Today I'm 1/2-way to my goal of 30 days. I can say I'm thankful for that, which I am, but I can think of something much better that I'm thankful for to blog about: my crock pot!I love slow cookers. I use it at least once/week. Three days per week I go with Jer to the gym. It's so nice to come home to a warm meal already cooked.
I don't have to prepare very much, nor do I have to spend any energy trying to figure out what to make. It's as if elves came while I was gone and filled the house with the aroma of slow-cooked food. It's wonderful!I've made many things in my crock pot. I've even tried desserts. I made a pumpkin cake once. It was really good!
Tonight we will have Italian herb chicken, mixed vegetables, garlic bread (when I don't have any, I used sliced bread, spread it with butter, add garlic powder and grate some Parmesan cheese on top and throw it in the toaster oven for a couple of minutes!), and tapioca pudding for dessert!There's something about a crock pot meal while it's cold outside that is wonderful. I smell it...it's warm...it's tasty...it feels like home.

This sounds SO good! I love the comfort of warm yummy food in the cold weather! You've convinced me to use my crock pot more often. :)
Now I'm really sad that my crock pot just recently broke. I had it for about 10 years, but didn't use it near as often as you do. I'll have to try some desserts next time, they sound yummy. Do you think Santa will give me a slow cooker for Christmas?
You make me wish I had a crock pot... this is the perfect weather for it :) Warm food again... sounds delicious!
