Deep in the back of almost every kitchen cupboard of America is one of the most practical and unused items, the crock-pot. This cooking wonder can magically transform your world into a tasty kitchen where new and exciting meals await your arrival each evening. Often people ruin their health with fast food just because they are too tired to cook dinner after a long day at work. Not only is this bad for your diet, it is bad for your food budget. My goal, in our home, is to not waste money on unhealthy foods.
Today when Brian and I arrived home from school an awesome aroma wafted out of the open windows. My dogs greeted us with the usual, "Please let us out!" After they relieved themselves they proceed to beg, chasing us around the house for a while before parking at the entrance to the kitchen, hoping for a bit of the thing they had been smelling all day. They sadly watched me portion out the evening meal. Lucky for them, a few pieces were diverted in their direction. My family was as anxious as my dogs. In the morning I had placed a package of chicken legs on the bottom of my crock-pot, after that I added water, a package of dried onion soup, 2 bay leaves, thyme, chicken bullion, marjoram, carrots, celery, squash, three potatoes, salt and pepper together. I turned the pot on med and left for school. After eight hours of cooking, it was ready. Today it was dinner for five, as Ted came over and also Candace with her friend Dan. As for the chicken legs, there were no survivors.
