The Crockpot and I

I recently have been trying a slew of crockpot ideas that I have found from Pinterest and other websites. Pinterest has became my newest obsession. Sedona even has a board of things she might like! For anyone who has't used their crock-pot... well, clean it out, buy some crock-pot liners, and find some recipes. I use mine at least 3 days a week. When I first bought it, I used in 3 times a month because I lacked recipes and mostly the motivation to use it or no motivation to just cook. Crock-pots can save a TON of money, effort, and your time. During the school year when I depart at the crack of dawn,  I leave the recipes for my new hubby with all the meat and veggies pre-chopped, sauces made, etc. so that he just has to turn on the crock and dump ingredients in. It is perfect! I come home from school and I really don't have to do anything.

This is the model I have. I want a programmable one next. I read a blog where the person had 2 crock-pots and she was able to cook one meal for today and one ahead for tomorrow.  I am going to try that before I go back to work... I am on summer vacation now. The first 2 weeks of school are always exhausting. I think it is just getting back into the swing of things, getting up early, and keeping up with the list of to do's to get ready for the new school year that wears me down.
