About

Hello, fellow slow cooker lover! Over the past 20 years, I have cooked thousands of meals, like you, but maybe with a slight difference. During those years, I was a foster mom of over 250 fosther children. My husband was in law enforcement, I also taught school, and had 3 sons of my own. You can imagine that we were always cooking for a crowd.

To satisfy dozens of picky eaters, I purchased more than one slow cooker! It was not unusual to find 3 or more on the counter, in various sizes. Kids old enough to reach over the counter were invited to create their own recipes and dishes often. This cut down on meal complaints, though I admit it did create its own set of challenges as kids would often only eat what they cooked. We handled that by letting them create a side dish to the main course.

I hope you will bring your children into the kitchen, letting them learn valuable skills as well as helping them create an appreciation for the main cook!

Drag that slow cooker out of hiding, and let’s begin!
