Love hearing al...I am so going to try this recipe!! Love hearing all the tips your learning. I love cooking with a crockpot, its my absolute favorite. You can make so many things. Here are a few tips I have learned, you may already be doing them but if not, happy to share.<br />-I also shop with a very tight budget, because you guys are so close to 3 different grocery stores, shop where ever has the best deals. Don't just stick to one grocery store. It can be a bit of a pain learning your way around, but don't be afraid to go somewhere new. Who ever has the best deals of items on my list, that who gets my business for the week.<br />-I used to always forget to thaw out frozen meat the night before so that I can put it in the crockpot in the morning. I recently had a friend share her wisdom...You can place frozen meat in the crockpot and it will cook it just fine. I have done frozen chicken and porkchops. They came out even better, so tender, because they were frozen. 8 hours on low for both.<br /><br />I have learned to love meal planning, I love challenging myself to find new meals using the same ingredients so that my shopping list stays short. So far so good!Maricelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07307730488667816502noreply@blogger.com
