Laugh if you will, I worship my crockpot. What else can you throw some broth and whatever meat and veggie are in the kitchen and have a meal with no work. The crockpot in my house holds the coveted place in the small appliance cabinet, right up front and in the center, ready to be pulled out in a moments notice. I am convinced the blender and pasta roller are jealous of my mini miracle god. I did get a new crockpot for Christmas, stainless steel, oval rounded edges, three temperature setting, heaven on earth. It comes in first, in matter of cooking tools.

Usually on the weekends I pull out my slow cooker. With my husband home it is nice to spend the time together, eat a good meal and not be in the kitchen all day. I say anything that cuts my cooking/cleaning down is A+ in my book. The magic of the slow cooker is also this, I have more energy in the morning, by the time evening comes around the thought of preparing a meal is too much. I use that morning energy to make my tired evenings go a lot smoother. I look for anything that makes life a little easier. Lets face it what mom doesn‘t. If we could get one more hour with the family or heck dare I say anextra minute for myself, I take it. I feel good knowing dinner is done, no guilt!

So some boneless chicken breast, carrots, potato and a little chicken broth nine a.m. and dinner is done! I really don’t worship my crockpot, although I do love it above everything in my kitchen. When you find something as a mom that works you use it and then you have to share its praises to help another mom. So my ode to my crockpot is done-What do you use as a mom to make life easier?
