«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 451 Newer› Newest»Sorry, no recipe from me. I still live with my parents and my mom does the cooking, so I don't know much about it. Great candy, so I hope I still get a chance to win! Greetings from Belgium, Annelies
Here's a recipe for a very quick and easy dinner:
Broccoli and Cheddar Frittata
1 tbsp butter
2 c. chopped broccoli florets and stems
1 onion, chopped
1 sweet red pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp each salt and pepper
8 eggs
¼ c. milk
½ c. shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tbsp. minced fresh parsley
In 9 or 10 inch non stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat; cook broccoli, onion, red pepper, garlic, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
In bowl, whisk eggs with milk pour over broccoli mixture. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until bottom and side are firm but top is still slightly runny, about 7 minutes.
Sprinkle with cheese; cover and cook until centre is set and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.

Awesome give away! Thanks for the chance to win it.
Love your blog. Congrats on another milestone! We just got a new crockpot after I broke the old one by trying to use it on the stove (recipe said to...didn't work!) Can't wait to see what people give you!
WOW! What a great day !! I am kind of a quick cooking mommy so you know my fav is to throw a jar of Prego & frozen meatballs; let them simmer & then I just need to boil Spaghetti later. One huge bit of info is buy those crock pot bags!! Amazing & makes clean up sooooo easy! Thanks for this opportunity; I am just starting my Copic collection!
Oh my gosh--the best comfort food from the crockpot is Shredded Chicken Sandwiches: It can be prepared ahead and reheated, it keeps for several days, and it can be frozen.
Crockpot Chicken Sandwiches
1 can (50 oz) boned chicken, undrained (you can use 3 lbs. of chicken that you cook and shred yourself)
1 10 3/4 oz. can cream of chicken soup (low-fat, low sodium work fine)
1 sleeve (inner package) buttery oval crackers, such as Town House, crushed (low-fat work fine Ritz work too.)
Mix all ingredients together in slow cooker. Cook on low 4 hours. Serve on buns.
This is GREAT! Like sloppy joes, except chicken and YUMMIER!!!
Sorry I have'd used my crockpot in a long time. Maybe I need to give it a try again. But I love Copics.
I'm not the best w/recipes.. sniff,snifff... butttt my fav. snack is Snickers bar crushed in Plain potatoe chips! I Know sooo healthy but I treat myself to it once a mth because I know how bad that is! LOL :)
-Ellie
Awesome blog candy! I don't have any crock pot recipes, but some of the ones in the comments sound awesome!

Was in Portland during Christmas, you got a lot of snow! Would love to win the markers and stamp set! Eloise
yum yum
I love Brisket in the crockpot. Put some Guinness (or other dark beer) over the brisket and add in some dry mustard and some fennel seeds. Cook on low for about 6 - 8 hours. When you remove the meat add some flour to thicken the drippings into a sauce for your noodles, rice or whatever you want to serve on the side.
Also, surprisingly good is the recipe on the McCormick packet of crockpot pulled pork seasoning.
LOVE the cute stamp set and I've been dying to try out the Copics!
Place boneless chicken breasts on bottom of crock pot. Pour in 2 boxes of long grain and wild rice. Add 1 can cream of mushroom soup and 1 can cream of chicken soup. Add onions or carrots if you like. Cook 6-8 hours on low!
I would love to win some coptics and the adorable stamp set1
These sound so good. I am going to copy some. I mostly put a beef roast, carrots, potatoes, onion and mushrooms, steak seasoning dry mix and water in mine. I need to get more creative! Would love to win and learn to use the copics. Thanks!
No recipes here but would love to win the copics. susan
Copics - what a wonderful way to start the New Year as a winner of this wonderful prize!!! Thanks for sharing!
Pot Roast...all time crock pot favorite at our house!
Ingredients:
3 lb roast
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 beef bouillion cubes
2 bay leaves
1 onion, cut into rings
2 cloves garlic
mushrooms (you can use fresh or canned, as many as you want, or omit--it is great either way)
water to cover
Brown your roast all over in hot skillet with a little bit of oil. Place roast in crockpot. Cover with garlic, bay leaves, onions, and soup. Put bouillion cubes and mushrooms all around. Add water to just cover the roast. Set crock pot on low and cook for 8 hours.
Sometimes after cooking I will take the juice in the cooker, strain out the solids and make a gravy. You can serve the onions and mushrooms...just make sure to toss the bay leaves!
Hope you get to enjoy this one, and hope I get to enjoy the blog candy! Thanks for a chance at it.
Here is a favorite crockpot recipe of ours -- we've been making it since we got our 1st crockpot 32 years ago.
It's called "Chicken Lickin' Good Pork Chops":
Dredge pork chops in mixture of 1/2cup flour, 1 T salt, 1 1/2 t dry mustard and 1/2 t garlic powder. Brown in 2 T oil in large skillet. Place browned pork chops in crock pot. Add 1 can chicken & rice soup. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours (3 1/2 hours, high).
Thanks for the opportunity to win your blog candy!
Oh, my! I don't have any great crock recipes :-(; as a single 'ol lady, it would make too many servings.....but I still want to win your blog candy! I've never won any yet, plus I have no Copic markers! Thanks for offering them with a darling stamp set, too!
I have a crock pot I have never used! Cooking is not one of my favorite things. However, all of your recipes make me want to try. My hubby would like that. It would be great if I get the blog candy and he gets dinner:)

