I am in major EAT ALL THE FOOD mode right now. Like, I want the freezer cleaned out, I want the pantry cleaned out, I want everything out.
Which is ridiculous because we still have almost 2 months left here.
But for whatever reason, my brain says that we need to eat everything now and then buy just what we need to survive the rest of the time here.
And that’s never going to work because we are incredibly high-maintenance when it comes to food.
Also, I’m feeling super productive because I’m burning through all my candles and each time I finish one, I say “Yep, one less thing to take with us!”
As if a candle is going to make or break our household goods allowance.
But anyway, I’m finding all kinds of things in my freezer. There’s a pint of opened dog ice cream (yeah, that’s a thing) from 2 summers ago that I won’t feed the dogs but I love the label too much to throw it away.
There’s also at least 5 bags of ravioli. Because apparently I impulse buy pasta filled with cheese more often than I realize.
Luckily, the kids love ravioli! This Crockpot Ravioli is so simple and it’s perfect for us right now because I’m crazy I already had all the ingredients on hand and I, you know, felt like I was actually accomplishing something by throwing away that empty bag of mozzarella.
If only moving was as easy as eating all the food and burning all the candles, right?

I was the same when we were getting ready to move! I pretty much got giddy when I filled up a bag of stuff to bring to salvation army or cleared out a shelf in the pantry. Ha! I am obsessed with ravioli and crockpot meals – this looks perfect Amanda!! Love!

This is so smart, I have to make this because I know my kids would LOVE it. And I totally understand the feeling of needing to clean out the fridge and freezer when a move is coming! At least you can eat lots of this yumminess! :)

I have to say, there are definitely harder things to get rid of than cheese ravioli. This looks awesome, I know my kids would love this. Good luck burning those candles and eating that food ;).
