As I mentioned the other day, CSN Stores is sending me a slow-cooker to test out. I am so excited, because a slow-cooker is one of the items in my “dream kitchen.” I have a whole list of slow-cooker recipes I’ve been coveting – buffalo chicken dip, stewed chicken, slow-cooker oatmeal….. However, I have so many ideas to choose from I’m having a hard time narrowing it down.
That’s where the favor comes in. I know my readers have good taste (you like me don’t you?!), so I was hoping you guys could give me some recommendations. What is your favorite crock pot recipe? Leave the recipe or a link in the comments section, pretty please.
Also, I wanted to clarify a few things. Yes, I get to keep the crock-pot.
CSN Stores is a web-site with a myriad of different stores. Their wide selection includes things like pet and baby goods, but that’s obviously not my focus. I’m more interested in things like the crockpot that is soon to be mine; the dream item in my current no-so-dreamy-apartment kitchen.
Or bar furniture. Like this Tribeca Cheers Bar that would be in my ultimate dream kitchen.
I realize most houses have the bar separate from the kitchen, but when I picture my future entertaining style it always involves dinner parties (in the kitchen) and lots of booze (from the bar)!
Eating Chalk 
my FAV is cooking meats in the crock pot. We usually do this recipe with a pork shoulder, but you don’t eat pork, right? (at least I think so?)
But I also make it with chicken, and its FAB.
There is no real recipe, rather suggestions:
Pulled Chicken
-Throw some chicken into the crock pot, breasts are good but the fat in thighs makes it taste really good. Fill the rest of the pot with water until it is about an inch below the top. Turn on high and let it go! Seriously, like 8-10 hours, sometimes we even leave it overnight. when the chicken can be pulled apart with a fork, drain out the water.
-use 2 forks to decimate the rest of the chicken!
-Make a sauce, right in the crockpot along with the chicken. We never really use the same thing, but it’s hard to screw up: lots of bbq sauce, vinegar, lime juice, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, mustard.
-eat on rolls, in salads, in wraps…delish!
I have bunches more recipes so if you don’t get enough let me know!
I do not eat pork, that chicken sounds hella good though.
i love stews… meat or tofu stews with lots of veggies and roots. yum! ❤
Here is a link to the BEST Nutty Sweet Potato Stew…I made it in a crock pot, even though she didn’t: http://www.carolinedines.com/?s=sweet+potato+stew
Also, chicken with a jar of salsa dumped on top and cooked all day is pretty perfect. 🙂
*I* think that sounds amazing, but the huband would probably cry if I tried to serve him that! It’s going in the ever-growing “later” pile 😀
I totally agree about the bar in the kitchen! My grandparents used to have the most kicking parties and their bar was in the kitchen area and it was awesome.
I can’t wait to hear about the amazing things you make with that crock pot!
