    Am I The Only One That Doesn't Like The SIte Colors?

    Personally, I like the bright colors. This forum does not look like everyone else's forum. However, that is just my personal taste. Like you suggested, it might work well to have the option of being able to change your screen colors.

    What's for Dinner Tonight in Your Crockpot?

    This sounds good. I would add two things. I would add potatoes because I love starchy foods. I might also add mushrooms. I think the mushrooms could add another level of earthiness to the dish.

    BBQ Rump Roast Slow Cooker Recipe - One of our favorites

    I have tried it with Coke and Dr Pepper but not root beer. I could not taste the difference between the two pops (or sodas). I basically used whichever one I had on hand at the time. I might have to try it with root beer just out of curiosity. Just don't forget to drain the juices. I did...

    Oldest Crock Pot Known to Man?

    Corningware is a great brand. That is wonderful that the crockpot is still working. I know mine is 15 years old. I received mine as a wedding gift 15 years ago, and it works great. Just look out for cracks in the inner pot. Don't get the inside of the bottom or outer part wet. Dry off...

    What new features should we add next?

    I have one suggestion. Is it possible to have tags on a new thread? This would be a good way to search through topics. I did not see that option when I made my new threads.

    I have cooked pork chops in the crock pot before, and they turned out great. I am not sure if that is tailgating food. I have never been to a tailgate party. What about something with sausage and rice? Something that you could make as a sturdy dip with nacho chips or either put inside a...

    Any recipes for homemade ciders for the slow cooker?

    Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas

    We do not celebrate Halloween so we have no plans on Thursday. For Thanksgiving, we are driving five hours north to see my family and spend time with them. I can't wait!

    Adapting Recipes for the Crockpot

    I agree about the pasta getting soggy if cooked for too long. I usually stay away from recipes with pasta because of this very reason. Sometimes, I have added long-grain or brown rice as a substitute for the pasta. However, make sure it is not the instant rice. That can become mushy too.

    Crock Pot Nutrition Advantages

    I have never heard of this argument. I think some things taste better in the crockpot. Some things need time to simmer and have their flavors blend better. For example, I think chili and potato soup from the crockpot tastes so much better than quick cooking them on the stove. I have never...

    BBQ Rump Roast Slow Cooker Recipe - One of our favorites

    BBQ Rump Roast Slow Cooker Recipe - One of our favorites One of our favorite crockpot meals is really simple. I get one beef roast or rump roast. I don't have a preference. It is usually whatever one is on sale for the week. I put it on low and add a can of Coke. I let it cook all day...

    Hamilton Crock Pot - Kitty Approved!

    I know how you feel! If you look at my avatar picture, that is my male cat sitting in my sink. I found him like this one morning. I have also found him in an old Dr Pepper box! The best place I found him sitting was in his water bowl to eat his lunch. Crazy thing!
