The Joy of Slow Cooking

Thanks to Sara for cluing me in to this blog about Crock-Pot cooking. I have been wanting to use my slow cooker more frequently but have very little idea what to cook. My goal is to use it at least once a week. It just seems like it will make life easier in the evenings. It's always a balancing act to get the whole family fed dinner. With Allison in bed by 7pm she's usually hungry by 5:30 at the latest. Well, most nights Mr. Brown doesn't get home until 5:30. So that means I either have to make her a separate meal or I have to try to prepare a meal for all of us while she wants to play and Peter wants to eat. Not fun.

If I can get at least one night of meals done with the slow cooker it would save so much headache. It can be ready for Allison and 5:30 and Mr. Brown & I can eat whenever he gets home.

Do you have a favorite Crock-Pot recipe?
