I had a friend ask me about a recipe for Crockpot chicken soup. Did I have one? Had I tried it? Kim says she has a recipe she likes and really enjoys her crockpot. With cooler weather already rearing its ugly head, head, our slow cooker/crockpots can become a lifesaver. Our family has been eating a lot of salads and cold plates in the heat we have enjoyed this summer. But it seems to be time to bring the slow cooker back out to the front. To come home to a ready meal can be a lifesaver. I heard from a couple of families who love their crockpots.
Samantha tells me that the stroganoff recipe is in her 2 week rotation and if she misses it, her family reminds her that it is one of their favorites! Thank you for sharing. We also heard from Ben with his favorite buffalo chicken recipe. Ben tells me, with him and his wife both working, they split cooking duties. When it is his turn, he likes this one for crockpot buffalo chicken. He serves it with fries or a salad. Thank you! I can’t wait to try both of these.

I have changed my email address. I hope this doesn’t cause anyone any incovenience. I really enjoy this time with you each week and would love to hear from you. Do you have any requests?
