Simple cooking

     I am by no means a poor cook.  Lately, however, I have become a lazy cook.  I am making more quick fresh meals and more crock pot meals.

     Last night I made pan-seared, pounded turkey cutlets seasoned with garlic and basil. I served that with a home-made cheesy pasta side and sugar pea pods.  Tonight I will have roast beef, carrots, potatoes, and gravy.  All from my crock pot.

     As The Curmudgeon says, he’ll never starve.  He also tells people, that 99% of what I cook is delicious.  There is that 1% of experimental dishes that fail but I think it’s a good record.

     You all have a good one!

Slow cookery–tasty!

 

     I love food cooked in my crock pot and wonder why I don’t do use it more often.  We had a lovely, tender and flavorful beef roast with all the trimmings last night. The Curmudgeon was one very happy camper.

     Last time I used the crock pot I made some pretty lousy apple crisp oatmeal.  I won’t be making that again.  It was the first thing I ever made in a crock pot that actually turned out bad.

     What I love about my Kindle is that I have downloaded a bunch of free cook books and that included several crock pot cook books.  Once the cool weather settles in here, I do believe the crock pot will get a good workout.

     Do you have any favorite crock pot recipes?
