    The BIG List of Crockpot Recipes

    Need a delicious idea for dinner? Why not let your crockpot do all the work! Check out this BIG list of crockpot recipes to get some dinner inspiration.

    I absolutely love to use my crockpot. As a busy mom of two small children, it can be really challenging to cook. It’s like as soon as I turn on the stove, a sensor goes off and they both need something! I love being able to throw something in my crockpot in the morning while they’re still asleep or eating breakfast.

    There are even “fast” slow cooker recipes I can make during my children’s naptime if we have a crazy morning! The crockpot really is one of the best appliances although I feel it can be overlooked at times.

    Seriously, there’s nothing better than dinner made easier. After working all day, it is nice to come home to dinner already cooked!