I make beef or chicken "stoup". Tons of chunky veggies, but a bit more brothy than stew. I generally put carrots, potatoes, celery, onion and garlic in with the meat. A couple cans of broth and seasoning. Yummy! Sometimes, instead of potatoes, I put barley in if it is beef. At the end, mix some flour in with the juices to thicken it a bit. Mix up some bisquick biscuits with a little parm and Italian seasonings.
I would sooo love to try copics. I really want to buy some, but can't seem to make the investment without being able to try them first :0)
Here's a favorite of mine, it has CHOCOLATE!
Hot Fudge Cake Ingredients:
1 c packed brown sugar

2 t baking powder
1/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 t salt
1 3/4 c boiling water
1/2 c milk
vanilla ice cream
Mix together 1 c brown sugar,
flour, 3 T cocoa, baking powder and salt. Then stir in milk, butter and vanilla. Spread over the bottom of the slow cooker crock after it has been sprayed with no stick spray.
Mix together 3/4 c brown sugar and
1/4 c cocoa. Sprinkle over mixture in cooker. Pour in boiling water but DO NOT STIR. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 hours or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean from the center. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
What's better than dinner cooking in the crock pot while you stamp? Uh, Copics and cute new stamps! Love your blog, Cami. Here's a recipe for you -
Italian Sausages, green peppers & onions - slice and put in cp and cover with your favorite spaghetti sauce. Cook on low all day and serve on hoagie rolls. YUM!

Thanks

Did you know that you can cook hot dogs in the crock pot. It roasts them - so yummy! Just put them in the crock pot, don't add any thing else, and slow cook for a couple of hours. This is great for serving a crowd - think hungry teenagers!
Here is a recipe for mars bars cake. Melt 1/2 cup marj. with 4 cut up mars bars. Stir until smooth. Put in a greased 8 x 8 pan. Then melt 1 cup choc. chips with 1/4 cup marj. and spread on top. Chill. This is a family favorite. Enjoy
Hi Cambria,
I don't know what crockpot is... haven't heard of the term being used in Indian cooking, so I don't have a recipe to share.
But I still need to thank you for this chance to win blog candy. I have never seen a Copic marker except online and it is too expensive for me to have them shipped to India so I probably never will see them. ;-)
Thanks anyway,
Love,
Smita.
Well, if nothing else just by saying the words "Blog Candy" you have gotten yourself a cookbook full of crockpot and other recipes! I will be flagging this just so I can come back to find a recipes for future use. :o)
When it comes to crockpot cooking it's pretty hard to get it wrong. Last week I wanted soup... chopped up onions and celery and carrots. Through them in the crockpot with a couple frozen chicken breasts and 4 cups of chicken stock and seasonings (salt, pepper, etc). I started late so instead of turning it on low and letting it cook for 6-8 hrs I turned it on high and it was done in 3-4. YAY! Added pasta about half hour before serving. Once it's in the bowls I usally hit it with a little green tabasco for a kick of flavor. Mmmm!
Thanks for the possibilities of winning Copics and for the collection of recipes :o)
Oooh, Copics! I've been wanting to try those, but they don't sell any around my area! Thanks for the chance to win!! Here's an easy crockpot recipe for you, it's always a big hit when I make it:

