When I think about what really works for me… there are many things that I come to mind. I love a short cut and because this is such a busy time in my life, I rely on them!

I have to say though the best thing for time saving convenience is my crock pot! I even replaced my old one that was working fine but had lost one handle and it really bugged me

To put frozen, canned, fresh, whatever in this thing and turn it on late morning… and voila dinner is served is remarkable to me every time! I haven’t had many failures in the crockpot. I made oatmeal overnight once that was truly inedible. Otherwise I am always pretty pleased with the contents after several hours of slow cooking.

Sandra hosts Slow Cooker Thursdays and there are so many new and delicious recipes to try. I have tried a couple of new ones this week and am amazed at how good they are.

Here’s a recipe I like to make “taco chicken“…

Another good one “garlic chicken spaghetti“…

I also made this recipe in the crockpot this week “Golden Artichoke Bake” and reviewed it here.

Okay, now head over to Rocks In My Dryer for more Works for me Wednesday participants & to join in!!!
