    Chili Recipe

    I am looking for an easy chili recipe for the crockpot. I prefer to have the chili on the soupy side rather than thick. So far the ones I have tried have never turned out well and didn't taste too good.

    Saute Vegetables Before Putting Them in Crockpot

    I do the same as you and never bothered to sauté anything before throwing it in the crockpot. I really don't see that it would make that much of a difference anyway.

    Crock Pot Cube Steak and Gravy

    I went to youtube when I found the recipe, then I hit share, imbed and got the link there. It works for me that way on other websites but not on this one. When you inserted the link on here, did it come up as a video right away or did you have to hit post first?

    Cure for Grey Hair

    There are two reasons why blackstrap molasses is so good for our hair. Firstly, many of the minerals found in blackstrap, such as selenium, manganese and zinc, are antioxidants which, due to their free radical-scavenging abilities, are well-known for their anti-aging benefits. In fact, one of...

    Supposedly taking a teaspoon of black strap molasses each day for a few months will reverse or stop grey hair. Has anyone ever heard of this or knew anyone who tried it? There is a ton of information on this and a lot of testimonials that say it works.

    Corned Beef...Do you prefer point cut or flat cut?

    The only difference I could tell was that the point cut was much more tender than a flat cut but that could be just the brand that it was. That's kind of why I was asking on here if anyone else could tell a difference between the two cuts.

    Corned Beef...Do you prefer point cut or flat cut?

    I made my corned beef in my crockpot and it turned out well. This is the first time I had ever cooked a point cut instead of a flat cut. The point cut was much more tender than the flat cuts ever were. Does anybody have a preference or notice a difference between the two cuts of meat?

    Record Breaking Onion

    I was thinking that this onion would make for some extra extra large onion rings. :D I also wonder about the quality of these large vegetables. Perhaps this onion might be very hot or tough or have some kind of other quality we wouldn't like because of its large size.
