ok, i know i haven't been blogging at all. just didn't find the time. either that or facebook took away whatever free time i had. anyhoo. i'm gonna come back on here and write up random recipes i've tried. that way i won't forget how i made something.
i've always been thinking about getting a crockpot, but just never really did it. but then i talked to the paralegal, kim, at my internship and she totally convinced me to get one. she uses it all the time and had a lot of good recipes to share. i was sold!! i even got the same brand she uses so i can't go wrong. she mentioned that she lets it run while she's at work, but i still haven't gotten myself to do that yet. and she mentioned that b/c she has marble counters, she places the crockpot on top of a glass cutting board to be safe. i haven't tried that yet, but will see...
i've only used the crockpot 3 times and it's all been a success! the funny part is that i prep in the evening and let it cook overnight. must be the paranoia in me, b/c i'm worried about letting an appliance run for 8 hours while i'm at work. what if it caused a fire or something?!? so i let it cook at night, usually starting around 9 or 10pm. i set it on low and let it cook for 8 hours. in the morning, i transfer the food from the crockpot to another pot to let it cool down. i usually let it cool down for an hour before i put it in the fridge. then when i come home from work, all i have to do is reheat the food and dinner is served! yum!
the only really weird part is waking up to the smell of beef stew or whatever it is i made the night before. but other than that, it's been working well! :)
ok, so on to the recipes!!!
