receive some friendly tips to help your cooking.
Happy Cooking! 
Amy,
I found your new site and it looks great !
I’m putting your new address on my blog and I’m happy you are keeping your old blog up for awhile…I haven’t used all of the plans you’ve done so far. It’s a big step to sink $$$ into a site so I hope it is very successful LOL !
Thanks for the support, Lynn. You always have such nice things to say. I’m glad you like the site.
Amy, Although I’m not the cook around here I would like to say that I have a healthy respect for food and great blogs. You deliver on both. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the comment. It’s nice that you stopped by to see my blog. I enjoy your blogs, too.
Wow Amy, this looks like a real time-saver for those wonderful people who shop and cook for us. Great site.
Thanks, Bill. It really can save quite a bit of time to have someone else plan your menus for you. It also saves on last minute trips to the store for food to make dinner since you’ll already have everything you need.
Wow. Very cool source for information. This could really help with meal planning. I think we need to get the companion book for sure. Thanks for putting this together.
Yes, it’s a lot easier to use these menus if you have one of the cookbooks on the side of this page. They’re the same cookbook, just hardbound or paperback editions. I’ve stuck to those recipes except for the occasional link to another spot. So, if you have that book, you’ll have everything you need to follow the menus.
You are Awesome Amy! I just bought the slow cooker. ME! Now that says something for your blog and I’m headed for the steam grill cleaning brush next! awesome info and great recipes. Thank Goodness My new friend loves to cook. I can help make it easier for him by your great resource.

Thanks Amy. You are inspiring to me.
Hey Kimi,
Good to hear from you again. I’m glad you found some fun toys to buy. But mostly I’m glad you have a new friend who likes to cook. That’s great news. Keep reading and keep in touch.
Amy
