It is especially wonderful on cold winter days. I just use my regular roast beef recipe, only I reduce the liquid slightly. When cooking with a slow cooker, liquids do not boil away because you must leave the lid on all through the cooking times.

Just throw some chicken in, some diced carrots, celery, and onions (this was the only time we ever used a food processor), water, salt and pepper, and vodka (and this is when I discovered we even owned vodka), and let it cook. Tasty every time. I remember my dad used to make chicken soup a lot in the crockpot.

Do you cook them separate? To Amanda: I am not sure of the maker (maybe Rival) but my inlaws just got a crockpot that has a lid that locks down and even has an insulated carrier. This is extremely handy if you need to take your finished dish somewhere. And, of course, the ceramic dish lifts out for easy filling and cleaning.

It's lazyfood. 2 pork blade stakes. A questionable cut, as they aren't tender and are fatting. I trimmed the fat and dumped some mango salsa on top. I'll take out the bone when I get home and use in tacos. I am crockpotting right now. It’s lazyfood. 2 pork blade stakes. A questionable cut, as they aren’t tender and are fatting.

I put the recipe on my blog but it's super easy. 1 chopped and peeled eggplant, 2 cans of tomatoes (1 ital/1 chili) some capers, onion, garlic, wine, olive oil, balsalmic vinegar, salt and pepper and cook for 4 hours. Lots of veggies and great on pasta. This post reminded me that I needed to get out the crock pot before my eggplant went bad!

You can go into the equipment category and find all recipes related to slow cookers. They're fabulous. I've made the potato soup--super easy and delicious. I love my crock pot. As I type, there is a delicious roast waiting in it--a can of cream of mushroom soup, a packet of dried onion soup, lots of fresh herbs, garlic and spices and a splash of beer. Cooks on low until after lunch, then I go home and add veggies--especially mushrooms. It continues to cook until I get home from work. I serve it over brown rice if I'm lazy and over mashed potatoes or polenta if I'm feeling saucy. Enjoy! I’ve never posted to a blog, so I don’t know if the below link will work:
