Crock Pot Cooking

Okay Gals! It's time to get this up and going again. I need some new ideas now that Spring is here!

I taught a slow cooker class for RS enrichment this week. Everyone brings their crockpot and prepares the recipe and goes home and plugs it in and their dinner is ready! It rotates each month at someone else's kitchen who is responsible for picking the recipe, shopping for the ingredients, and teaching. (Everyone reimburses her)

Here is what we made yesterday. Enjoy!

SLOW COOKING


With a slow cooker, dinner cooks itself! It cooks all day long so you don’t have to. You can use slow cooker recipes made just for your crock-pot or adapt your family favorites with a little thought. Just add your ingredients in the morning, turn it on and you have dinner ready in the evening! The smell will be wafting through the house calling everyone to the table for some family time.

Here are some recipes I enjoy and some that I have adapted.

Bon Appetite!
