A Year of Slow Cooking

2008 Flashback: The Entire Year, in order



In 2008, I made a New Year's Resolution to use my slow cooker every single day for a year.

Was I nuts? Probably.

Want to read all the posts in order? (because you have way too much time on your hands, or are incredibly bored? it's okay. I won't judge.)

Thank You so much for taking the time to share all of these!! I am so excited to try some of them. They all look amazing so it is hard to decide.

Glad I found this! (by someone else, through Pinterest) I love my crockpot and I once went throuh like 2 months of using it. My husband bought a slow cooker recipe book from a fundraiser. I like cooking something different everyday and I thought it'd be fun to make all the recipes in the book. I did! From beginning to end. I discovered there's so much you can make on it, it's amazing.

Can't wait to make your 2008's resolution my 2012. ;)

Thanks again!

what in the world did you ever do with all of the leftovers?

Paige Walker said...

I noticed on one of your entries/recipes I just read that it said your daily had gone gluten free. Are all of these recipes gluten free???

Stephanie O'Dea said...

Hi Paige, yes. We happen to be gluten free because my (now 7) daughter has Celiac, and we've all decided to be GF at home. All the recipes are gluten free, but if you aren't you can simply ignore my notes. :-)

Amy C said...

You are awesome...for taking on this task AND for sharing it with everyone. I love to use my crockpot and I'm always looking for new recipes to try...guess I've got plenty to choose from now! Thank you!

You have inspired the slow cooker in me

Chelsea said...

I have the same slow cooker as you and I have a question. Have you figured out a way to make it work with a delay timer? I am always gone at work for 10+ hours and I would love a way to make the cooking start a few hours after I leave the house.

Eryn Kurowski said...

Wow!!! I am impressed! Makes me want to break out my crockpot even more! (I'm already addicted to cooking with it.)

CherylK said...

Wow! What a great collection of recipes...(found you via Pinterest)!

Thank you for the GREAT list of recipes! Chelsea this might help, at Home Depot they have a timer that you can set the time you want it to turn on and off. I'm sure other places sell them that's where I got mine.

Ellen said...

I am always looking for crockpot recipes. Thanks for making my life easier with your list!!

Kaye said...

Just ordered both books from Amazon. It will be so nice to have HUNDREDS of recipes that I DON'T have to check for gluten--woohoo!!! My husband and I got married 6 years ago and each brought a crockpot into the marriage. I plan to put them through their paces. You are a God-send!
