Martha Stewart's Slow Cooker Cookbook


Martha Stewart's Slow Cooker  cookbook is a beautiful compilation of recipes the whole family will love. Using my slow cooker is a life saver in the winter months (and sometimes the summer) especially when we are busy with school activities or karate. Having a hot meal ready to go when we get home is my favorite, so reviewing this book was a treat!

The book has 8 sections:

  • Meat
  • Poultry
  • Seafood
  • Meatless
  • Side Dishes
  • Breakfast
  • Sweets
  • Stocks & Sauces
Each section offers a wide array of dishes to make, one of my favorites being the Chicken with 20 Cloves of Garlic. The flavor created in the dish was just fabulous and it was extremely easy to make - even better.

Of course the pictures in Martha Stewart's Slow Cooker are fabulous as well, showcasing the meal in a beautiful fashion, making them look even tastier than you thought they could. The recipes themselves go from simple, such as Brisket and Onions, to more unusual (for my family anyways) like Mexican Oxtail Stew. Some of the Seafood fairs include Poached Salmon with Salsa Verde and Chawanmushi, for Meatless Three Cheese Macaroni as well as Dal Tadka, and SO many more with 110 recipes in total. 

I love beginning of each chapter, which is called The Basics. It gives great tips on how to make the meals in the section the best they can be as well as tips on cooking in a slow cooker overall.

Very great buy, and if you are looking to expand your tastes, Martha Stewart's Slow Cooker is a great start.

Dance With Me, Momma

Image
Sometimes one day in our life is just what we need to keep on moving forward. A little inspiration, encouragement and hope entering into our sometimes dismal worlds. Today just happened to be one of those days for me. My family and I went on a short hike at a new park my husband found. We climbed up steep hills meant for mountain bikes and followed small trails intended for wild animals. We were able to explore the woods and enjoy God's beautiful world and enjoy the peace and serenity only that can bring. What touched me most deeply was when Benjamin stopped me about 3/4 of the way through our hike. He pulled my face close to his and whispered in his sweet voice, "Dance with me, momma." So right there in the middle of the woods with only Lawrence looking on, I danced with my 4 year old. He hummed a sweet tune and spun me on the forest floor like we were in a ball room and I was a princess and him a prince. Then he grabbed my face and kissed my lips and said, "

WINNER ANNOUNCED! Forskolin Coleus - An All Natural Weight Loss Supplement Review & Giveaway

Image
Hosted By  Beautifully Poor Sponsored By Nourishing Well Nutritionals I am a skeptic when it comes to weight loss supplements and have never gotten into the fads. Lately though, I cannot seem to lose weight very well. I won't take anything that isn't natural and I know it takes work to get into shape and lose weight. As we all know to well, body fat is extremely stubborn! I exercise regularly and eat healthy, so this supplement was just the thing to kick start my fat loss journey. I started taking this on April 8th of this year. At the same time, I started doing 30 minutes of strength training in the morning BEFORE I ate breakfast. Also, having a glass of something caffeinated like black or green tea or a cup of black coffee FREE of sugar and creamer, can help kick start your body and give you energy. After the half hour of exercise, I wait about 20 minutes and then take 2 Forskolin Coleus pills. Within 20-30 minutes of taking those, I eat a well balanced mea
