Crock-pot Liner.. or should I say.. my hero!!!

I recently discovered the crock-pot liner! And can I just say that I don't know how I have gone so long without knowing about these! They save hours of soaking, and cleaning time! I have tried out several different recipes with these now. The only times that they seem to leak at all is if you use a metal utensil to stir and you scrape the bottom too hard. Other than that the only "liquid" you get on the crock-pot itself, is the moisture from the condensation once you are done cooking. I don't think I will ever use my crock-pot again without using one of these.

Another huge plus to these is that they are super cheap. I got a box of 5 at Walmart for under $1!!! I would highly suggest using these if you like to use your crock-pot a lot (ha.. that rhymed). Especially with how many recipes there are for slow cookers right now on Pinterest and what not.

I just wanted to show a quick picture of the mess these wonderful babies clean up!

Super Delicious Peanut Butter Cookies!

Ok now first off I have to say that this is not MY recipe. It is one I found on pinterest. It is by far my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe I have tried. The cookie dough doesn’t stay firm enough to press in the fork marks.. BUT they spread out and get huge and they are still nice and chewy without being gooey. I found the original recipe here http://www.momtastic.com/cooking-recipes/dessert/164457-classic-peanut-butter-cookies Now.. on this website it looks like she was able to get the fork marks.. so I am not sure what I am doing that is so different.. maybe it is that I just dump all the ingredients in a bowl at the same time and don’t do dry and wet separate at first.. but oh well… this is how I do it :) Ingredients: 2 cups flour 1/2 tsp baking soda or maybe a tini bit more… which might be why mine spread out more 1/4 tsp salt 1 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1 1/4 cup white sugar 1 cup softened butter (I do the “no no" and slightly soften in t...

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Well, its St. Patricks day... so I decided to try my hand at making corned beef and cabbage. I have never made it before but I was very very pleasently surprised with how it turned out. Corned beef is one of my husbands absolute favorite foods, and he says the way I cooked it was the best he has ever had. I also liked it, especially for my first time ever eating it. Here is how its done! Ingredients: Package of corned beef (you can get it at Walmart, Harmons, Smiths, most grocery stores) Salt Water 1 head of cabbage Instructions: (Now to make your own corned beef from scratch it literally takes 7-10 days to cure.. so that is why I (and most people) buy it packaged.) Take your corned beef and trim off a little bit of the fat on top. Me and my husband both have texture issues.. and it didn't seem to affect how moist the meat was. And honestly you can skip this step if it seems like too much of a pain, all the fat dissolved off anyways. Take a rack (I used a co...

Vincent eating a warhead

Ok... so I know I haven't posted on here in a while. I have been crazy crazy busy this month. I have dressed up in Halloween costumes on 6-7 different occasions along with 2 kids. And let me tell ya.. it takes all the energy out of you. This year my son FINALLY was a Hobbit and my girlie pie was a fairy princess! ANYWAYS... Tonight was Halloween and we did some trick or treating. At first when we went out my little (now 3 year old! He just had his birthday yesterday!) guy, he was so tired he started falling asleep while trick or treating. So I gave him an hour or so to get a second wind and took him out again. He got lots more candy and we came home once he was satisfied. He then preceded to take a nap (which I thought was bedtime) and he woke up at 11:30 at night. SO we are going to be up super super late. BUT it payed off because I got the best belly laugh I have EVER had. Out of all the candy he had in his bucket.. he decided to pick out the warhead. Now, if any of you hav...
