Jim and I are in love. With each other? Sure. With the babies? Of course! But we're talking about our adoration for our crock pot. We love it! It literally makes meals possible. Tonight's meal was once again brought to us by our trusty Kitchen Aid crock pot. After just a few minutes of prep, the meal was left to cook while we cared for and entertained the twins. Once the babies went to sleep, we were able to enjoy the meal that our crock pot had cooked! It didn't hurt that the meal was excellent, too! We have another love, Pinterest, to thank for the recipe!
