Can you guess what my simple pleasure is today? One guess….you got it. My Crockpot, actually I have three and I love them all. :)
With the cooler weather upon us, I decided today to use mine, and then I got real motivated and pulled the other one out and am using it too. So today, I am using not one but two of them. First one is full of a chicken and corn chowder, ummmmmm yummy, and the second is cooking up a warm apple crisp.
My Crockpot makes my life so much easier, I love the way my house smells with aromas when dinner is cooking. I also love the fact that I can toss everything into it and walk away and have a warm, tasty, and satisfying meal at the end of the day without alot of effort.

I love this, Cindy! What a perfect simple pleasure, cooking in a crock pot, and so easy. I'm putting a new one on my Christmas list this year. Thanks for that reminder. ;)
ReplyDeleteAlways good to see you at the party.
It's not very fall-ish here yet, but I love my crockpot, too! Just a few more weeks of warm days and I'm sure we'll be pulling it out soon for roast pork...yummy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me to drag mine out. I love looking around your place.
ReplyDeleteJoining you today,

Hi Cindy, Yes I'm in England, I live just on the Lancashire/Yorkshire border and we love the Dales. Bolton Abbey and Fountains Abbey are two of my favourite places. Do you know them? OK, now I'm digressing...
ReplyDeleteI love my slow cooker too, my girls call it my cauldron!
I, too, love my crockpots especially at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I make my dressing and mashed potatoes a day early and put them on early in the day on Holidays. No mess, no fuss, just delicious yuminess--Your corn and chicken chowder sounds so, so good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me that it's time to start using it a little more.
This is a great Simple Pleasure, for sure!
ReplyDeleteI love visiting everyone and seeing all their ideas.
Yea! for crock pots!
Fantastic! I just pulled my crock pot out today as well! I cooked a bunch of chicken breasts. I made an enchilada casserole for dinner tonight and froze the rest of the chicken for future use!
ReplyDeleteWhy I do not use my crockpot more often is a mystery! I love to use it. I love the smells coming from it and that "voila" feeling when a meal cooks itself.
ReplyDeleteYou make me want to get mine out.
I recently even read (out here...you know... in blogland) that you can make quick breads in them. And apple butter!
What will "they" think of next?
Crock pots are indeed a simple pleasure.
I'm like Debbie, I don't know why I don't use mine more often. I do tend to use it more in the fall and winter. It's nice to have a pot of soup ready when we come home from work.
ReplyDeleteYes, crockpots are a simple pleasure.
blessings,
Joan
Loving this pleasure!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteI love my crockpot and just used it a week ago to make a ratatouille. I'd never made one before and the hardest part about it was cutting and peeling the veggies! Easy peasy in the crockpot! Great Simple Pleasure!
