Fall is SUPER BUSY to do at work...and I typically get home late and do not own time to cook (Okay I am going to admit it..I don't FEEL like cooking! ) I ENJOY using my crock pot not thought about pre-assembling food (until I found PINTEREST) we could freeze & dump while in the crock pot before I look at work in the A NEW. M. There is nothing beats coming home to a house that smells like you will have been slaving away right through the day making a gourmet dinner, when in fact the crock pot did all the work!
