New Obsession

Last night, my roommate, Hilary, made an absolutely delicious dinner with the crock pot. Maybe it was just because I was super hungry and hadn't eaten much all day, but I just couldn't get enough of it. Even so that I had leftovers for lunch today (and that's saying something. I'm not a huge fan of left overs). My mom used the crock pot a lot back home, and until yesterday, it never really dawned on me to use it for yummy and pretty easy meals.

I remembered one of my sisters posting a link to a blog called A Year of Slow Cooking that features tons of delicious crock pot recipes. So this morning, I found that blog again and starting looking through all the archives. Can I just say, everything looked absolutely delicious! Since it was my turn to make dinner for my roommates, I decided that I would pick one of the recipes. It's perfect, because since it's Wednesday and I work until 8, I'm just letting it cook while I"m here so it'll be nice and done when I get home. I narrowed it down to two recipes. Orange Chicken or Green Pepper Chicken, mainly because I had pretty much all the ingredients. I decided this in the middle of my Joseph Smith class (while listening, of course!) and I let Forrest pick which one he wanted. He picked the green pepper chicken, which I was excited to make. Unfortunately when I get home, I realized that for this dish I had to have some kind of blender...and I lacked that. So I'm going to have to head to DI one of these days and find one because it looks delicious. So I found another recipe, Lazy Chicken, which is probably the easiest thing on there. I put it on to cook before I left for work, and I can't wait to go home and try it! I am seriously obsessed with that website; I can't wait to try all the new and yummy recipes on there. I'm really excited about some of the more involved ones. Yum!
