I recently ordered a programmable 6 1/2 quart slow cooker. I’ve made three things. The first two were flops.
1) pork chops with orange apricot sauce: My son and I liked it but husband said “Could we please not have this again?” I think he is weirded out by fruit and meat combinations.
2) bean mix: even I was not crazy about this and I like everything.
3) Chili: A success. I posted the recipe here.
I love how dinner is ready when I get home. The mornings I put it all together I march upstairs and say to my husband “Honey, dinner’s ready!”

Am a bit of a slow cook fan…haven’t got an official slow cooker but I do love my le creuset casserole dish with a stew in on a long, slow, low flame! xxx
I have a le creuset (copy) casserole too and I like that as well. 🙂
Hay Karyl…. congrats on your new crock!!!! and it being programmable is even nicer. You tickle me about the part when you say to your hubby that dinners ready. LOL! Your such a funny one. I guess you know that I am a crock pot lover from many many years and I swear I could not live without one. But I recently saw this programmable pressure cooker and I am about to buy it really soon. I like that at times I could make chicken or a dish really very fast instead of really slow. Well If I like it I will let you know and also how it works out for me. Fast meals…slow meals….fast ….slow oh gosh. Chat with you later, have a great day! 🙂

I’ve never used a pressure cooker. Slow meals are wonderful for people who work outside the home. But quick meals are needed too. In fact last Sunday I used the fast cooker on high but it still took 4 hours! So no more slow cooker after church. Let me know about the pressure cooker. Thanks.
Same here I an new to a pressure cooker but my niece swears by hers. So I’ll let you know how it works out for me.
Can’t wait to hear. I think my mom had one.
I also saw this ad for an induction cook top. Its called Nuwave and it looks so amazing….something I want to add to my doomsday storage things LOL! But that’s next in line after I get video’s going on my blog and fix it up sometime this year. But this Nuwave is really amazing and you get so many accessories with it. I think it comes with a fondue kit, a stainless steel pot and steamer and two sauce pans. Not bad for the price.
Sounds very interesting. Speaking of videos, have you thought about YouTube? I have been watching lots of hair videos lately but there’s all kinds.
yes…I love YouTube! Hair videos? I saw a couple of your posts on hair….they all look so nice too. I especially like the most recent one with the short cute do.
You tube is fun. Check out the hair videos. Lots of fun. Good ideas.
