Slow Cooker Monday
Last week I did very little cooking. We grilled some. My grill master takes his grilling seriously. We went out to dinner some. And….I used the slow cooker some. When we want baked potatoes with our grilled meats, I don’t turn on the oven. That would heat up my whole kitchen. I don’t use the …
Chicken Taco Salad
