Inspired by Randoms ( easternshoregirl amesie) It’s fall and about to be winter (high crockpot season) plus we will be having babies in a few months and will likely want to have easy meals at our fingertips plus I always make the same things over and over and I need new ideas Post your fav crockpot recipes!

I’m making this for the first time tonight so I don’t have a review yet. It’s basically glorified salsa chicken so not a lot of room for error but it smells good while cooking! Serving it over rice. www.skinnytaste.com/crock-pot-santa-fe-chicken-425-pts/ETA w my review: it was good! Changes I made: reduced cayanne from 1 tsp to 1/4 tsp bc DS1 was going to eat this, definitely added salt, added sugar too. Sugar sounds weird but it always adds in tomato recipes. The comments on the recipe said it had too much liquid but if you put the chicken back in for 30 mins after you shred like the recipe states, it soaks up a lot. Plus, we served over rice. Def do the garnishes she recommends.

I did a bunch of freezer meals (prep it all in ziploc bags and freeze, then cook when you want) before E was born and used them while on maternity leave and especially after I went back to work. For this LO, I will prob do the same prep but use the Instant Pot more. New Leaf Wellness is my go-to site for these recipes, I do their chick pea curry, balsamic beef and carrots and I don't remember what else! I also really like this chicken tortilla soup: nataliehodson.com/chicken-tortilla-soup/I do Alton Brown's steel cut oats in the crock pot too, for breakfasts.

I make almost the exact same thing but I use a premade seasoning packet and I think is called fiesta chicken. My favorite crock pot recipe by far!

Also I highly recommend using crock pot liners. They are cheap and it makes clean up a million times easier.

I will be back with recipes but can I expand upon this and ask if anyone has favorite recipes for the Instant Pot? I bought one last week and LOVE it, I have used it at least 5 times already haha.

I just bought this cookbook in hopes to use my crockpot more: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1617652172/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1I have been VERY impressed so far. I have done 2 recipes and both have been delicious. We’re doing a 3rd tomorrow (pork roast) and am so excited. I went through it when I first got it and flagged the recipes that looked good and ended up flagging like the entire book!! It was important to find recipes that I can “set it and forget it”... I didn’t want to have to brown this and cook this and mix this... I literally wanted to dump everything in the pot and go and most (if not all!) recipes in here that I have seen are exactly this.

I can’t wrap my mind around an instant pot. I don’t know what my problem is! I didn't think they were all that but then DH expressed interest in one and I jumped on it and now I love it. It is amazing to be able to cook a pork roast in 45 minutes and we both thought it tasted better than it usually does in the crock pot!

As much as I use the crock pot, I know I'll love the instant pot even more.
