I have tried a lunch time at 11am and it was too much on me because i felt rushed i would start preping it at 1030 then have them sit for 11am(they are slow eaters) then i would have to start getting them ready around 11:20 to be out the door for 11:30 and with winter coming it might take longer i was thinking maybe if i pre cook (ie left overs or freeze meals) it might be a little better. I give the little ones there bottles roughly around 10-10:30 but they still scream and cry. so im looking for kid friendly slow cooker ideas? so i could maybe try as soon as we get in sit to eat and they get a hot meal
