Texas summers are hot. Like really hot. As in its still close to 100 degrees at almost midnight hot. Definitely too hot to turn on your oven & truthfully, it's even to hot to turn on the stove burners. It's almost so hot you don't even want to bother eating. Almost.
The slow cooker is with out question a go-to cooking appliance this time of the year. It is perfect in these hot summer days for making a little pulled pork while you and the family are spending the day hanging out pool side (and it keeps the kitchen cool- no oven required!). It's fabulous too though in the cooler months for popping in a roast before taking the kids to school, and you know a delicious, hearty dinner will be waiting for everyone later after football practice or dance class is over.
In an effort to finish off the summer as cool as possible, myself & a few of my good food blogger gals are bringing y'all an entire week dedicated to honoring the ever useful, kitchen cooling, throw it in and forget it, all mighty Crock Pot.
Be looking for new Crock Pot recipes from us all week and a few awesome slow cooker recipe round-ups posts brought to you by...
Julie from This Gal Cooks
Carrie from Frugal Foodie Mama
Paula from Call Me PMc
Jaime from Mom's Test Kitchen
It wouldn't be a true celebration of all things Crock Pot if we weren't going to also give away a Crock Pot to one of you all...
But it is not just any Crock Pot... it is a 6 Quart Digital Programmable Stainless Steel Crock-Pot and comes with a 16 ounce Little Dipper Warmer- perfect for a sauce, gravy, or dip to go with that main dish you have been effortlessly slow cooking all day! And we are not stopping there, folks. Oh nooooo... we are also throwing in the cookbook, Year-Round Slow Cooker: 100 Recipes For Every Season by Dina Cheney! :)

Be sure to link up (it can get you an extra entry in the giveaway!), but keep it to just slow cooker recipes, folks! We will be monitoring the links every day and deleting those that are not for the Crock Pot. ;)