I would love to have some Copic markers....my sister has some and loves them! I don't use my crockpot like I should...would make life much easier!!! I like party meatballs, very delicious. Also like to fix chicken dishes and roast.
Love this blog candy. I have met Marianne and she is a very nice and helpful person. I like to put a whole chicken in a crock pot and let it cook for awhile and then put in the vegetables and finish cooking and then the whole dinner is done at once.
First, I hope that you had a Happy Birthday
Blog Candy is so much fun!!!!

Awesome blog candy, you rock!!!
Love your blog! Thank you
I love to fix turkey roasts in my crockpot. Either buy the preseasoned roast or use dry onion and mushroom soups over the top. Of course, use some water on the bottom to prevent it from drying or sticking. That elephant stamp is so cute!!!
Cindy C
Wow, what nice blog candy!!! Thanks so much!
I love my crock pot for ribs!
You just cut the ribs into portion sizes then layer them with thinly sliced onions into your crock pot and cover it all with your favorite BBQ sauce, cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or more.
Ha this was supposed to fee 4-6 people but they were so good that my dh and I finished them all off in one sitting.

Thanks for the chance to win!

I like to eat - only drawback is you need to cook first UGH! Easiest thing for me is to put a whole chicken upside down (juices stay in the breast) in the crockpot, after seasoning; then it just falls off the bone & we dig in.

Here is a recipe that uses the crockpot and the oven.
Chicken Enchiladas
4 skinless chicken breasts
2 cans enchilada sauce
1 16oz. container fresh salsa either hot or mild
shredded cheese (I use colby/montery jack)
flour tortillas
Place chicken, 2 cans sauce and fresh salsa in crockpot and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Take chicken out and shred. Place around a 1/3 to 1/2 cup shredded chicken on flour tortilla and then spoon sauce over chicken and then sprinkle shredded cheese over that and roll up. In a 9x13 baking dish spoon enough sauce to cover the bottom and then put rolled up enchiladas in the dish. Cover with remaining sauce and sprinkle more shredded cheese over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and serve with sour cream.
My family likes these enchiladas more than the ones from the mexican restaurant! Thanks for the chance to win and I hope that you will give this dish a try!
I love roast in the crock pot but I think I make it differently every time. Onion soup mix and beer are my favs though.
It's very nice of you to do as Marianne said and give the Copics away. I would've been seriously tempted to keep them! ;)
Here's a delicious pork roast that I just made last week. It's really SIMPLE and right from allrecipes.com
1 or 2 pork loins seasoned generously with salt, pepper and a little garlic
1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
1 onion chopped
1/3 Cup Catalina bottled dressing
Dump it all in crockpot and cook on low for about 6 hours or til meat is fork tender.Makes a great roast and yummy sauce that goes well over noodles or rice.
MORE COPICS! I really want to learn to use them as I love what you do with them!
Hi Cambria, I love your blog and your cards and boxes are awesome, too. I have purchased some of your classes, too! Can't wait to see more!
How about some Polynesian Pork Chops,
4 to 6 lean pork chops
1 8oz can of crushed pineapple
1 cup of barbecue sauce
Place pork chops in grased slow cooker and add (combined) pineapple and barbecue sauce. Cover and cook high 3-4 hours or low 6-8 hours.
I was just reading all these recipes and I started to cry! My beautiful mother passed away almost 9 years ago and she was a crock pot user. She was always trying and experiementing with different recipes. Some were good and some were not! Now I am going to have to try some of these that have been shared.
Sorry I don't have one to share right now....have tears in my eyes just thinking about my mom.
Thanks everyone for the new recipes.
WOW!! Lots of great recipes... I'm going to have to try some! :) I don't have a recipe to share for the crock pot because I pretty much just toss what ever I want in the pot and add soup... and "BAM" you have supper! :) (I just wind it with my crock... even ribs) Anyway, great blog candy girl... I LOVE IT!!! Smiles :)
I would love to win this Lil Peanut to go with my get well one as well as the copics! I am slowly adding them to my supplies. This would be fun to win to get a bigger jumpstart on my collection. Ü

Here is one of my all time favorite recipes. It was my Mom's. I make it on the stove, and simmer/serve from the crockpot. It's great when you have friends over to stamp, everyone just serves themselves when they are ready. Trust me, you will not be disappointed!

