    We use our crockpots (yes, more than one--we own 3 extra large and 2 small) many ways for our large family (mom, dad, 9 kids) Thanks for sharing your ideas!

    I absolutely love my slow cooker. My husband needs to eat dinner about two hours before the rest of the family (he works nights), so it provides everyone with a good meal that involves very little work.

    I just found your post on Mom 2 Mom Monday and I love the list of ideas. Before coming to the US from Europe I haven't heard about a slow cooker. We got one as a gift 2 years ago and we use it occasionally. Now we can use it way more often. Thank you!

    Slow cooker cheese cake?! I need to get on that. As the weather heats up here in Texas, I will be using my slow cooker more to keep the temp down in my tiny place. I always think of it for dinner items, though. This makes me want to try some dessert foods in there!
