Mom's new toy...a crock pot!

I can't tell you how excited I am about my newest purchase.  It's a crockpot!  Never in a million years would I have ever thought a crockpot would have brought me such joy.  But these are the days of motherhood.  Therefore a crockpot makes me happy. 

We received a crockpot for a wedding gift but it is a small one and I use it for potpourri warming.  We have fallen into a routine of meals and I need to spice that up a little bit.  I am tired of Meatloaf, Chicken, Spaghetti, taco salad, pork chops, and grilling.  There is nothing wrong with any of those meals and they are Pruitt favorites and things I know my kids love.  But I need some variety...I needed a crockpot. 

So I have a few dinners planned out.  We are going to try mac and cheese in the crock pot...google that recipe it looks awesome.  Crockpot chicken taco's that I read on on hollyfurtick.com.  Apparently there are a lot more options then I had ever thought about. 

It is typical of my personality to eat crockpot meals for the next week and then never eating a crock pot meal again...I go full force, burn out, and quit.  So if you have any crockpot recipes your family enjoys send them my way!  I don't my pretty new crockpot in the back of a cabinet.
