  1. This is my second time making this and when I told my husband this was upcoming on the menu, he started DROOLING! This is one of the best slow cooker recipes I have come across! And it is so simple! I LOVE coming home to the smell of dinner ready! Thanks for putting this one up!
     
  2. SCRUMPTIOUS!! I used a 4lb pork loin and due to curcumstances beyond my control it marinated 3 days. I kept turning it and kept it in a colder part of the fridge. Otherwise I followed directions. I served it with garlic bread and cabbage (husband doesn't eat tortillas). My husband & I agree we shouldn't have it too often because it's hard to quit eating.
     
  3. This was very good. I used an 7 lb roast and about 1 1/2 times the liquid in the same proportions. I marinated about 18 hours and cooked on high for about 6:30. The only thing I would do differently is to use 1 bay leaf instead of two and more garlic.

I am a mother of three and live in central Pennsylvania. My children were very active in after school activities and found we weren't spending anytime together at meal time. In 1998, I decided to start cooking my dinners in a crockpot so that we could have a home cooked meal together once everyone came home. My children now get so excited to see what we are having to eat and love the smell when they walk in the door. My family calls me the crock pot queen. LOL I use my crock pot everyday of the year. <br> <br>My three children are now in college and before they come home they request their favorite meal. I still continue to cook in the crock pot for my husband and I. It is nice after a long day to know your meal is ready. It also helps in keeping my grocery bill down. With zaar, I can print my shopping list and that is all I purchase is the ingredients on that list. <br> <br>Now, my two daughters have been crock pot cooking while in college. They find it is easy to cook for the themselves and their friends. It is an easy way to have friends over for dinner after classes <br> <br>I still love trying new recipes and purchasing cookbooks, especially crock pot cookbooks. <br> <br>Happy Cooking!
