Christmas can be a hectic, overscheduled time of year. One very easy way to keep your family healthy and sane is to have a simple family dinner together as often as possible. This is made even easier by cooking in a slow cooker or picking up a prepared rotisserie chicken from your local market or Sam’s Club (my favorite for under $5!)

Family dinner guru Leanne Ely has some wonderful menu plans for slow cookers (crockpots) and rotisserie chickens at her website SavingDinner.com.

Her recipes are fantastic and are sure to please even the pickiest eaters in your family! Give them a try!
