It’s Crocktober, that means it’s crockpot season!
I love pulling my crockpot out of storage this time of year; it’s one of my favorite cold-weather appliances. If you don’t have one, I recommend getting this crockpot. It comes in four different colors: chevron, purple, charcoal, and turquoise, so you can easily match your kitchen decor and then feel good about displaying it on a kitchen counter when not in use. This crockpot features a durable, stainless steel exterior with a removable dishwasher-safe stoneware crock insert and glass lid. It’s easy to cook meals using the high/low cook settings and even has a convenient warm setting to keep foods warm and ready to eat after cooking is complete.
Crockpots can save you a ton of time, especially if you’re like me and have a busy schedule. The ease of use can be a lifesaver since you can just dump the ingredients in, set the temperature to high or low depending on the recipe and voila, arrive home to a delicious and nutritious done for you meal.
I like to make things simple, so having a variety of one-pot meals can be the solution you’re looking for to getting dinner on the table quickly. I put together six crockpot recipes. I’m excited for you to try the oatmeal, frittata, minestrone, potato soup, veggie chili, and veggie pasta.
