When I got home this morning from work, I put dinner in the crock pot. We have a small roast, a couple of carrots, potatoes, an onion, three small cloves of garlic, two stalks of celery, some spices, a little worchestire sauce, and some water....it smells wonderful now.
I'm glad I put dinner in the crock pot when I got home. It makes the afternoon much smoother when I wake up for my next shift.
Sounds yummy! Don't you just love the smell of a meal cooking in the crockpot- you can smell it throughout the house. I also love the feeling that dinner is making itself- haha! :)
ReplyDeleteI love my crock pot. We have a great relationship.
ReplyDeleteI think, I can smell it all the way here :)
ReplyDeleteI'm deciding if I should put some food in the crock pot right now. Feeling a bit lazy, but I know I should so we have something ready for dinner. We are planning a zoo outing this afternoon and I know I won't feel like cooking when we get home.
ReplyDeleteIf I wait to plan dinner in the afternoon, I am more than likely not cooking, and offering take out.
DeleteI'm retired now, but my crockpot got used at least twice a week when I was still working. I also used a pressure cooker--and still do. Anything to make it cook fast and taste like it cooked slowly! I still use the crockpot if I have a shopping day or something I really need to get done and want dinner preparations to be trouble free. And with only two of us, I usually make sure whatever I'm cooking is big enough for two meals--not always the same meal, but something I can use for a different second meal.
ReplyDeleteI use my crock pot three times a week, sometimes more. I love it. I have never used a pressure cooker.