1/3 C celery
1/3 C green pepper
1 Tbsp dry mustard
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp Vinegar
Brown Sugar to taste (3-4 Tbsp)

¾ C catsup
1 sm can tomato sauce
Brown meat, then add other ingredients and heat well.
Serve on Hamburger Buns.
Enjoy!
I throw just about anything into the crock pot - a favorite is pork chops covered with pork gravy and cream of mushroom soup. Add more mushrooms, onions etc as you like. They come out sooo moist!
Thanks for the chance to win! I <8 Copics and the stamps set - well, just to die for!
I just got this recipe from a friend. I plan on making it at my next Stamp-A-Stack....soooo yummy!
1 block cream cheese (softened and spread in bottom or pie pan)
1/2 stick butter
3/4 to 1 c packed brown sugar.
Cook these two ingredients until thick and sugar is dissolved Then add 2/3 c. evaporated milk. Bring to a boil stirring often until thickened. Remove from heat and add 1 tsp vanilla. Pour over cream cheese and top with chopped nuts. Serve with sliced apples.
Thanks for the chance to win copics. Been wanting some.

I so want some copics! I'm not a crockpot user just don't have that much patience and surly never plan ahead long enough to get it going.
I really want to take the plunge into copic markers this year. I looked up what ink pad you use for your black stamping... the brilliance graphic black and want to get myself one of those next time at Michaels and then start slowly picking copic markers. It just seems so overwhelming with so many colour choices and using them properly.
Thanks for the chance!
4 boneless chicken breasts
1 can of diet cola
1 cup of ketchup
Place chicken breasts in pan. Pour ketchup and cola over the chicken breats. Simmer for 45 minutes covered. After 45 minutes, turn the heat up to high and cook until sauce thickens like bbq sauce.
Tastes excellent over rice
I just started receiving your blog-WONDERFUL!! I too am a crockpot junkie-here is a very quick and easy one:
1 rack of ribs
1 bottle of BBQ sauce poured on top and cook at 6 hours
YUMMY
~Gretchen
I'm on a low-carb diet and haven't used my crock in ages! Sorry I don't have a recipe to share off the top of my head, but I would love to find out what all the rage is over these Copic markers! :)
I tried this stuffing recipe during the holidays: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Slow-Cooker-Stuffing-2/Detail.aspx
Was delicious, family loved it.
Thanks for the chance to win copics, they are on my wish list.
Oh my! by the looks of all the comments here, I'm not the only one drooling over these COPICS! Would you believe me if I told you I don't have ANY yet?! Seriously! That is just wrong!
I love crockpot cooking too. Here is one you may like to try:
Slowcooker RANCH POTATOES
2-1/2 lbs small red potatoes, quartered
1 (8.00 ounces) container sour cream
1 (0.04 ounce) package buttermilk ranch salad dressing mix
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
Place the cut up potatoes in the crockpot. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients and then spoon over the potatoes. Stir to blend well. Cover; cook on low setting for 7 hours. Stir gently before serving.
I just got my crock pot about 2 months ago, and the only recipe I have used is from Foodnetwork Robin Miller's chicken recipe with chitpotle, tomatoe sauce, lime juice, celery, carrots and onions. My family loves it, and it's one pot cooking which I love.
Wow, what great candy, love to win, so I could at least try out the copics. I don't have any crocpot recipes, cause I don't have one.
Here's one to try for chili. Kidney beans (light red), diced tomoatoes, ground beef, chili powder and a little water. Delicious!
Cami, I would love to win the Lil Peanut Crafty Clear stamp set along with some Copic Ciao markers. You have made some great cards. If you pick me to win I'll send you a recipe for crockpot ribs, yum!
Judy
I don't use my crock pot as much as I should or would like to, so I'm enjoying the recipes here. I usually just make a pot roast with carrots, onions, potatoes and beef broth. I always make sure I brown the meat before I put it in for better flavor! Thanks for this giveaway!
Still no Copics or Spicas at my house so I'd love to be the lucky winner! Such a cute elephant in that set, too. Thanks so much for offering both.
HI Cambria,
I can't help you with a crockpot recipe - sorry but my husband hates stewish dinners, so they just don't happen. I have plenty of chocolate recipes though :) Thanks for the lovely work on your blog - you have me obsessed with the glaze pens which are unfortunately very difficult to obtain over here in Oz.
Kim
Holy smokes!! That's some amazing loot you're giving away!! I'm not a crockpot girl, although I kinda wish I was. My DMIL makes some yummy BBQ ribs in her crockpot, and we have a friend that makes some de-LICIOUS BBQ pulled pork shoulder. Don't have the recipes, but they are yummy!! Congrats on our new stamp line. Everything I've seen so far is just fabulous!!
This is my favorite Crockpot recipe at the moment:

