I just came across this great blog over on recipetips.com and I thought that I would share it with you - it's got everything from how to clean your crockpot to great features that you can choose from in today's world of slow cookery.
About Slow Cooking
Slow cooking is a cooking method that uses an electrical countertop appliance referred to as a slow cooker. Slow cookers are often referred to as Crock-Pots®, which is actually a brand name for a type of slow cooker.

Slow cookers are a fabulous tool for busy parents, busy spouses, and just plain busy people. It's hard to find time to cook a delicious and healthy meal where you're rushing off to work, picking up the kids from their multitude of activities, or just trying to unwind after a hard day.

One of the great things about a slow cooker (or crock pot, as it's sometimes called), is that it's a versatile kitchen item. Everyone might not agree, but here's the thing: a slow cooker can be used to feed two, a family, or even a crowd.
Add that fact to the simplicity of using it and is it any wonder that I love mine so much?

My family went pumpkin picking on Friday (my boys got a couple huge pumpkins I'll be cooking up) and apple picking yesterday. We have about 4 bushels of apple we were given. I love this time of year!

Don't ask me why it's called this, because honestly, I have no idea. But I must say that it looks absolutely scrumptious and I have a feeling that this recipe could become a staple in my diet! Anything with pesto these days...

Sometimes, a traditional recipe for the slow cooker is just what you need. With fall coming and cold nights creeping upon us, there might be a night you just want to come home to some good old comfort food. And what better that a pot roast?

I hope you have all been enjoying the recipes that I've been posting. I absolutely love to cook, and while I love to cook food that is more "gourmet", so to say, the reality of my life is that I just don't have the time. I cook 3 or more times a week (utilizing leftovers!), and really feel that good food doesn't have to be complicated or take all day.

Have you ever had chicken from the slow cooker? The first time I had it, I had placed some chicken breasts in some enchilada sauce and left it all day.
Let me tell you: DELICIOUS.

Yesterday, my husband and I spent the day at home, recovering from a late Sunday night wedding that lasted until the wee hours of the day.
Much fun. Tiring, but fun.
