i recently stumbled upon a fellow blogger, stephanie o'dea, who chronicled her year of slow cooking with her crock pot on her blog. a WHOLE year of cooking with a crock pot. wow!
i must admit...i am really fascinated by a crock pot. i mean, you put the ingredients in, leave it alone, and mere hours later, you get a delicious meal! my mom was always a big fan of the crock pot when we were growing up. the second principal that i worked for gave all the new brides in our school a crock pot as a wedding gift. i think everyone falls into the "pro crock pot" category or the "i could care less about a crock pot" category. so, i'll admit it, i'm in the former. stephanie o'dea had me at slow cooking...
not only only did i read many of her entries, i tried a few of the recipes that she offered. some didn't work out...but that could admittedly be because they were recipes with 4 hour cook times and unfortunately, they cooked more like 6 or 8 hours. YIKES!
all in all, she has a wealth of recipes to share and i will keep her blog (and perhaps even her upcoming book) handy. plus, cooking along with the recipes somehow seems like a great blog companion to my current read, julie and julia. i can't wait for the movie to arrive in theaters on august 7th!
to you and yours, bon appetit!
grace and peace,
dana

James and I saw Julie and Julia last weekend and it was so good!
I am hearing so many good things about that movie! Wondering if I should read the book first? And I need to use my slow cooker more!