Wow, sucha great Blog Candy, there are a ton of comments! I love to make hommade chicken and rice soup!
I found your blog some time ago and I will have to admit...I have stalked it since then. I think your stamping is amazing!!! You are wonderfully talented. As for my favorite crockpot recipe:
Easy Taco Soup
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can corn (do not drain)
1 can kidney beans (do not drain)
1 qt. Tomato juice
1 pkg. Taco Seasoning
1 1b. Hamburger
Cook hamburger, drain and place in crock pot. Add all other ingredients. Cook on low heat for 4 to 6 hours.
Serve in individual bowls topped with tortilla chips, sour cream olives, and grated cheese.
Recently I tried to cook hame in my crockpot and it was really yummy.I buy the spiral cut ham from Costco and cut the meat off the bone. In the crockpot, I put in 2-3 cups of apple cider and whole cloves. Mix together the glaze that came with the ham, brush it on then place in the crockpot. Cook on low for about 4-5 hours. The ham stays nice and juicy.
Wow - what kind blog candy! That stamp set sure is adorable. Thanks for your generosity.
I love to make spaghetti sauce in the crockpot. Brown some ground turkey and add to pot. Add some sauted onions and pinch of salt and pepper and oregano. Add tomato paste and large can of tomato sauce. Cook for an hour on high or several hours on warm.
Enjoy!
Wow! Thanks for this awesome opportunity! I have one crockpot recipe that I would love to give you and it's easy! I don't know what it's called but it's a family recipe. Anyway, all you need to do is cut up some round steak and throw it in the crockpot with two cans of cream of mushroom soup. You then cook it until the meat looks done. You can serve it as is or you can do what we like and serve it over bread! Yum!
hey thanks for the chance to win some Copic markers, I would love to try them...I love puttin any kind of meat in the crock pot with something to cook in, lately I have tried pork tenderloin with a jar of chili sauce on it...yummy, or pork chops with a bottle of Italian dressing on it for 8 hours delish
wendy
One easy "recipe" is to put in a rack of ribs, pour in a bottle of your favorite barbeque sauce, then let it cook on low all afternoon/day. My kids love it, the meats just falls off the ribs, very tender! I've never used copics but really want to try them! Thanks for the chance!
Wow! 310 comments! Somebody wants some blog candy, wouldn't you say? LOL! On to the yummy stuff...I have an easy good recipe for Mac and Cheese in the crock pot. Just let me know if you want it Cammie. I haven't read the 310 comments so I don't know if someone else gave you the recipe! :o)

