Does This Make Me A Texas Crock Pot Mom?

So this is going down today. Can I say I have not been so excited about something in a very long time? I cannot wait to get home, walk in the door and that smell hit me. The smell of something yummy, in this case, pot roast, cooking in the crock pot. I am not and never have been a crock pot person I normally do not 'throw something in the crock pot' for it to be ready when the family gets home in the evening after the day's activities.

No offense to my crock pot, I do own one but I just do not know many crock pot recipes. I grew up with dad having to eat his frijoles and tortillas with every single meal, I don't think we even owned a crock pot when I was younger. I never saw it, much less mom make anything in it.

I have so many busy mom friends who make stews, all different kinds of soup, chicken breast dishes, and chili, I just need them each to share their recipes. For working moms like myself, I'm beginning to think a crock pot is the way to go! I need to do it more often because I can easily find recipes on Pinterest just like I did with this one for crock pot roast.

Why am I so far behind? Because I chose to make things difficult for myself that's why. New Year's resolution #1, become a crock pot mom, and with tonight's dinner its a start. Crock pot moms unite and share your recipes!
