Crock pot crazy!

I am turning into a total crock pot crazed lover! I have used my crock pot nearly everyday for the next two weeks of meal planning! It's not only easy but it's actually really great to have a warm, tender, flavor filled meal waiting on you at the end of the day not the other way around! You waiting on your meal and racing around the kitchen to beat the clock at the end of the day! I love how you can get things so tender and have amazing filling meals for your family with less stress of a dirty unorganized kitchen! The crock pot has brought peace to our home even today I wasn't feeling that well and decided I would still throw my crock pot chicken and dumplings in and I will have a wonderful hearty meal for my family tonight! My husband and kids are loving it! Faith calls me the crock pot queen! I will share these few recipes with you and I am sure I will share more after I try them.
