Crock Pot Dinners.

One of the gifts we received as newlyweds

was a Crock Pot. At the time, we were

both working full time and it was a great

gift to come home after a long day at

work to a fully cooked meal. Even after

we started having children and I was home

for decades, we still used it a lot. It was

great to have time with my little ones

and as they got older. To not be standing

all day long in the kitchen was such a

bonus. Dance classes, music lessons,

football practice and art sessions were

our priority but feeding our family was

also important. Having time and good

meals was and continues to be just what

we need to manage this busy life.

So here we are 32, almost 33 years later.

We chatted one day that with the amount

of use of our Crock Pot and the age, it

was probably time to replace it, even

though we've not had any issues. But we

wouldn't want to take a big risk. That

very weekend we were in the Big City.

And guess what was on sale? Yup.

Great price, free small dipper pot and

now we have a new toy. Our first meal

was a roasted chicken. So good. Second

meal was a big pot of chili, perfect on a

snowy Sunday afternoon. Trying to figure

out what our next meal will be. I feel safer

now with a new Crock Pot and am very

thankful for such a very frugal amount.
