I'll admit I spend an extraordinary amount of time reading blogs and websites. Maybe not as much time as some, but I do have an obsession and I have a tendancy to go off on a bunny trail. Once I've made my mind up I want to learn something new I spend time "surfing" around until I've exhausted the resources or myself. =)
Some past searches have been about toys for one year old's, recipes and tips for bread making (and still I am horrible at it!), the differences between organic and natural, themes for birthday parties, the list goes on and on! But, one thing I often come back to the ol' interwebs for is recipes. I love to cook and I am always looking for a yummy new recipe to add to my repertoire.
One thing I'm always on the look out for is a great recipe that takes little time. And, I know a great tool for this is your trusty crockpot. But, sadly, I don't have that many great crockpot recipes. I basically use mine for roasts, bbq, beans, and the occasional stew or soup.
One of the websites that has made a debut across my computer screen more than once is the blog A Year of Slowcooking. I am SURE you are familiar, no? I was fascinated that Stephanie, the author of this blog had pledged to use her crockpot everyday for a whole year! And, I found a good recipe or two while reading along!
Well, if you are also a lover of Stephanie's blog - or if you just want to learn how to make better use of your crockpot you're going to love her new book: "MAKE IT FAST, COOK IT SLOW: The Big Book of Everyday Slow Cooking"
She has recipes for everything from Korean barbecue ribs to cheesecake - for your slow cooker! I have enjoyed reading this cookbook and there are several recipes that will be making an appearance on my meal plan soon. In particular, I can't wait to try the buffalo chicken dip, black-eyed pea soup, and apple oatmeal - to name a few. This cookbook is simple to read, simple to understand, and I love "The Verdict" that she gives at the end of each recipe. It is a little insider information about how she and her husband, friends, or children responded to the meal.
