Crock Pot, how I love thee....
There's nothing better than putting a big hunk of meat in a big pot add a few ingredients and let it cook. Coming home to the smell of crock pot wonder is a wonder in itself. If you don't have a slow cooker, you should really consider getting one. Here's why, it took me about four minutes to assemble a complete dinner for my family of three tonight. Roast, two cups of broth, three onions, four potatoes, a pinch of garlic, some basil, peppercorns and a beer. Set it on low or warm and leave. Come home later to wonderful, home cooked goodness. The whole meal probably only costs me about seven dollars. It will last for two meals, at least. I love my crock pot. This is my thought of the day. It saves me time and money, two things that are very precious today.

It's Kallie again, thought I could post under Yahoo, but I guess not, so still anonymous.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of the crock pot as well. When the temps get high, it and the grill are about the only cooking tools I use. My fav's are pulled pork and shredded beef tacos. I own 3, and use them often to make dried beans of all sorts. I am on a mission to reduce plastics in my life and that includes most canned products, so I'm in the process of mastering cooking dried beans. I think I have it down, I still can't get my pintos to taste as good as my Mom in Law, but they're getting better.