How cool is that Marianne, eh?! If you like cabbage rolls I have one heckuva fine recipe for Cabbage Roll Casserole - tastes just like the rolls but is SO SIMPLE! Enjoy:
http://sueblondin.blogspot.com/2009/01/cabbage-roll-casserole.html
I'll have to scope out some of these fine recipes submitted - TFS, all!
Love the 'lil peanut set! So cute! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love to cook chicken with cream of chicken and a little bouillon - it makes the BEST creamy chicken that you can put on top of rice or noodles!
Wonderful set - I LOVE your style!
Wow nice Blog candy! The thing I make most in the crock pot is "leftovers stew". In a n effort to not waist food and save some money we save all leftover meat, veggies and potatoes. We cut it up and freeze it then when we have enough we through it in the crock pot for stew. We love that every bite is different (eg chicken or sausage or ground beef).
God Bless
Catherine M
What yummy candy you have up. Love, Love that set.
I like Jerk chicken . Pampered Chef sell the Jerk rub and all you have to do is add it to your meat of choice and bake or grill. It is sooo good.
Sita
One of my favorites is "Cranberry Meatballs." They're really appetizers, but are also really good on udon noodles.
Makes 4 to 4.5 dozen
Meatballs:
2 pounds ground chuck
2 large eggs
1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon thyme
Sauce:
1 (16-ounce) can cranberry sauce
1 (12-ounce) jar chili sauce
1/4 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1 Meatballs: Mix all ingredients lightly. Shape into 1-inch balls (use a scoop for uniformity) and either bake on jellyroll pan sprayed with Pam, or fry in skillet (about 5 minutes), until browned.
2 Sauce: Stir together cranberry and chili sauces and next 5 ingredients in a crockpot and cook, whisking occasionally, until smooth.
3 Add meatballs and cook until centers are no longer pink. I stir occasionally.
4 ENJOY!
Oh - how exciting! One can never have enough COPICS. I just tried this tonight and my nephew and his daughter joined us. I had 12 mini meatloaves for 3 adults and 1 child and I think they wanted more! I used the Barbecue Sauce version but will be trying the other three also!

Yummy!
Enjoy while I keep my fingers crossed!
Whoo! Whoo! I just love copics.. They are the bomb. What a difference they make than regular markers.
As far as the crock pot... I could go on and on and on! Cork! Anyways. A great quicky appetizer. Line the crock pot with the liner bags they work great. Velveeta, Cream of what ever soup, and meatball. and mix and cook up. A little milk to make it creamy. OMG!
My DH loves this one:
bag of saurkraut
piece of pork loin
cut up onion
S & P, and garlic powder
cover with a beer
cook on low for 6 hours
It's really tasty!
My recipe is easy, its called Russian Chicken. Bake in oven at 350Deg.30/40min covered, 10-15min uncovered.
1 Bottle Kraft Russian Dressing

You could use other chicken parts but I prefer the thighs.
Mix first 3 ingred. and pour over skinless chicken pieces, cover and bake.

You are so creative-love to get ideas form your blog-you inspire me! I don't have any copics and apparently they are not available in stores around here-I would love to win some!
Have you ever made pimento cheese?
So simple-just one 2-cup bag of shredded mild cheddar cheese, one medium jar of chopped pimentoes, drained, a sprinkle of paprika and black pepper, all mixed with mayo. Sooo much better than the store bought variety on sandwiches!
Oh, next time I too want to go to lunch with all of you... I live in the valley as well...:0)

Hi Cambria:
Love your blog, so creative and a pleasure to view. I was going to post a receipt; however, my favorite has already been posted...Russian Chicken, a must try.
Cheers
Here is my favorite Taco Soup--super quick meal when you forgot to put something in the crockpot!
Brown 1 pound lean ground beef with onion.
Add 1 can tomatoes--diced (28 ounces), throw it in the blender if your kids have chunky tomato issues,
2 cups water,
1/2 of a can of El Pato (hot tomato sauce)
1 can rinsed and drained black beans
frozen or canned corn
Simmer a few minutes serve with all the good stuff.
Tortilla chips
grated cheese
sour cream
sliced olives
This soup is so much better than the taco soup recipes that use a packet of 'taco seasoning'. It is the El Pato!
Try it--and I would love to try a copic!Thanks for sharing so many great ideas!
I'm going to have to start reading
up on crockpots if I win the copics
because I'll be so busy using them
I won't have time to cook. He He!!!!
OK here's a quickie: Brown a couple of bone in loin pork chops after dredging them in flour, pepper, dry mustard and garlic salt. Add to the crock with a can of chicken rice soup. The meat falls off the bone. Very tasty.

