This Florida Mom’s Busy-Night Hack Is Actually Genius: ‘Elite Level Momming’

A busy mom in Tallahassee, Florida is sharing one major hack with the internet. The mother, whose online bio reveals that she’s a realtor, married to a firefighter, and has kids in sports, may be revolutionizing the way busy parents make dinner on nights when their children have sporting events.

In a TikTok video shared to her profile, @emmaleehindle is seen in the parking lot of her kids’ soccer field. The Florida mama stands by her vehicle with the trunk open and reveals an unusual setup. She has her crockpot plugged into the car’s outlet, a cooler full of food, and a container featuring bread and paper towels.

The soccer mom is actually making her family a home-cooked meal from the trunk of her car on a night when they’re out of the house and busy with activities. In the caption of the video, she reveals that she’s making sandwiches using chicken thighs, cream cheese, ranch seasoning, onion butter, shredded cheese, and buffalo sauce. She tells her viewers to shred the chicken and serve it as sliders on Hawaiian rolls or scoop it up with chips.

Florida Soccer Mom Cooks Dinner From Her Car’s Trunk

Crockpot Crack Chicken 🤤 What I used: * 1 package Sam’s Club chicken tenders * 1 package Sam’s Club chicken thighs * 2 blocks cream cheese * Ranch seasoning, season heavily * Kinder’s Caramelized Onion Butter seasoning, also season heavily * About 1 cup Mexican blend shredded cheese * A little dash of buffalo sauce * Hawaiian rolls or chips for serving How I make it: Throw the chicken, cream cheese, ranch seasoning and Kinder’s seasoning into the crockpot and let it cook on LOW most of the day. Right before soccer practice, shred all the chicken with forks and mix everything together. Add about 1 – 2 cups of Mexican blend cheese and just a little dash of buffalo sauce. Stir until it’s all melty and ridiculously good. Serve it on Hawaiian rolls for sliders or scoop it up with chips. And yes… it absolutely travels to soccer practice. 😂⚽️#dinneronthego #Crackchickeninthecrockpot #dinnerideas #crockpotmeal tallysoccer@YETI

“It’s so convenient,” she says of having an outlet in her vehicle to plug in the crockpot. However, this isn’t the first time that she’s made a meal on the run. In another video, the mom shared how she made walking pasta during a busy night at the soccer field. In a third video, she puts together a hamburger with a patty that she pulls out of the crockpot and adds some chips to the side for an easy meal.

While some on social media questioned why she wouldn’t just make an easy sandwich or buy something from the concession stand, others loved the idea. “This is such an amazing idea!” one person commented. “You’re elite level momming,” said another. “Better than eating junk food,” a third person chimed in. “That’s brilliant,” one viewer added. Others were just impressed that she had an outlet feature in her SUV.

How Home Cooking Can Save Families Money

According to Plan To Eat, eating home-cooked meals can save a family hundreds or even thousands throughout the course of a year. Implementing strategies such as meal planning, using coupons and shopping sales, and even batch cooking can all help cut down on food expenses for families looking to save some money and eat less fast food.

Between convenience and the savings, it’s easy to see why the Florida mom’s trunk-side dinners have struck a chord online.
