After a week of vacation/eating out and the cold temps. here this week, I’m ready for some good old fashioned home-cooked meals. Who is going to cook them for me?

Actually, my crockpot is going to do most of the work for me this week unless I get other takers to cook for me. You’ve got to love the crockpot. Throw it in in the morning and it’s magically ready in the evening. Then on Friday I’m going to put my birthday present to use and try out the Blackstone. I’ve used it once so far and I love it. The cooking space is so much larger than a skillet so you can cook everything at once and it all comes off the grill hot at the same time. And the cleanup is ten times easier. No grease splattered smelly kitchen to clean up. Just scrape the remnants into the grease catcher, wipe down with a little water and rub with a bit of oil to season for the next time. 10 out of 10 recommend.

Happy cooking to all! I share my menu in hopes it helps spur ideas for your own dinners this week. If you try anything out and love it or have your own favorite dinner ideas that I need to try, drop me a comment and let me know. Here’s to a great week and warm food!
