Tip #1

I’m learning so much about slow cookers that I didn’t know before. I’ll share these little gems with you as I learn them.

Tip #1: As a general rule, lifting the lid off the slow cooker lengthens the cooking time by 30 minutes to an hour

I never knew this before! I would always lift the lid off and look inside. But apparently, the steam that’s trapped inside all escapes and then the meal won’t cook as fast.

    You don’t know me. I found your blog through my cousin’s blog. Anyhow, thanks for doing this. I’m an lds mom in southern california with 2 little ones and have wanted to do crockpot recipes more lately. Thanks for the inspiration. Lizzie Lamm

Hi! I'm Karen

I know that dinner time can be less than relaxing. Busy schedules and cranky kids and a hundred other things can lead to weariness when it comes to putting dinner on the table. I can help! I make homemade, family-friendly slow cooker and Instant Pot dinners and share the recipes with you.
Karen
