It seems like I woke up one morning and crock pot insanity had taken over Facebook. I originally thought of my crock pot as a place to cook my roasts, chili and even soups, but boy did I have a lot to learn! After clicking “Like” on a few crock pot pages, I was opened up to a brand new world of slow cooker meals – breakfasts, full feasts and even desserts!! All kinds of wonderful new recipes are constantly being added keeping our menu at home from becoming boring and repetitive.
I am also able to use my couponing and sales along with the new crock pot sites. I go over my sales and coupons for the week and then go to the sites and find recipes with ingredients matching my shopping list. That way I am also saving money as well as time …
SPEAKING OF SAVING TIME!!
Of course crock pot cooking may not all be simple, though most of the recipes are relatively uncomplicated, they do still take some time and effort. I am in the kitchen, preparing dinner in the early morning, most of the time before my kids are even awake, which puts my time and energy in the evenings where it should be… focused on my family!! Do you have to be at cheerleading or soccer practice tonight? Wake up half an hour early, put dinner in the crock pot and dinner will be ready when you get home. I am having a get-together for a college football game tomorrow evening. When everyone arrives, I will be greeting them and socializing instead of slaving away in the kitchen because taco soup and chocolate lava cake will already be waiting, ready to devour!!
If you’re skeptical of the crock pot craze, don’t be! It really can save you precious time, effort and even money, if you play your cards right! Try it – and when you do, let me know what your favorite recipes are!!
