16 bean crockpot try

So this is just me goofing off one Sunday morning. I had a pack of 16 beans and I thought I would try making something in the crock pot. I really had no idea what I wanted to do. So add to crock pot.

 

 

Next, I threw in 2 cans of rotel tomatoes.

 

And then added some water. Turn to HIGH and let it go for 6 hours.

 

Afterwards, this is what I had. OMG it was so good!!

Not bad for just throwing it together. And pretty healthy too! Yay!

Cheers,

My first roast!

We got a crock pot. We were actually excited about it. For some reason I associate crock pots with old ladies and things you might get on your wedding list by that one crazy aunt.... Or I associate it with domestic-ness. I don't know, I find that I am an odd mix of old-fashion with modern. Sitting at home cooking all day is not for me. There is so much I want to accomplish in life. Ok ranting-but we had a realization that a crock pot may be something to fit our lifestyle better. And wow I must say they modernized their look- it is not that cheesy white with bad flowers on the outside. I like simple clean lines. So I was home one day for a snow day and thought it would be a great time to try a roast. Oh! And I will say this my boyfriend uses the crock pot more than me! How funny is that.

So he left me instructions. :)

So it was simple! Add meat.

season with Omaha Steaks seasoning. Rub down. This stuff is amazing! And I don't react to it with Gluten. Thank you Omaha Steak!

 I added my roast with some water and carrots

Cook! I cooked 1 hour on high then turned it to low for about 3-4 hours. Done! Wow and it tasted amazing.

So now I am not so anti-crock pot. I did not get and end pic but the roast was amazing! :)

Maybe more crock pot recipes will follow. :)

Review: Enchilada Stew

I found this mix on clearance for a stew mix. I checked out the ingredients all gluten free (corn!!!) Thought I would try it out.

It was easy, add water to the bag of dried veggies and the seasoning.

I made it in my crock pot. I let it cook for about 3-4 hours. The house smelled great!

here is the stew done, I paired it with lentil chips. Delicious! It had some kick to them!!

Nice buy for $1.50. Yummy!
