Crock-Pot Fest

I'm a little late for the 1st Annual Bailey's Leaf Lovin' on the Crock-Pot Fest. Still I wanted to share some of my Crock-Pot recipes.

When we lived in our apartment, I teased my huband and called him the Crock Pot King. On his day off, he would often drop me off at work, stop at the grocery store to pick up a few things, throw it together in the crock pot and then go about his day. Come time to pick me up from work, dinner was done! What a treat for me!

Since then, I've really come to rely on my crock-pot a lot. Especially, since the birth of our daughter in May. I never know what my day is going to be like, now that she is here. Plans can change in an instant depending on her mood or needs.

I found that if I manage about 10-15 minutes in the morning to prepare something to cook in the crock-pot, then we are guaranteed a meal at dinner time.

Here are links to some of my tried and true crock-pot recipes both here on this blog and also my other blog:

White Chicken Chili
Whole Chicken in the crock pot
Beef Barley Soup
Crock Pot Ravioli
Our Favorite Baked Beans
Crock Pot Beef Stew
Kielbasa Soup

Wow! That's a lot of crock pot recipes for just about a month of blogging!

Here's a trick I used to try to avoid morning sickness involving my crock pot!

Leave me a comment if you like a recipe, especially if you try it and like it!

  1. Love the Beef Barley recipe. Thanks for posting it. Now every time I loose it, I know just where to find it. Maybe it will show up in my menu plan!

I love to hear from our readers, but don't always have the time to respond to every comment...but please don't let that stop you from saying hello or letting me know what you think of the content here Under the Big Oak Tree.

Also, I apologize for activating the word verification option for comments. My in-box has been flooded with SPAM comments making it very difficult to weed through and find the comments from our readers!
