Is it just me or does your brain not work as well at 5 pm?  Five o’clock always seems to be the time when I realize my kids need to do their homework, the dishwasher needs unloading and someone starts whining that they are hungry.  That’s why I love slow cooker meals!  When the dreaded hour of 5 pm rolls around, I’m totally prepared.
