    Slow Cooker Spaghetti and Meat Sauce

    Before we had children, I knew I wanted to make sure our family enjoyed meals together whenever possible. Taking time to enjoy a meal together is a great time to connect and catch up. It’s something that feels really important in the middle of our busy lives.

    Pasta is always a hit with the entire family so we depend on it a lot. But these days it’s hard for me to be in the kitchen making dinner while the kids do their own thing. Slow cooker spaghetti is a great solution! It’s easy for me to get started and just let cook until dinner time.
