I have a confessions to make…. I’m a crock pot addict.

ByJessica Lieb

I love my crock pot. It was one of the items on my wedding registry that I was SUPER excited to receive. Now I use it about once a week, which I thought was pretty hard-core until I discovered, A Year of Slow Cooking. In 2008, Stephanie decided to use her crock pot every-single-day for a whole year. Now THAT is hard core.
This is my crock pot and I love it!
Now I don’t plan on using my crock pot every single day for a year but I do hope to increase my crock pot usage drastically. I mean it’s such a great tool, especially for moms. 

So here is my meal plan for the next two week. (Notice the number of slow cooker meals!)

Monday – Potluck Beans for our weekly Bible Study potluck dinner. (crock pot)
Tuesday – Chicken Curry (crock pot)
Wednesday – Spaghetti
Thursday – Chicken Tacos (crock pot)
Friday – Pizza Night
Saturday – Burgers
Sunday – BBQ Pork (crock pot)

Monday – TBD
Tuesday – Chicken with Apricots and Dates (crock pot) 
Wednesday – Enchiladas
Thursday – Pork Chops (crock pot)
Friday – Pizza Night
Saturday – Black Bean Burritos

I have an empty spot for next Monday. If you have any great crock pot recipes let me know. I would usually make Ropa Veija in the crock pot but I think I want something different and new.

I will be posting the details of each of my crock pot adventures over the next two weeks so stay tuned.

  15. So do you (or anyone else) have suggestions on a good cookbook? I like simple with ingredients that you usually have on hand.

  16. Cookbooks I don't know about. I love Great Northern beans with ham chuncks cooked in the crockpot. Homemade cornbread to crumble in the bowl of beans and ham when it's done. I love those simple few ingredient meals as well. If you can imagine it you can do it with a crockpot.

  17. I love putting pototoes or sweet potatoes in mine. You wrap them in foil and cook them for 8 hours on low. They are amazing, especially the sweet potatoes! Slow cookers are the best!

  19. I have a crock pot, but I rarely use it! I should utilize it more!

    It was great meeting you! (And I am your newest follower.) I hope you'll come over to visit me as well.

  20. I really need to use my crockpot more because I work days and my husband works night, so having a meal ready when I get home is so important!

    Thank you for the wonderful ideas!
