    Thanksgiving in a Slow Cooker?

    Thanks for the ideas Mindy! Mmm...mashed potatoes in a crockpot sound so good! You don't own four crock pots, do you? Or is it where everyone chips in and brings theirs? You must have a big gathering to need four full of potatoes! We've never had peas at my thanksgiving...only green beans!

    What's the craziest thing you've made in a crock pot!?

    My husband is also very picky and a bit skeptical of crock pot cooking. I think it was because his mother never used one to cook while he was growing up - he was wayy too spoiled! I've never made meatloaf in my crockpot- what did you put in yours? Corn on the cob sounds delicious, too!

    What's the craziest thing you've made in a crock pot!?

    I've had my crock pot for about 6 months now- my husband and I got it for a wedding gift! I've made chicken, soup, and meat dishes with it- but has anyone tried a unique recipe with theirs that they would like to share? I'm still figuring out what is all easy and possible to make with mine...

    Whole Chicken in a Crockpot

    Foil balls are a great idea, TBAL. I've never had my chicken turn out rotisserie style before, but then again, I also cook it for long periods of time. I usually just mix it with some chicken broth or cream of chicken or cheese soup. Here's a recipe that is similar to the one I used...

    Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas

    We had a great Halloween- our son got lots of candy and for Wisconsin, we had nice "warm" end of October weather! We absolutely love Thanksgiving and Christmas in our family. One of my uncles passed away last year right before Thanksgiving and his wife and three kids moved down to Florida in...

    Hello everyone! My name is Beth and I live in Wisconsin...go Packers! Growing up, my parents were divorced and my time was split between their houses.
