Slow Cooker

Early in my mothering, I wasn't into using a crock pot, also called a slow cooker. I guess I was into making things as hard on myself as possible.

I currently use two 6 qt. oval programmable slow cookers. I really appreciate the Warm Setting that it switches to when it has finished cooking. I have the classic, Fix It and Forget It cookbooks, the original and the one for entertaining. Don't forget to check out allrecipes.com for other slow cooker ideas.

Here's one of my favorite ideas for entertaining. Choose a main dish recipe and make one with beef/pork and the other with chicken. Serve this with a big green salad and whole grain bread. Most folks will find something to enjoy!
