I homeschool my kids from the time we get up until about 3 p.m. each weekday, and then I teach piano lessons until 6 p.m. A schedule like that is not very conducive to cooking meals on a daily basis. I've been successful at times with preparing meals ahead of time, or having my husband make the meal during my last lesson, but I'd love to have some great meal suggestions for dishes that I can either put in the slow cooker in the morning or that I can make the night before, refrigerate, and then pop in the oven during my lessons. My family is really getting tired of eating yo-yo (you're on your own) meals most nights.
With all you wonderful cooks out there, I'm sure that you have a plethora of suggestions for cook-ahead meals. Would you care to share? Please? My family is hungry!

Have you heard of the Bible Bee? I hadn't until yesterday, but it looks really interesting. According to the Bible Bee website, this will be the first-of-its-kind, world-class National Bible Bee Competition. The competition will begin with local contests in communities nationwide on September 12, 2009, and then the top 100 finalists from each age group will advance to the National Contest in Washington D.C. to compete on November 5-6, 2009. The purpose of the Bible Bee is to promote godly character in children and youth by motivating them to memorize passages and facts found in the Bible. Their ultimate goal is to equip the next generation to be bold ambassadors for Jesus Christ.
Contestants will compete in their own age categories: 7-10yo, 11-14yo, and 15-18yo. The materials for study will be available to download in May from the Bible Bee website (for enrolled contestants).
And get this! The cash awards for the winners of this national competition are incredible. The top prize is $100,000 for the 1st place winner in the 15-18yo category. You can see the entire award breakdown here.
This looks like an excellent way for homeschoolers to incorporate Bible into their curriculum.
You can also find free "Heroes of the Faith" family devotionals for download on the Bible Bee site here.
