Winner Crock Pot meals!

Okay, so I'm staying out here in Louisiana with my husband for the summer. He works for a company called "Living Scriptures" that sells animated scripture movies. :) They are sooo cool. So Garrett goes out each summer and sells these DVD's to pay for school. :) Last year when he went out to sell we had only been dating for two months. He went to Tennessee and I stayed at home and we tried the long distance thing... It is SO much better this year being married to him and being able to be here with him! :) And one of the things that makes me the happiest is being able to cook for him! :) He works really long days and I love having a meal ready for him when he gets home.

While we are out here we are staying in Extended Stay hotels. ...right now all we have in our room as far as a kitchen goes is a microwave and a mini fridge... :) So I've had to get a little more creative about my cooking and I'd definitely have to say that my new hero is my crock pot. :) I have been trying out a bunch of different recipes and they are all so good I decided to share them on my blog! (My mom inspired the idea.) :) You should try them out because they are just as easy to make as they are delicious!!!

I hope you enjoy!
