Mix It Well

Another of my favorite tools in the kitchen is my standing mixer. This one was given to me by a family friend and I really do not know what I did before this. The standing mixer has made baking and cooking so much faster and easier for me. I am able to throw my ingredients in and while everything is being mixed together I can work on something else. These are pretty pricey especially for the really good ones but they are definitely worth every penny. 

Set It & Go

One of my favorite and time saving gadgets in my kitchen is my Crock Pot/Slow Cooker. This one here is my first one ever and since then I have added two more to my collection. There have been times that I have actually had all three going at once. I really do not know how I managed cooking dinner before I had gotten one. With three kids all school aged and with very different schedules, there were just some days that I was just too busy to cook. I like a hot meal at night and so does my family and we really try to stay away from fast food. Having a Crock Pot/Slow Cooker has saved us money on fast food that has only left us hungry later. I would be able to throw everything in there and just go about my day and when it was time to eat, dinner would be done and ready to serve. Some people might think that they are only good for soups and food of that nature. But, if you keep following my page I can show you some things to make in a Crock Pot/Slow Cooker that you might have never thought would go in there.
