The Good News About Crock-Pots!
For the last few months my eating habits have taken a turn for the worse as the business of life has somehow became even more demanding on my time. Breakfast is hardly ever eaten and my lunch and dinner meals usually consist of fast or frozen food, or easy box meals. Usually the only veggies my body intakes are the lettuce and onions on a fast food hamburger. Don’t get me wrong, I try to improve my diet; I go out of my way in the grocery store to find healthy and fresh items to eat. However, usually that food just sits in my fridge and goes bad. I was about to lose all hope in my desire to live a healthier lifestyle when I stumbled onto an online article about meals prepared in crock pots. I was surprised by the things that I learned. Usually all recipes that require a crock pot are a one pot meal. Do you know what that means? I don’t have to come home from work, make a meal using multiple pans, and then have a mountain of dishes in the sink! It even gets better than that! Crock pots are designed to cook food at a slower rate, which makes it perfect for a busy schedule like mine. I can prepare everything ahead of time, even the night before, and then before I head out all I have to do is put it in the crock pot and let it cook all day. When I walk in the door dinner is ready! Can you image having dinner ready everyday as soon as you walk in the door! That alone makes me feel like I just won the lottery. If this hasn’t gotten you excited about crock pot meals I’m not finished yet. There are portable crock pots that are designed for you to pack lunch in. This means I can have a delicious, hot, homemade meal for lunch! For me I can take it to work, turn it on in the morning, and by the time lunch comes around its ready. The only real problem I see with this is the herd of coworkers that will be surrounding my crock pot. I know the smell of delicious food cooking will surly bring in a crowd. Now that you’re hooked on the idea of using a crock pot, like I am, let me share with you some exciting news! Klondike Brands has committed to sharing tips and tricks in crock pot cooking and has created some delicious recipes just for you! Let’s start now in having a healthier lifestyle and feeling good about what we eat. For more information about crock pot recipes, tips, and tricks go to www.facebook.com/klondikebrands.
