I’m not sure about you, but I have fallen victim to some serious crock pot flops! Yuck! In fact, until recently, I was actually afraid to use them because I was afraid of coming home to something gross not even resembling something I would call dinner, let alone actually feed to my family. That being said, with the craziness of my family’s schedule, soccer practices, violin lessons, flag football, swimming lessons, and on and on, I actually dusted mine off and have had some pretty successful attempts at crock pot cooking lately! Whew! However, I still feel pretty limited as to what I might try to make in one. That is until I received this new cookbook in the mail.
I’m thinking this would be so good with soft warm bread sticks, don’t you think? Would you like your own copy? I’ve got a copy up for grabs for one JCD reader!

Not so sure it’s a tip, but every since I got my crock pots and now have teenagers, I know what I am getting them when they move out. A crock pot! How much easier is it to make a home cooked dinner than with a crock pot before going to class or work in the morning?
I love beef stew in the crock pot! To prevent soggy potatoes and carrots, I usually par-boil them on the stove then add them to the slow cooker about a 1/2 hour before serving with the slow cooker on high. Make sure there is enough broth in the slow cooker as well. Thank you for the chance to win!
My super easy fave crock pot recipe: 4 frozen chicken breasts, 1 container of salsa. Cook. Shred. Now you have chicken for enchiladas, nachos, tacos, or tortilla soup. Stir in a block of cream cheese after shredding for a fabulous enchilada filling. YUM!
My favorite recipe is slowcooker apple butter. It makes canning it a breeze, because you can cook it over night.

I love a crockpot roast! You can use about any kind of meat, and it falls apart everytime!
My favorite slowcooker recipe is BBQ chicken or pork chops. Soooo easy and delicious every time!!! I use boneless skinless chicken or boneless pork chops (you don’t have too though, can be bone in as well), a bottle of any kind of BBQ sauce you can imagine and slow cook for 6-8 hours. Turns out great every time! 🙂
My favorite food in the crock: sloppy joes – easy for anyone to grab whenever they’re hungry – especially when we have busy days!
My tip: don’t forget to oil your crock OR use liners – makes clean-up much easier!
Three envelope chicken is my favorite. It is so simple and tastes like you worked really hard on it 🙂
My new favorite crock pot tip is always use the crock pot liners. They make clean up a breeze. I love them & don’t use my crock pot without them. 🙂
My fave tip is using tin foil to wrap up apples, peaches, potatoes, or onions while I roast chicken or cook steak in the crockpot….prop the chicken on the wrapped fruit or veggie, same for the steak…use a more fatty cut of steak.
My favorite crock pot recipe is shredded BBQ chicken. So simple to make and good on salads, sandwiches, potatoes, or alone.
