I don't use my crock pot as much as I should. It was one of the things I wanted to do to make supper time easier on me (Like wanting to do more freezer cooking). So recently I came across this blog (found it on another blog) about this mom who decided as her New Year's Resolution to use her Crock Pot EVERY SINGLE DAY of 2008. And she's doing it! But what makes her blog different than a typical crock pot recipe book is that she is making these meals for her family, telling us what they liked or didn't like, posting whether she changed the recipe in any way. AND her readers do the same. You get a ton of feedback on the recipes.
So anyways, so far this week I have used my Crock Pot 4 days (including today). Here are the recipes I've used:
Monday night was CrockPot Peppercorn Steak - This was great. My family HATES when I use a cheapy hunk of meat (round steak) to cook. They always whine about it being tough or chewy. Not this time! Everyone ate it right up. I told my daughter it was the cheap meat and she was like "Oh, why did you use that?". LOL
Tuesday I made Greek-style turkey burgers on the grill (mixed feta, olives and onion in ground turkey burger, then once cooked top with additional feta to melt and serve on crusty rolls).
Wednesday was CrockPot Fajitas - Another good meal. I forgot I didn't have any tortillas, so we used pita bread instead. Everyone seemed to enjoy these also. I had 2 grilled chicken breast in the fridge that I also tossed in. Next time I make these, I will add 2 packs of fajita seasoning. It just wasn't spicy enough for me, honestly you could barely taste any Mexican seasoning.
Tonights meal is Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry - I started off with this recipe for Chicken Teriyaki, but tossed in a bag of frozen stir fry mix. So I'll report back on how this taste. I did have a bit of bottled teriyaki sauce, but will check it later today to see if I need to mix up a little more. I really wanted teriyaki chicken with pineapple, but dh ate all the pineapple. LOL
Not sure what is on the menu for tomorrow evening. I had only planned up until Wednesday. I need to start menu planning again, it makes things so much easier.
