This article, originally written in April, never got the chance to be published. Here it is now, for your viewing pleasure—crockpot ideas are good at any time of the year!


I asked some friends about their Mother's Day routines and menus and one sweet friend said, "Our Mother's Day Tradition is that Mom (me) tries to do everything she can the day before or throws everything into a crockpot that morning". So in honor of her and all the other mom's cooking out their own meal of honor this article is called "What a Crock!".

Here are delicious Special-Enough-For-Mom recipes that you can toss in to the slow cooker so you can enjoy some time with your feet up, reading a book, or maybe even a nice little nap on this special day.

***Want to try more than one recipe in a day? Want to do breakfast, dinner, and dessert all in a slow-cooker? Borrow one from a friend or neighbor. There is no rule that you can only use one at a time and I promise you will have the best smelling house on the block all day! ***
