Discovering the Crockpot

Last year Tim's mom gave us a really nice crockpot. It dwarfs the size of my "crockpot for 1" from back in the single days, but I haven't used it much because I don't have any crockpot recipes. Until now! One of my favorite magazines (Real Simple), just published a bunch of slow cooker recipes and I am determined to try them all. Starting it off with some chicken curry tonight, and creamy chicken with biscuits for a nice Sunday supper. If the prep work continues to be as easy and hassle free as the curry was to put together this morning, then I might have to invest in Cooks Illustrated's Slow Cooker Revolution. Well, I guess since I have dinner all ready and Ben is napping, I might as well sit down and have some bon bons.

Alphabet soup anyone?

Now that Ben is sitting on his own (and he just started crawling too!) he has graduated to the "big boy" bath. I think it his most favorite 15 minutes of the day. Splashing around and being on his tummy.

We are 7 weeks away from the big move to Montana, and our excitement is building. We are ready for some adventures in the west, with a babe on our backs.
