Today we're celebrating the beauty of the slow cooker.
My first house, which was a small-ish starter house, had a kinda small kitchen and not a ton of counter space.
But my slow cooker still had pride of place and sat out all the time.
My mom used to ask why I didn't put it away. I told her it was because I used it so often, it wasn't worth it to haul it in and out of a cabinet.
So yeah, I love me some crock pot cooking.
