I come home from work starving a lot of the time and end up eating toast or cereal or something because it would take too long to make something of substance. When I was a single girl I''d cook up something and there''d be enough leftovers for DAYS of meals. Now that I''m a married girl, I don''t get nearly as much mileage out of all the dishes I make, even if I make more than I usually do. I got a crockpot as a wedding gift 2 years ago and I usually throw a whole roaster chicken in there with some onions, carrots, and celery on the bottom, stuff the cavity with onion and lemon, and slip lemon wedges under the skin as well. Makes a great lemony chicken that''s great to eat as is, or shred and throw in chicken salad or atop a green salad, or to throw in a chicken soup. Does anybody do anything cool with their crockpot? I''d love to hear some stories if you do! I''ve got a crockpot recipe book, but I love hearing of things that people can really vouch for. It''s nice to come home, prep some food for 10 minutes (make a sauce or some rice or potato side dish or something) and have dinner ready!
Thanks in advance!
