Questions and Reviews

  1. I am sitting here day dreaming that I’m sitting at a potluck table with all of these delicious eats on it!

  2. Am I the last person in the world who doesn’t own a crockpot??? I never knew it was this versatile!

    1. You know what, I avoided them for a long time as well. And now I love it! I would, however, suggest an Instant Pot that has BOTH a crock pot and electric pressure cooker function. https://amzn.to/2MZ1lFd

  3. What a amazing collection of crock pot recipes. I just had dinner and now I’m all over hungry again looking at all the photos.

  4. The crockpot is my savior including in the summertime when I can put the crock pot out in the shade under the patio. This is a nice large collection of recipes for people..

  5. Okay, which of these recipes to start with. Your roundup of crockpot recipes is simply divine!! I would eat each and every one of these delightful recipes. But I think I’d start with the apple balsamic recipe first!
