No to harp on the same old thing but I just feel that the lack of support in the kitchen is just too much. Everyone’s relationships or marriages are very different and the dynamics of the relationship can vary on many levels; but I draw the line at the lack of consideration I feel coming from...

I really wish I could cook Indian food because I am reading more and more everyday about the importance of the spices used in Indian food. For someone like me that should be on a much healthier eating plan due to my chronic illnesses; it seems that Indian food may be a godsend and it seems that...

I am getting bored with the typical Thanksgiving desserts that we usually have and I hope to find a new one to spark my interest. I would like to do something in the crock pot but I would really like to make a cake in the crock pot actually. A good butter pound cake would be great to me. What do...

Tacos are still up in the air for me right now. I would love to make a good chicken pot pie from scratch and I think that the best way would be in a crock pot. I have seen only a few recipes that I like too. It can be difficult to come with decent crock pot with a seven year old that happens to...

I just started getting into Pinterest and I have found some really useful recipes too. Meatloaf is touchy subject in my house because my husband does not eat meatloaf but I had it plenty as a kid. There are days that I would to prepare meatloaf because it can go a long way and there are many...

Hey Shellyann, I am so glad you did not see my comments as mean, arrogant, or malicious in any way. I am a busy wife and mom too and I understand what it is to try to come up with good meals on limited time or money. There are healthy and flavorful meals that can be prepared in a crock pot and...

I have a seven year old and she is a very picky eater. IT wasn’t until I started cooking pinto beans in the crock pot that she actually started eating pinto beans. I make mine with pinto bean seasoning from the store, smoked ham, garlic pepper, and garlic salt; then I let them slow cook for...

You know Shellyann, I am not one to dip in anyone’s business unless it is allowed but Alrikidokie does bring up a very valid point. I feel just the fact you are cooking with three toddlers in tow is quite the miracle honestly. If your hubby is so unhappy with your preparation of cuisine, then he...

Wow Brian thank you so much for posting the recipe here. After reading this, I may want to get brave too and try a dessert or two. I am mostly looking to make cakes and fruit pies in my crock pot. Around the holidays those are desserts that I really go for.

Well Christin, these days the ironic thing is that now I cannot even enjoy chili thanks to my acid reflux. Until I received my crock pot, I had never made chili before and then I found this great recipe online that I tweaked a little. My hubby has enjoyed my homemade crock pot chili ever since...

I can understand your dilemma with Chinese food, Mindy. Is your stir fry homemade or do you try those grocery frozen brands like the P.F Chang’s? I have often to reproduce the same dishes that I get from Chinese takeout at home and it just does not work for me. I have tried the fried rice dishes...

Wow, now that is brave to have a meatloaf in the crock pot to me! Again, my fear is that the meat will not be cooked thoroughly in the crock pot and food poisoning can be an issue. Unfortunately, I have suffered the effects of salmonella from under cooked chicken and it is horrible; by the way...

You know I have read about making desserts in the crock pot as well but I am still a little leery of it. I would love to make an apple pie or a pound cake in the crock pot. I just have no idea of how it would turn out with the dessert being made in a crock pot. Does anyone else share my concerns?

I hear that Indian food can be an acquired taste but I am honestly looking forward to the health benefits that Indian food brings. I am a diabetic and I have heard for years that Chinese food and Indian food is great because of the vegetables those foods use. Plus, both Chinese and Indian food...

That is a great idea to use the broth or stock from the chickens in the crock pot. I bet there are so many stews and soups with that good stock. I bet you can also take that stock and freeze it for late use too. What I really want to do is make my own soup one day with some egg noodles...

Thank you so much for the welcome and I enjoy cooking pinto beans when it gets cold outside. I really like trying to find meals that will stick to the ribs when it gets really cold outside. I make great chili in the crock pot too. I want to eventually make a stew and some casseroles in my crock...

I completely agree with you ShellyAnn and I am quite afraid of even putting raw ground meat in a crock pot personally. Like you, I would cook the ground meat in a skillet, drain the grease, and then put the meat with the ingredients in the crock pot actually. I have a small family and I am still...

I am so glad that things are looking up in a positive means for you. Always keep thinking positive and praying. I will definitely keep you in my prayers and I have faith that you daughter will get better. Faith without work is dead so make sure you keep your daughter in great spirits; and keep...

Is it possible to make tacos in a crock pot? I have seen numerous recipes online but I am not sure if I trust the texture and flavor of tacos in a crock pot. Has anyone in this forum ever made tacos in the crock pot and if so how was your experience? I hope there are delicious taco dishes coming...

I love Chinese takeout and buffet; my favorite is lo mein noodles with garlic, egg rolls, and honey chicken. I have been curious to try Indian food because of what I have heard about the flavor and that I hear it is very healthy for you. I have been told to do your research when it comes to the...
