I love having dinner cooking on the crock pot. I just love it love it love it love it. I love it so much that I am cooking two crock pot meals two days in a row and I wish I was doing it every day for the rest of the year. AND, since I’ve been under budget with groceries for two months in a row (planned so that we could replace our DVD player that the 1 year old broke by repetitively pounding on buttons unsupervised) I am also going to purchase ANOTHER crock pot if possible. I would like a larger one with more cooking options. Get this, in December I am planning a couple meals that require TWO crock pots cooking simultaneously! CRAZY!
Tonight I was trying a new turkey chili and my afternoon went so smoothly not having to cook that I thought to myself that I didn’t even care if it was good or not. It just made me so happy that dinner was cooking away on my counter and I did almost nothing to prepare it. As it turns out it was pretty good. Jim and I thought it was a little on the bland side but it could be spiced up a bit with tobasco or more chili powder or loads of garlic. The corn bread recipe I tried was excellent. I’ve been looking for a good one for quite some time and I think this one is a keeper: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Grandmothers-Buttermilk-Cornbread/Detail.aspx . I’m still searching for a moist sweet corn bread recipe with corn in it but for now this one satisfies.
