Hi BarbaraLee, that gal’s top in my blogroll. Here’s the link. http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/

Hello Lori, the green smoothie is so easy. Put about a cup of water in the blender, fill with baby spinach and blend. I leave the blender going while I add the rest, 1 banana, a few slices of frozen peaches, a coupla handfuls of frozen strawberries, 2 tablespoons coconut oil, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Blend til you can’t hear chunkiness anymore. Sometimes it needs a little more water, just use your judgment. And NO, it DOES NOT TASTE LIKE SPINACH.
The hollering is for my children. You see, the thing looks gross (it’s green) ergo, it tastes bad, only in the minds of children. Fact is, it tastes just like a fruit smoothie. Try it.

Did you hear on Rachel Ray there was a lady who was cooking for a yr. using the crockpot. 365 days of meals. I haven’t checked out her blog yet so it should be interesting.

We do things a lot like this around here, too. Breakfast is small, although every now and then I’ll make some eggs. Lunch is a fix your own affair, many times I keep frozen snacks for the kids to heat up. Dinner is the meal I actually cook and I like to cook my meats ahead of time and freeze them, too. It does make it so much easier when it’s time to cook dinner. I use my Crockpot some, but would really like to use it more – for homemade soups and such – I think I may have that cookbook on my shelf – I’ll have to go check.

It’s nice to hear someone else does it the same way – I sometimes feel guilty that I don’t cook every meal – not sure where I get that – maybe from all those old reruns I’ve grown up on!

Blessings,
Nancy

I totally agree with the ease and simplicity of crock pot cooking. I just “discovered” it after having a second boy 6 months ago. My favorite place to get delicious and sometimes simple recipes is from http://crockpot365.blogspot.com

By the way, I absolutely love to read your blog as i plan on homeschooling and i love your humor!
