Shhhhh... the secret to keeping my sanity is my private chef

Yes, I have a private chef. Don't hate me. Of course, I'm talking about my crock-pot! A combination of unusually high triple digit temperatures this summer, my husband being back in college classes in the evening and a new job in the afternoon has had me turning to my crock-pot more and more. I cooked 4 out of 5 evening meals in them last week. Starting my meal at noon and having it ready in the evening is like a dream. My dear husband comes in from class ready to eat. Keeping the meal in my crock-pot on warm is so convenient to his schedule. It truly is like having a private chef. I do a little prep work, throw it in the crock-pot and go about my business. It seems my dear friend Melissa has the same idea too. We keep passing tips, recipes and websites between each other. How about a year of crock-pot cooking? Check out this website http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/ I'm excited to try dessert in the crock-pot! I may have to get a second crock-pot just for that purpose! Also check out http://www.allrecipes.com/ They have a crock-pot category. I also recently stumbled on a group on Facebook called "Crock Pot Girls" which, incidentally, at first glance I thought was "CRACK Pot Girls" which was intriguing to me for reasons unknown. They have started their own website here www.crockpotgirls.com as the FB page grew like crazy (They started on August 19 and in 9 days they had almost 100,000 likes).
