Fall Cookin'

The crisper air has me in the mood to cook.  After talking to Matt's mom a few days ago, it turns out I'm not the only person that thinks this way.

I love spending hours in the kitchen chopping fresh veggies for a new crock pot recipe, but what I really enjoy is baking.

Last year my big kick was delicious pumpkin/chocolate chip cookies.

This year, to be more practical, I've loaded up the pantry (and put a bunch of meat in the freezer) with go-to items for the crock pot.  By the time Matt and I get home from work, neither of us wants to cook so this is a great solution.

Tonight we're trying Apple Butter Ribs.

P.S - Thanks to my wonderful family members who got us the Crock Pot for our wedding!  Clearly we're getting some great use out of it!
