Weekend Things
>> Friday, January 31, 2014
I want to find a way to use my slow cooker for an entire week of meals. Mostly, I'm curious to see how it impacts my grocery bill and lessens the loads of dishes we usually do. The whole convenience factor is undeniable, but eating lots of soups would get boring, so I need to branch out.
I was so happy with the positive feedback I got on my 10 Steps to Slow Cooker Perfection for soups and stews. I'd love to develop a similar guide for other meals, so stay tuned for that post as I refine my own process as it relates to his handy device.
(Some of you asked what slow cooker we have. It's an old hand-me-down, but it's similar to this one that's just under $12. I'd also love to possibly get a double crock pot in the future for cooking up, like, dinner and dessert at the same time. And yes, I am intrigued by slow cooker desserts!)

And here's what you may have missed on Writing Chapter Three:
- What's Inside My Makeup Bag -- And how I'm organizing it these days.
- Lately -- Thoughts on moving houses, a career in nursing, and more.
- My New "Office" -- How I'm carving out office space in our small home.
- Thoughts on Baby #2: Budget -- How much will another baby really cost us?
