What's For Dinner?

John bought me a new crock pot the other day, and I am so excited! I had an old one, but it was a piece of you-know-what in that it didn't have but 2 settings and the inner cooking pot was not removable. If I ever did use it (and that was rare), it would sit dirty on the counter for up to 2 weeks since it was such a pain in the rump to clean.
I made one of those Crock Pot Classics dinners in it and it turned out WONDERFUL!! Love the whole "set it and forget it" kind of dinner. :)
Isn't she a beauty? :) Yes, it IS sad that I took a picture of a crock pot.
Mmmmmm, roast with all the fixins...can't you just smell that?!?!

Speaking of dinner, my good friend Lindsay Schumacher is starting her own business called Dinnerthyme Meals. She has a God-given talent of cooking and wants to share it with the world (or at least Amarillo for now). She had a taste-testing of sorts a few weeks ago where she supplied us with a meal that feeds 4-6 people for a very reasonable price. Let me just tell you, she is an amazing cook! I scarfed everything down in record time, and even the kids at a great dinner.
Lindsay will be cooking hot meals and delivering them on Thursdays. The full portion (feeds 4-6 people) is $35, and the 1/2 portion (feeds 2-3 people) is $20. You can contact her to see what is on the menu each week and even be part of her weekly emailing of menus.
Also, she will be providing frozen casseroles for $20 (feeds 8) or $12 (feeds 4). Those are available anytime. The casseroles she has available are Italian Sausage Lasagna, King Ranch Chicken, and Chicken Tetrazzini.
Her contact information is: dinnerthyme@yahoo.com or 584-6801. I think this would be a great service for someone that has had a baby, a funeral, surgery, a big get-together, or something of that sort.

Congrats on the new cookware! I can relate to your love for the crockpot, or as I call mine the crackpot. It's addicting and makes life more bearable ;)
