When you know you are not going to have time to cook! Dump it in and let it do it’s thing!

My mom use to put things in the crock pot and I have a ton of friends who swear that their lives would not be the same without crock -put recipes, but I just didn’t get it. UNTIL NOW.

Seriously, I just made pulled pork for sandwiches the first time a few years ago.

My biggest question was , “Why didn’t I do this years ago?”

I think I was used to things tasting dry or really greasy, but this recipe caused me to turn over a new leaf. I LOVE this so much because I can make this when all our kids come over and just set out a bag of chips, some homemade fruit cocktail and hoagie rolls.

Yessir! We are ready to eat!m And I am voting we use paper plates!

This is what Lauren of Lauren Gruetman has to say about this hungry crowd pleasing recipe.

Push a button and then walk away. And let me tell you, just because it’s easy doesn’t mean it ain’t delicious! In fact, with this crockpot pulled pork recipe, just the opposite. A small amount of effort will be rewarded with some AMAZING BBQ.

 You Don’t have to be SuperMOM to whip up this family favorite dinner.

Weeknights can be such a struggle to get dinner on the table. By the time everyone comes home from school, work, football or karate practice, it is late. Who wants to start making a mess?

Really! I have been there and it is a real struggle. Well this is a perfect recipe because you can actually put it together the night before. Yep, it can be marinated overnight and with minimal prep can be put in the oven.

I don’t have a large pan that I put in the oven, but I do have an enamel dutch oven and it works just fine.

The best part is that my pan is pretty enough to go right from the oven to the table! Add a tossed salad and your family will be so amazed.

There is something about being able to sit down together and recap the days events without having to deal with the after dinner mess that allows you to just sit and linger a bit longer.

This is what Jo of Jo Cooks has to say about one of her favorite recipes.

The rice is so unbelievably delicious and really cooked perfectly and flavored just right. The chicken is placed on top of the rice which also adds to flavoring the rice as it cooks, because all those juice from the chicken drip down into the rice, making it that much better.
