...my crock pot!
Right before Christmas I was in Wal-mart and decided I needed a crock pot! Actually Wal-Mart shoved said crock pot in my face by strategically placing it smack in the middle of the main aisle with a giant sign marked $14.95...Well shoot how could I not buy it at that point?!?
So my new BFF came home with me and sat in the box for a day or two until I decided we need try it out! My dad was in town so I needed to try something that wouldn't be an epic failure ( you know so he could see that his baby girl can actually cook...kinda) so my first attempt at the crock pot was pulled chicken. Hubby isn't a red meat eater so we basically did pulled pork substitute chicken and voila! Pulled chicken!
And guess what? It was DELICIOUS! ( Ask my Dad and Dad you better say it was :)
Afraid to try more we did a couple more nights of pulled chicken and recently I have tried a few more recipes including Chicken and Dumplings ( using 98% fat free cream of chicken) and Taco Soup ( using ground turkey instead of ground beef) and both were so delicious!
I know making dinner in a crock pot isn't that big of an accomplishment but none the less I am so proud just to be using the thing! I love that I can make things we all enjoy and there is always enough for leftovers the next day so I usually just need to cook every other night!
I am so excited to try lots more things as I have simply fallen in love with my crock pot!
And Faith simply loves it too!
The preparation...

My friend actually just posted some recipes. I'm trying one today.
I've never used ours much but I'm determined to start because I know they make life easier.

Yes, the chicken from the crock pot was not only delicious but it was nutritious!Keep up the good work Winni told me she and her daddy really appreciate it!Bono Apetito or sumin like dat
I couldn't live without my crockpot in my house...well maybe I could live. But I wouldn't have delicious food to eat. I don't eat read meat so every thing we make in the crock pot is poultry.
I slow cook my chili all day, our fav is BBQ Pulled Chicken, We also do a pulled chicken taco style. We've done Pizza Casserole, Potato Soup, even homemade spaghetti sauce, Yummo!
If you're interested in recipes shoot me an email.
I LOVE my crockpot too!!! There is a recipe book called "Fix it and Forget it" that has so many good recipes in it and easy too. :) J
