i love you, crockpot...

i love crockpot cooking.  there is just something about having something put together early in the day, then bubbling away & set to serve later when i make a big to-do about opening up the lid & announcing "dinner....is served".  the crockpot makes me feel accomplished or something.  unlike the scatterbrained pulled-in-every-direction mom i really am where almost every other day when 5:30 hits & i'm like "dinner?  oh man, i have to think of something for dinner....again?"  

so...yes, i love crockpot cooking.  it is good for my ego. :)

now this recipe won't be dinner (or maybe it will be?  lol)  but my friend, maureen, posted this applesauce recipe on facebook last week & this chilly, slow monday is just perfect to give it a go.

recipe:

12 apples, peeled & cored

1 cup water

splash lemon juice

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

pop it all in the crockpot for 5-7 hours on low.

i've got it cooking away right now.  trying to think of an excuse to go somewhere, just so i can leave the house & come back to that delicious apples & cinnamon aroma when i walk in the door.

i'll tell you how it turns out.  although, i'm thinking this one is sure to be a score :)

happy monday indeed!

LOL Gigi...I am exactly the same. Usually so very last minute, so the crockpot makes me feel super organised! I can't stand cooked apple, so will give the recipe a miss...but your cupcakes costumes are ADORABLE!
