My favorite slow cooker recipe comes from the book "Not your mother's slow cooker cookbook" which has a TON of recipes, just this is the one I've honed in on and made several times.

Enjoy :) I don't really need more yarn either, but I love the Fried Green Tomato colorway :)
and I don't trust blogger to give you my email address... so it's bethtoons at gmail dot com
I have an excellent chili recipe if you'd like, and one for pulled pork. As far as yarn - love the TVYarn and the Reynolds....let me know if you'd like either recipe and I'll email them to you.
ReplyDeleteOhh, I'm in LOVE with the 2 skeins of Reynolds!!!! MUST HAVE. I'm going to go find my fave recipe for my crockpot - must find the magazine it's in (not sure where it went when we moved, but I'm going to look for it now and Im going to email you the recipe :)
ReplyDeleteOh oh - me me - PURPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the Reynolds, too, but it looks like it's already spoken for. However, here's my crockpot recipe anyway. Dump an unspecified number of chicken parts,
ReplyDelete2 TB butter,
1/2 c honey,
3 TB Dijion Mustard
2 tsp curry powder a
1/2 tsp salt
cook on low for 6 hours
serve over rice and prepare to smack lips.
Enjoy!
I really think all the yarn is pretty, though the mary jane, and the purple yarn are my favorits. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite recipes of all times:

I hate my crockpot so I don't have many recipes, lol. But I do love the chili recipe I got from weight watchers like 3 years ago, especially with cheese and sour cream (ha! take that WW :P).
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm just commenting to say I think you should keep the soft sea wool! It's a beautiful color, and is it enough to make a cool lace scarf or something?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, re: the crockpot, check out this book - I've made a couple of things from it and it's resulted in some of the better crockpot things I've tasted:
Slow Cooker Ready & Waiting Cookbook by Rick Rodgers
http://www.flylady.net/pages/FFT_SlowCook1.asp
ReplyDeleteHas lots of crock pot recipes...I haven't tried them all, but a few were very good. Check it out :)
happy crock potting ;)
I hardly ever use recipes to cook things in my crockpot - I usually cook pot roasts or stews and I just throw the meat in with whatever seasonings look good at the time (herbs, spices, vegetables, whatever) and cook until the meat's done.
ReplyDeleteMy mom made a beer and bear roast last week that was really good, and I think she did use a recipe for it, but I'm back at school now and can't look it up. I could e-mail her and ask for it if you like, but I have a feeling that the bear might be a little hard to come by.
A tip, though: use less salt than you think you'll need. The cooking concentrates it (and you can always add more later if you need to).
CDKitchen has a crockpot section http://www.cdkitchen.com/
ReplyDeleteAllRecipes has a Slow Cooker collection http://allrecipes.com/Recipes/Main-Dish/Slow-Cooker/Main.aspx
http://www.crock-pot.com/ has free recipes
Campbell’s kitchen includes crockpot recipes http://www.campbellkitchen.com/RecipeSearch.aspx?searchText=crockpot%20recipes
If you are looking for a cookbook take a look at Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Cookbook. It has a wider variety of tasty and healthy recipes than some of the older Slow Cooker/Crockpot books.

I like the Fried Green Tomatoes the best. The purple reynolds is lovely too.