I love your blog and you've helped me more than you could possibly know. I'd love a chance to win.
Anne W.
I have the perfect blog for you to check out ~ it'shttp://crockpot365.blogspot.com/
This lady made a different crock pot recipe for 365 days straight. It's amazing what you can make in the crock pot.
My favorite recipe is:
1 Can Cream of Mushroom soup
1 Can hot water
1 PKG dry Italian seasoning mix
1 8 oz brick 1/3 less fat cream cheese
4 large boneless chicken breasts
combine ingredients except chicken very well. Once combined add chicken and cook all day.
serve over NOYOLK egg noodles.
I plan on using the crockpot myself this week. My favorite is pot roast with potatoes and carrots. I just rub the roast with garlic and onion powder, add beef broth and the veggies.
Leianne
I like beer butt in the crockpot! SNORT!!
I just bought my first 4 copic markers today. I love them! I would love to win some more!
I grew up on a farm and we didn't own a crockpot so I never really got in the hang of using one. Sorry.
Margie Geisler
You can't imagine my excited shock today when I walked into Archiver's & saw Our Craft Lounge stamps. I wanted to scream I know them!!!
There's a bunch of good recipes here, but I have super easy one that can be either red or white! Brown a lb. of hamburger, drain. Add a can of cream of mushroom soup and half a can of water. Heat through and add 1/2 to 1 Cup of frozen corn. Cook till hot and corn done. Stir in 1 cup of minute rice, cover and cook 5 minutes. Serve with crusty French bread. To make it Spanish-y, use undrained can of tomatoes and small can of tomato sauce (or a jar of spaghettie sauce) instead of cream of mushroom soup. Add corn and rice the same way. My family calls this "White Glop" or "Red Glop" for the sound it makes when it hits the plate. LOL
Wow! Copics and lunch with Miss M all in Eugene - only in Oregon! Can you tell this small town country gal is impressed and just a little green with envy - lol!
Thanks too for the reminder about crockpots. I'm still finding things in my kitchen and garage boxes from my recent (2 years ago - hee - hee) move to Southern Oregon and I knew I was forgetting something. Winter days with cider & cinnamon sticks gently steaming away waiting for a quick dip and sip not to mention hearty stews and soups cooking magically while the spinning wheel goes round (good for stamp wheels too). Doesn't get more homelike than that. Especially when the kitties howl for their share as their noses are tested beyond endurance for hours and hours....and hours.
Thanks for sharing the wealth.
Hugs and Blessings - Jean
I dont have a crock pot sorry but thanks so much for doing this for all of us what a great giveaway
Hugs

I need to dig out my crock pot and use it more...it's just a hassle to get it going in the morning before I leave. Maybe I'll spot some yummy recipes in the lineup that will get me motivated to pull it out.
Love the chance for some Copics, I'm still slowly adding them to my stash 2 or 3 at a time.
It looks like you might be trying out lots of roast recipes! My favorite is the Chicken Salsa recipe I gave you last time. I see someone else also posted it this time except she serves hers over rice. I shred mine on lettuce for a low fat meal.
Thank you so much for this chance at Copics. I've resisted so far, but if someone was to start my collection, I would HAVE to continue!
As for the crockpot recipes, I enjoyed seeing all the posts. I don't use mine very often so I just go to allrecipes.com when I'm thinking of using it and get some good ideas.
Wow! I love your blog and this is an amazing blog candy package your are giving away! Thanks so much. Well here is a link to a great little recipie http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Weekday-Pot-Roast-and-Vegetables/Detail.aspx. Thanks so much and happy cooking!
I hope I haven't shared this one with you yet, but if I have...I'm sorry!
The Ingredients.
courtesy of Confessions of a Wacky SAHM http://www.freewebs.com/awackysahm/recipeblog.htm?blogentryid=2962170
--12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, or 6 boneless, skinless breast halves
--1 cup brown sugar (it's okay. you can brush your teeth after.)
--1/4 cup lemon-lime soda (stay with me...)
--2/3 cup vinegar (I used white wine, but think regular white would be fine)
--3 cloves smashed and chopped garlic
--2 T soy sauce (La Choy and Tamari wheat free are GF)
--1 tsp ground black pepper
The Directions.
Use a 5-6 quart crockpot for this recipe.
Plop the chicken into your crockpot. Cover with the brown sugar, pepper, chopped garlic, and soy sauce. Add the vinegar, and pour in the soda. It will bubble!
Cover and cook on low for 6-9 hours, or on high for 4-5. The chicken is done when it is cooked through and has reached desired consistency. The longer you cook it, the more tender it will be.
Serve over a bowl of white rice with a ladle full of the broth.
I'm heading to bed in a minute and am too tired to type out a recipe, however, I wanted to thank you for inspiring me with your blog. I LOVE your creations and am thankful that you take the time to share them with us. Thank you too for the opportunity to win something that has been on my wish list for so long.
You can never go wrong with beef stew!

