Hi everyone. The beauty of having a crockpot is that one can cook a lot of stuff and have it all week. What I have found it helps me, because of the fact that my work schedule is so long and tedious a lot of times I don't get home until seven or 730, is I try to do my crockpot cooking on the weekends. One thing I have found that is helpful is that let's say in the case of spaghetti sauce or chili, I use meat substitute made out of the tofu white substance or soybeans. This way I can put them in the crockpot without having to worry about anything because they are dried so to speak, and they pick up the flavor of the meet. Another thing that I have found helpful, is that let's say I know that I'm going to be cooking the chicken recipe I can go ahead and put the get the chicken and put it in the bottom of the refrigerator the night before I am going to put everything together. Then add with when I risk my chicken as they always do, is just a quirk of mine, then it's it's thought but I do sympathize with the people that I have a schedule that is very hectic and often times it is hard to remember things. I am not one of the most organized people in the world. Another nice thing with the crockpots nowadays is it the middle comes out of the crockpot so you can put the ingredients in the crockpot the night before stick it in the fridge and then before you're ready to go out you can assemble and turn it on I believe most of the recipe state that if you do this however make sure that you would fit factor in a little extra time for the fact that you're starting with extremely cold ingredients hope this helps and I hope everybody has a wonderful day this is a great list and I have gotten a lot of good recipes and helpful tips from it everyone take care goodbye sorry.
