    I would have to say the recipes would help more. I am constantly struggling with throwing dinner together. Mainly because I have just run out of ideas. I have recently discovered a love for my crock pot and would love to have some more recipes to use it for.

    At this point . . . I would say the art would be more helpful. However, my hubby was asking if I would start making some crock pot meals to save time. I love collecting new recipes so this basket gives me the best of both worlds. My daughter would really benefit from the chalk pastel book. She loves art! Thank you for this opportunity!

    We are always looking for new recipes! I love to cook, but as a season comes to an end, I find I am always struggling to find something “different” to make and end up getting bored with meals. New recipes help shake the doldrums of cooking that start to show up after weeks of similar meals. 🙂
