I tried the tower one summer and while I got great plants, I never got potatoes. I might try the wheelbarrow system though!

Extra cash? Where do you find that? lol! We have a savings but it never seems to get very far. There's always some unexpected expense. We also have an IRA and a 401k plan for retirement. Plus we sunk some money into a couple of rental properties so we would have an income when we retire and...

I don't really have a preference. I grew a few herbs one year and to be honest, I couldn't really tell the difference in the cooking or flavor.

Hey SlowCookMama - Would you mind explaining just how you made it into a tea? I've read of people taking all sorts of things and making them into teas but I don't know how they do it. Do you just heat water and then drop in a teaspoon of the ginger and a clove? Or do you make regular tea and add...

College - as in I wish I could afford to go!

That is interesting. So many people drink it first thing in the morning, myself included, to help wake up. This is suggesting we shouldn't. I might have to give it a try.

I have a friend who swears by avocados for weight loss. She's lost 50+ lbs and she uses them for everything. She adds some to hamburgers like other would add lettuce. She also says they are great with bacon and mixed into salads. I am trying to lose a lot of weight but for some reason I have...

Don't forget to check on elderly family members, friends and neighbors. They can be overcome quickly by the heat and may not be able to request help before succumbing to the heat.

I like to make chocolates for various holidays and special events like birthdays. I have dozens and dozens of chocolate molds. I buy the bags of colored meltable chocolates (like @Wilton's)) and separate the colors into pint-sized mason jars. I pour some water into the crock and set the jars in...

The two I had were different brands. The crocks were both oval in shape bu t the slope of the sides was somewhat different. That left me wondering if the one without its own original base would heat properly because the sides wouldn't necessarily come into contact with the heating portion of the...

I did not know you could transfer Bing points to Swagbucks! I may just do that. My husband does the Bing points. He uses his to buy music for his MP3 player.

I agree. I need to see and learn about an item before I buy it so I know it will do what I want it to do.

Does anyone know if crocks can be used interchangeably between bases assuming the crock is the same relative size, for example 3 quarts? I have had the heating base go bad but the crock itself is just fine. Of course a new crock comes with the unit when you buy one. In the past, I have tried to...

I love fajitas! You can substitute pork aor chicken in this recipe. I make mine low carb by skipping the tortilla and eating it with a fork.

Yes, and broken up eggshells too!

Ooh! I like that idea - the 3 different meals and then not cooking for a couple of nights. I sue my big crock pot to make double batches of stuff so I can freeze some. I never considered using the 3-pot setup that way. I might have to ask for one of those for Christmas!

My husband's office has several parties thoughout the year and I have sent crock pot dishes almost every time. I've haven't had any problems except that he brings them home uncleaned after they've been sitting all day. What a mess to clean up! lol

Ingredients: 1 cup chopped onion 2 medium tomatoes, diced 1 medium green pepper, chopped 4 cups hot water 3 tablespoons curry powder 4 teaspoons low-sodium instant chicken bouillon granules 1 tablespoon ketchup 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs or 1 1/2 lbs...

OK, Susan. I have to ask. What would you cook in the 3-pot setup for you and hubby? I can't think of 3 things I would crock pot at the same time for just the 2 of us. Inspire me! lol
