Have you guys discovered the best thing on Earth?
Other than "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?" (still bitter about Netflix taking it off on the 9th)
Well, it's a Crockpot, ladies and gentleman. An actual Crockpot.
My mom and grandmother both had one as I was growing up, but I never really understood just how amazing they are.
If you know me, you know that when I cook, I cook once a week for the entire week. But I cook the same thing; brown rice and ground turkey because it actually works for me.
As the saying goes, if it isn't broke, don't fix it.
But then my best friend got a Crockpot as a gift, and I started to understand just how amazing they are. Apparently my mom's awesome pot roast that she makes inside of it wasn't enough to convince me.
I finally broke down and bought one about four months ago because they were on sale and let me tell you. NOT A SINGLE REGRET
That bad boy can cook anything! And the best thing is that you're basically doing no work! All you have to do is season it, put it in there, somewhat keep an eye on you, and in like five or six hours, you will have yourself a whole meal.
I'm just confused on how I didn't discover how great it is before now. I could've saved myself a lot of money in college instead of getting food delivered any time that I felt lazy (which was quite often).
Pinterest has also become my new best friend because any time I get the chance to make something new in my Crockpot for that week, I jump at the chance. And I made a bomb creamed corn for Friendsgiving that was everything I could have dreamt of and more.
So that's it. If that hasn't convinced you to get a Crockpot, I don't know what will.
Because there is nothing that screams "adult" more than being excited to go home and make something in your Crockpot.
Hey, look I'm one step closer.