I would so love to win your blog candy, so here is a crockpot recipe for spaghetti sauce. I actually cook it all day and then make a killer lasagna. 1 lb. ground round or sirloin; 1/2 lb. mild Italian sausage; 1 - 28 oz. can tomatoes (cut up); fresh mushrooms (calls for sauteed, but sometimes I just throw them in) slice of course; 1 cup chopped onion; 3/4 cup chopped green pepper; 1/2 cup red wine (I always use way more); 1/2 cup sliced pimento stuffed green olives (medium size); 3 to 5 bay leaves; 1 T basil; 1 T oregano; 5 cloves garlic (pressed); 1 1/2 t Worchesterchire; 1/3 cup water; 1 t sugar, 1 t salt, 1/2 t chile powder; 1/8 t pepper; 2 T each of cold water and corn starch. Brown ground beef and sausage and drain fat. Transfer to crock pot. Stir in everything else except water and corn starch. Thicken at end with cornstarch and water. Delish!!! Cheryl in Reno-Sparks, NV

WOW great Candy!! Thanks for the chance!
I'm a fly by the seat of my pants, throw things together, rarely use a recipe (unless I'm baking) kind of cook. One of our favorite easy meals is when I make chicken breasts or fish fillets(salmon is our favorite)and steamed veggies in individual foil packets.Place each serving of meat onto a sheet of aluminum foil and top with fresh veggies of your choice. I usually cut up broccoli, cauliflower,baby carrots,onions,whole green beans and zucchini. Then salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle with grill seasoning(Roasted Garlic and Herbs by McCormick GrillMates is our favorite) and drizzle with olive oil.Seal all the edges of the foil and place packets on a cookie sheet and into a preheated 375 degree oven. Bake until the meat is done and the veggies are tender. We love this meal (including my teenagers)and it is very healthy for us as well. Enjoy! And thanks for the chance to win the copics. I've been wanting to try some!

Here's my never-fail crockpot chili:
1 lb. of ground beef
1 pkg. of chili seasoning
1 can of canned chili beans
1 can of red kidney beans
2 cans of diced tomatoes
In the morning while making breakfast, brown the ground beef in a skillet with the chili seasoning. Throw that in the crock pot, along with all the ingredients from the cans. Let it cook on low until dinnertime. (Sometimes I add more tomato sauce or paste depending on how it's doing.) That's it! Yummy! And easily doubled for your larger family.

I have an easy chicken crocpot recipe. Just add some chicken, a can of chicken gravy, and some chopped up potatos. Cook for 6 hours or until tender. I then add a can of peas prior to turning the crockpot off. Goes great with some Hawaiian rolls.

Wow - great blog candy. I like to make roast in my crockpot, I should use it more, it would certainly simplify my life. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I love the crockpot too. Here's my recipe:
1 rump roast. Place in the crock pot with just a small amount of water. Salt, pepper, garlic powder. Cook on low all day. Slice roast about 30 min. before eating and leave in the juice it will have made. We use french bread or horgie buns. Makes a great french dip sandwich.

Thanks for the chance to play! I am not much of a cook. Costco has a great assortment of meals that I can make. Teriyaki Pineapple Meatballs is one of our favorites!
not sure if you've ever been to Hawaii, but here's a 'quick' crock pot version of kalua pig/pork: pork butt, liquid smoke, rock salt
love your blog!

Hello Cambria
We had yummy Mediterrean Spinach Meatloaf cooked in our silpat cookware. Sorry I can't get to the recipe right now because I might have a fracture heel. I was at SU Leadership and Regionals in Orlando and fell in front of the convention center Saturday morning. I go to the Orthopedic Surgeon Monday Morning. What a weird accident but stamping makes it feel better.

With a small turkey just add saltnpepper and a block of butter in the cavity and then tada...best bird I've tasted ever. Thanks for a chance to win this wonderful blog candy!
