Since I probably use my crockpot more than I use my oven, I thought a blog for tasty and easy crockpot recipes would be great. I simply love my crockpot and am known as the queen of the crockpot. When you work 40 hours a week and have children with a lot of after school activities, the crockpot really simplifies life. So much healthier than fast food too :-). Feel free to share your own favorite crockpot recipes as well. Enjoy!
