Crockpot Meals All Year Long

Okay, this gal, Stephanie is a woman after my own heart. She has made the New Year’s resolution to prepare and eat meals cooked in her crockpot every day for the whole year of 2009! Talk about creativity, she shares her adventure on her blog, so perfectly named Crockpot 365. Stephanie also brings up a good point too, it’s quite frugal to cook this way.

Start Your Own Kitchen Sisters’ Club

Pinto Beans and Ham Anyone?

How about an easy-to-cook recipe for pinto beans and ham in the crockpot? Well, Mommy’s Kitchen is sharing this recipe and a tip too; if you add some baking soda to the water you soak the pinto beans in, it helps to alleviate some of the gas usually associated with eating beans!

Chicken & Black Bean Soft Tacos

I really like black beans when we have Mexican food for dinner. I visited Cristi’s Chefability blog this week and read about how she started cooking at the sweet age of 9. Her family owned a restaurant while she was growing up and she learned everything about cooking from her mom. Her recipe for Chicken & Black Bean Soft Tacos is on my list for our next Mexican dinner.
