So I happened to come across  my blog that I started almost a year ago! Wow! Time flies and I didn't keep up with it at all. I will try to this time around.

I bought myself a crockpot not to long ago. I figured it would get me inspired to try new recipes and cook more on a regular basis. My first dish that I made was a beef stew. I am proud of myself because I have a slight fear of raw meat. It creeps me out. I don't eat much meat to begin with. But every so often I like to eat it. Beef stew sounded good and an easy recipe. I was told stews are usually a perfect start to crockpot use. I combined a bunch of veggies, meat and lots of spices. I added broth to it so it wouldn't dry out. I did this the night before and all I had to do before work was turn my crockpot on low.  I came home to a nice hot meal. It was delicious and it was awesome not to have to cook anything after a long day. I am so glad I invested in one. I now want to use it daily. I want to try making soups and desserts.
