I love cooking in my slow cooker because it is so versatile. I can make everything from main dishes to desserts with minimal fuss, which is my kind of cooking! There’s nothing like coming home from a long day and knowing I do not have to worry about cooking dinner.  I’ve teamed up with some great cooks from around the internet to bring you a collection of recipes that will have your family asking, “What can you make in the crockpot today, Mom?”  Be sure to check out the 35 Crockpot Soups, Stews and Entrees to save even more time.  Now on to cooking!
