Crock Pot Adventures!!!

Well with all that has been going on with our family I thought that maybe we could use a little help.......

I decided to invest in a Crock Pot!!!!




Yesterday was the first time i put it to work....I had made Granny's chix and dumplings....which was a huge success....I only had to prepare the chix the night before then Monday morning put all the ingredients in the pot set it and forgot about it....;)








Today I prepared an Asian beef with Mandarin oranges dish....
It took awhile to cut the onions....Bokchoy...green pepper...shiitake mushrooms and everything else....but then all i needed to do is to let the pot cook for me.....when it is done it will be put on top of rice....




ok so they aren't my pics but just as close......



I am hoping to be able to experience a whole other way of cooking with incredible food......

I just want to say i felt inspired to post from a friend who also is posting about her food journey... enjoy as much as i have....

I love cooking with a crock pot, because I can do exactly what you said, set it and forget it. Then you can "relax" in the afternoon and not feel like you have to do a million things to get dinner ready. When I get settled I will have to get your recipes from you!
