By

Crock pots (or slow cookers, depending on where you're from) are an absolute blessing for the busy cook. When you can just throw some ingredients into your crock pot in the morning and come home from work to a hot, delicious, nutritious dinner, you know that you're utilizing one of the most beneficial kitchen gadgets ever.
Crock pot is a simple way to cook healthy foods that can help keep your family away from the siren song of fast food on busy days. Who has time to come home from work, help the kids with homework, tidy the house, wash the breakfast dishes, and make and eat dinner before rushing off to band practice or whatever other activity is happening that night?
When you use crock pot to balance out your weekly meals, you can save valuable evening time that you would have normally spent dinner. If you decide to have pot roast for dinner that night, you simply throw the roast and some raw vegetables into the crock pot, add some spices, and cover with water. Put on the lid, start the crock pot on the low setting, and come home nine hours later to a fully cooked and nutritious meal. doesn't get any easier than that.
Not Just for Dinner Anymore
Crock pot isn't just about dinner, though. Breakfast can join in the fun with an unconventional contribution from the crock pot. Have you ever thought of using the crock pot method for scrambled eggs? Simply throw a few ingredients into the crock pot and then relax on the sofa reading the Sunday paper for a few hours. By the time you're ready for brunch, you'll have
Introduction
Hi, I am the author of a vegan cookbook and hope to link up with like minded people.
Some details about my book:
In today’s meat-centric society, it can be difficult to find a selection of vegetarian options. For vegans, finding tasty food that
A forum newbie!
Hello! I've been meatless since, um, 1998. Dairy and eggs come and go from my diet. My original reason for quitting meat was to avoid animal protein and thus protect my poor kidneys (I became insulin-dependent diabetic at age 4, in the long long a
Turning 50
I've never had a birthday party so have decided to for my upcoming 50th. People who are sending RSVPs are being very considerate about asking what to bring (since I'm vegan and no one else is) for the pot luck. I am grateful.

Recurring UTI's in male cat
Anyone here ever have to deal with this problem? Patratel had his penis removed about a year ago because his bladder keeps shedding its inner wall and it was blocking him every 24 hours. Crystal blockages can be addressed with medication and dietar
Revving up for fall
So after a long, sloth-like summer, I've undone all the good that I had previously accomplished, fitness-wise.
Therefore, I have to kick it up a notch for fall. Along with better diet, here is my weekly fitness plan for the next four months:
weekday vegan cookbook suggestion?
I am looking for a suggestion for a vegan cookbook with really easy recipes. I'm talking like 30 minutes to make, maximum. I find that I'm always eating garbage on weekdays because I don't want to make the recipes I have because they take too long.
considering dropping the ISP
We have satellite internet. It has never been great, but has lately become horrible. I get "satellite outage" errors all the time. It is really frustrating. I have not called the ISP lately, but in the past when I have they have always, every single
Going to Portland
Oregon, not Maine. Anyone have any must-sees, must-eats, or hotel recommendations? Hotels are crazy expensive there, and my traveling companion wants to stay in or near downtown. I want to be able to sleep at night.
Howdy all!
Hi there! I've been vegetarian (allllmost vegan) since February 2007 and I love it! I joined VegPeople to make some new veggie friends, discuss issues and encourage others who are making the switch.
I also recently started a blog in order to hold m
a crock pot full of hot scrambled eggs waiting for you.
How about using the crock pot method for a delicious dessert? Apple desserts do especially well with crock pot because their flavor increases as they're allowed to steep in their own juices. However, there are hundreds of other dessert recipes that take to crock pot extremely well.
Even side dishes can get in on the crock pot fun. Making refried beans is so simple in a crock pot that you'll wonder why you ever bothered to buy them in a can. They taste so much better when fresh that you'll never want to eat those canned beans again, anyway.
Easy and Healthy
Crock pot not only saves you time – it can actually make you healthier. By having a hot meal waiting for you at home, there's no need to order a greasy pizza at the end of an exhausting day. Crock pot also lets you cook without added fat for most meals, so you save on calories and fat grams while making a filling and delicious meal. There's no kitchen appliance that benefits your family more than a crock pot while delivering such a great return on your initial investment.
