    Crockpot is so convenient! I love it. My favorite meal is actually made in a crockpot. It’s just pork tenderloin, bbq sauce, and half a can of root beer, and oh man it’s DELICIOUS. Currently over here drooling just thinking about it.

      Root beer, I bet that would be good!

    We like to make all kinds of peas & beans in the crock pot. Our most recent was black beans with onions & green bell peppers & spices. We then serve it over rice. I can’t chew the meat very well, but Jack likes andouille sausage in it also. It gives the beans a good flavor. A few weeks before that we made lentil stew. It’s pretty much lentil soup but is thicker, so I call it stew. It’s got lentils, carrots, celery, & ground beef. This one might be my favorite since it reminds me of the lentil soup my mom used to make. I like the thicker version because it’s so much less messy to eat – i.e. it doesn’t fall off the spoon on the way to my mouth the way soup does!

      I like my soups thick as well.

    Glad I could offer some inspiration! I actually just used my crockpot today to make a dish that I’m serving for Thanksgiving. It’s normally smoked ground pork sausage with baby potatoes and cheese, but the store was out of the sausage that I wanted so I just used regular ground sausage. I’m actually pretty happy with how it turned out. I think it might be better than my last batch.

      That sounds good too. You might have to make a crockpot cookbook!

      That sounds delicious! I agree with the cookbook idea. Or a food blog 🙂

      I have to admit that most (okay all) of my recipes come from other peoples cookbooks or blogs! 😂 Sometime I just modify them slightly if the store doesn’t have what I need or there’s an ingredient that I don’t like. So I really can’t take any credit for them.

    Also, you get lots of brownie points for saying my name right! That doesn’t happen very often!

      Oh good! I’m horrible with pronouncing names, so glad I got it.

      That was one of the best pronunciations I’ve heard in a while!
