  2. I love my crock pots, especially for holiday meals. I use a roaster oven for my turkey & crock pots (I have 4 & sometimes wish I had more) for all my sides. Get up in the morning & get everything started, some of which was ready to turn on they night before, & I’m done cooking for the day. Now I can be out of the kitchen & enjoy the day with my family!! I used to miss out on all the fun things my family was doing while I was stuck in the kitchen but not any more.

  5. I can’t thank you enough for this post! For years I have been wanting to try a “slow cooker” Thanksgiving or Christmas. I love to cook, but I’m somewhat of a lazy cook, too! I want to enjoy the day, not be worrying that everything is done on time. These recipes look so delicious and family-friendly. I’m going to copy all of them and keep them. Thank you again so much!!
