As we head into the summer months, my beloved slow cooker switches into high gear. See, I try and avoid using the oven if at all possible, so the slow cooker gets a lot of use. We all know you can save money and feed the many by serving garden vegetables. One way I save is by having veggie night once a week. And sometimes the slow cooker helps me out.

May 17, 2012 at 11:45 PMWe use the crock pot year around. It makes cooking a meal so easy, but we live in the south, and have nearly 8 months of summer, along with some really warm Springs and Falls. Even a little crock pot can make our tiny trailer uncoolable.
We now run an extension cord from our outside plug that my Dad installed, and out to a picnic table. We also purchased a toaster over, and can take chicken or a roast outside to cook.
