Time to Find the Crockpot

Why don't I don't tend to use the crockpot in the summer?  I don't know, but when the weather gets crisper I find myself thinking about the stews and heartier meals that come from the crockpot.  A bonus: almost all things you make in a crockpot freeze well.  So even though my husband and I are empty-nesters, it's great that we can make several meals all at once.  Have a happy, relaxed weekend!  Laura
