While this won't be my last Crockpot post, this will end my "Crockpot Wednesday" here on the blog. Again, another "um, not quite" recipe .. this time the red beans (for red beans and rice) did not cook by the time dinner came around so we ended up with a combination of leftovers and things we had in the freezer (thank goodness I have a little bit of stock there). So, I'm sorry there's no recipe to post or even a photo tonight.
As for the rest of us around here, I had 2 sick kids home today. Adrienne still wasn't well enough to go to school (though she's going tomorrow) and Travis woke me up at 5:45 to tell me his throat hurt and didn't feel good so I let him stay home. I was going to take him in to the doctor but they had no appointments ... then we were going to take him to Quick Care but late this afternoon he was doing much better.
Let's hope we're all healthy tomorrow.
Crockpots drive me batty.
I like them for taco soup and lima beans and that's about it. Everything I make in them turns to mush.
Don't feel bad about a crockpot disaster! I love your blog and read it everyday.

Thanks so much Karyn! I appreciate the comment .. and knowing I'm not the only one who has disasters in the crockpot!

Thanks! You just made me decide what to have for dinner tomorrow--beans and cornbread. With this cold weather it seems just the ticket.
Actually, I love my crockpot for roasts and ham and soups. I don't do a lot with pasta or anything like that, though.
