What mom doesn't need some help in the kitchen? Well, as I'm waiting for my sous chef to arrive, I have been picking up a few tips. My new found cooking tool is my slow cooker! It is amazing. I have the new calphalon 7 quart slow cooker and I absolutely love it.

I am not always able to stand in the kitchen and cook especially with a 6 month old bellowing for his mommy to hold him so I usually just dump all of my ingredients in there and let it cook. I recently made some chili, chicken with vegetable, vegetables with rice and chicken cacciatore in it and it all comes out quite delicious and warm. All you need is a little bit of creativity and whatever ingredients are on hand for a great meal. I am sure this is going to be used more often as the winter months start coming in. It really is a time saver and a sanity saver!

I love my crock pot! :hula: Now that it's fall my DH doesn't have a problem with me using it (he's such a dork sometimes LOL). I have a ton of recipes but they're packed in a box at my mom's so I'm going to have to be creative and do something on my own. Or look online but that's almost more work than flipping through a cookbook... :hehe:

I JUST told DH I wanted a crock pot. It may have been inspired by jo, though :hehe:

Farah, this crock pot is freakin' awesome! I cooked in another one which heated the food too much and the sides would burn but this one is PERFECT.
