Crock Pot Girls

I came across a website the other day called Crock Pot Girls. I figured I'm a girl and I've got a crockpot so why not try out some of their recipes?! First, I had to locate my crockpot. I finally found it on the top shelf of the pantry filled with junk and covered in about an inch of dust. After I soaked it for awhile to make sure it was clean, I got on my computer and pulled a few recipes off the site. And then...wait for it...wait for it....I made a grocery list! An actual list with stuff on it that I take to the grocery store. First time EVER! Usually I just kind of grab and go, but not this time. I took in my little list and an hour and a half later I emerged with enough items to complete 2 weeks of crockpot meals.




When I got home I was so excited that I decided to start cooking right away. We'd already eaten dinner so I figured I'd start with something simple...dessert! The dessert I chose was called Ministers Delight. (I'm a minister so why not making something delightful?!) Basically it's just Dump Cake in a crock pot....can of cherries, cake mix and butter. Theoretically even I can't screw that up.



The added bonus to the dessert was the cherries. Cherries are bright red. It's a joke around our house that everything I cook is beige. So by adding the cherries I got that little "pop" of color that most of my food doesn't have. It actually turned out pretty darn yummy!
