It's All a Crock

I am absolutely loving this blog. I can't believe someone would be brave enough to try and cook int their crockpot every day for a year. It is amazing. As I've said here before, the crockpot is favorite way of cooking. I used to only think of it for those hot meals ready when you get home from a long day out. I realized last year that it was a great way to cook a meal without heating up the kitchen. What I really like about her recipes is that they are healthy, and she has a lot of healthy suggestions to go along with all the food she prepares. Many recipes that I find for the crock pot are made with canned soup, etc. which are alright once in a while, but too high in sodium and other things to use regularly. She is also hysterically funny. I was enjoying reading her "verdict" to each recipe that she tried. Another thing I love about crock pot cooking is that I can put dinner together in the morning when my energy level is highest instead of at 4 pm when I am zapped. I planned my whole menu for the week around my crock pot. I can't wait to see what the family thinks about all the new things we're going to try! I am even going to try a dessert for the first time.

  1. thanks, Jewls, for your sweet words! I am having a lot of fun with this project---and I'm also eating a lot, lol!

    the crockpot really is a great tool; I, too, have much more energy in the morning than the afternoon. I'm so happy that I have been of some help to your family.

  2. I used to have a crockpot, but I never REALLY got into using it. I tried one of those Crock Pot bags from the grocer...not sure who makes them..maybe I should give it another try!

  6. Crockpot. Is that for cooking? Oh. I used mine once. A big can of beans and cut up hot dogs. Maybe I should start a domestic/cooking/housekeeping blog.
