    Let's Plan Thanksgiving in the Crockpot!

    I have several crockpots and would love to put them to work for Thanksgiving to save time and free up the oven and stove. Let's post ways to put those slow cookers to work this year. Do you have any recipes you use or that could be converted to crock pot cooking for this holiday? Or do you have...

    Does the Arrangement of Food in the Fridge Influence your Choices?

    It might work for kids but it would never work for me. If I knew the Hershey bar was in there, I wouldn't quit digging until I found it.

    What is a manual crockpot?

    I own two. They are the same brands and almost identical except one has a removable stoneware crock and the other is one-piece unit. They even have the same design. They have lasted me 10+ years as well. The problem is they are smaller than what I like to use these days. However, I have gone...

    crockpot baked potatoes

    Well that makes sense. I just always thought you had to have liquid int with no matter what you cooked.

    Fill Crockpot to the Top or Not?

    Absolutely! Filling it too high does seem to slow the cooking time and not having enough in there, particularly liquid can lead to burning. I've learned this the hard way!

    Homemade Stuffing for Turkey or Boxed?

    I have used the Stove Top Stuffing mix as my base and then just add the other ingredients like chopped celery and onion. I don't have to add too many spices either but I like the taste and texture of having the veggies in the stuffing too.

    Home Remedies for Boosting Memory

    I take a cod liver oil capsule every day because it helps with joint pain. I also eat almonds almost everyday because it's a good snack that's allowed on my low carb diet. Hopefully the combination will help keep me sharp as a tack for years to come! lol

    Off to Buy a New Crockpot. But Which Should You Buy?

    The automatic shut off feature is wonderful. Or at least if it shifts to "warm" so the food stays warm but doesn't continue to cook and possibly burn. I love the programmable ones. I've just had bad luck with them not lasting as long as the others.

    Do You Feel Safe leaving Your Crockpot On While You Are Not Home?

    I have never had an issue with a crock pot that caused concern of fire either while I was home or away. The worst that has ever happened is the crock pot didn't work at all and I came home to a cold uncooked meal.

    Ways to Destress

    I loved scented candles, especially those that use essential oils. Lavender is great for destressing. I also put on symphonic music, like soundtracks to movies that have music I like, not necessarily just classical music but works too. Adding a little sugar free flavored syrup to my coffee...

    Getting Cash Back Online Shopping

    Another great way to save money online is by buying discounted giftcards through Cardpool. People who would prefer cash over a giftcard can sell their giftcards to them at a discount. Then the card is sold to customers like you and I. So for example, you may be able to buy a $10 gift card to...

    Slow Cooker Wax paper Sheets for Crafts and Wreath Directions

    That wreath is darling. I would dress it up a bit with some holly leaves & berries for color and contrast. I was thinking road maps would be fun to do but not for a wreath. I have a bunch of old maps I need to find a crafty idea for.
