Pardon me while I just take the slow cooker insert and just start eating right out of it. Because I thought about it. Then I thought, I should just have this for dinner...the whole thing...all for me. Sometimes I have these "selfish chef" moments...where I want it all to myself, and this....THIS. This is one of those. If it wouldn't look awkward for me to place the slow … [Read more...]

It's kinda like cake...but not quite as sweet and sugar laden. It's … [Read more...]
