Crock Pot

The slow cooker has to be one of the top tools that has made my life easier.  Our family has always enjoyed Pulled Pork and Sloppy Joes, but making them in the crock pot is a game changer!  The prep work is done and mess is cleaned up before you even get hungry.

Crock Pot Cauliflower Casserole and Mac and Cheese are our most favorite side dishes to share from the crock pot.

My husband and I love mushrooms so we always look forward to eating Crock Pot Stew Meat & Mushrooms in Wine Sauce.

During the holidays Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes and Loaded Red Potatoes with Bacon are favorites at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

We have so many easy party food ideas that are mixed up and warm in the crock pot while the other party preparations are taking place.  Crock Pot Mushrooms and Fiesta Sausage Dip.

The best dessert we make is these Crock Pot Peanut Clusters, just be careful they are a bit addicting!
