    Amazon or Ebay?

    I would go with Amazon over eBay any day. eBay has been trying to play god for years with all their fees and rules. They also work with PayPal who have a lot of their customers complaining about them. Amazon has their own personal payment processor which is great, I've never had a problem with...

    What Is Your Dream Crockpot?

    My dream crock pot would be some kind of device that would also include a deep fryer. My favorite two types of foods are meats that are slowly cooked for hours and anything that can be deep fried, like chicken wings and french fries. If they could make something that could do both I might not...

    POLL: Would You Prefer an App?

    I really don't use my phone for internet access very much. I like using my lap top a lot better. However, EVERYTHING on the internet is moving towards mobile devices these days. It's actually the third "phase" of the internet. The first one was email, dial up internet, and AOL, phase two was...

    Crock pot breakfast recipes?

    Like Rash085 said, most of my breakfasts are made in a frying pan like eggs, bacon, and sausage. One dish I could recommend you make though would be meatballs and eggs. You could just make the meatballs in your crock pot and fry the eggs in a pan. Once they're all done just combine them and see...

    Indoor Herb/Fruit/Vegetable Gardens

    I'm not really sure how effective this method could be. The only things I've ever grown in a pot outside a window are flowers. However, you could always try to grow something small and see how it turns out. If it's too big it probably won't work out too well because you'd have to transfer it to...

    Having A Hard Time In My Garden

    I recently started gardening a couple years ago and I'm having a hard time. I've been trying to plant corn, onions, potatoes, and strawberries. For some reason my potatoes and onions are growing really small. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. They get plenty of sunlight and I water them daily...

    Best healthy diet?

    I've been able to lose weight pretty quickly every time I've tried. The diet I used was the "egg diet". It's kind of like Atkins but the majority of what you eat is eggs. You can eat as many eggs as you want since there's only 100 calories per egg and you get lots of protein. You can also eat as...

    Sugar Free - Brown Sugar????

    Honey is a great alternative for sure. I used to work at a sugar factory and we used to also sell molasses there. We would just sell all the extra molasses that wasn't used to make the brown sugar. If you use it in your cooking you'll pretty much get the same taste as brown sugar if you use it...

    Starting off with the crockpot and finishing off with the broiler/oven

    I've cooked roasts this way plenty of times. I just leave it in the crock pot for about three hours then after that I stick it in the oven for another hour. It turns out great every time this way and I always use this method now. The meat is so tender that you can cut it with a spoon. If you've...

    Thrifty Crocking for Broke Moms...!

    I'm not sure where you live, but here in Michigan we have this store called Blue Knight. They have really cheap food there. A lot of the food is a little outdated but they have a lot of meat that you get really good deals on. You can't find better deals on meat than you can at that store! The...

    Thanksgiving in a Slow Cooker?

    I've made a turkey in a slow cooker many times. It always comes out real delicate and juicy. I few times I actually deep fried the turkey and I'd have to say I like the taste a lot better. It took about the same amount of time and effort as in the slow cooker too. I think it might be a little...

    Different Ways Of Preparing Pork Chops?

    I'm not really a big fan of pork chops because for some reason but there's got to be some unique ways to prepare them that I might be able to handle. Maybe a certain dry rub that you guys use or a certain way to marinate it. I'd be open to any suggestions as I like to try new things. Please be...

    Italian Pot Roast with Penne Pasta Crockpot Recipe

    That sounds like a really good recipe. A couple things I would change would be to make a nice dry rub for it before cooking. I'd use some cayenne pepper, garlic salt, onion salt, and of course brown sugar. Then I'd keep on adding butter to it for even more flavor. The penne pasta that you added...

    What do you buy online?

    I like to buy used cds online. I know a lot of people just download music these days but I like to have the case and the booklet that come with it. I've actually bought a couple used lap tops online which I got at a very good rate. I'm not sure if this counts as online but I buy a lot of items...

    Safe To Use Your Crock Pot When You're Not Home?

    I personally would never do it. I'm way to much of a paranoid person and I'd be worrying about it every second until I got back home. I'm sure nothing would go wrong if you did, but then again you never know. You could have it set for too long and it start burning or you could have some kind of...

    It's Cooling Off Outside - What Are Your Plans?

    I don't plan on doing anything outside that's for sure! I live in Michigan and it's only 5 degrees outside today. I'll probably make some chilli, it always warms me up in the winter. I love making it spicy with some hot sauce. I like to add a lot of cheese and sour cream on top too.

    Yummy crock pot lasagna recipe!

    That sounds so good, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. I think I might add a little more mozzeralla cheese though since you can never have too much of that! Looks like a great recipe. I'm going to try it tonight for sure, I haven't had lasagna in a while.

    Favorite Restaurant!

    My favorite restaurant has got to be the Great Wall Buffet. It's just a regular China buffet here in Bay City, Michigan, but I could eat there everyday. They have the best chicken wings and egg drop soup. I also love their crab meat cheese and their mozzarella sticks. They have so many kinds of...

    Super Bowl thread!

    I was hoping it was going to be the New England Patriots but after last week I know that's not going to happen. I would probably have to go with the Denver Broncos since they have Manning at QB. I still can't believe he left the Colts but I guess he made the right move seeing that Indianapolis...
