Day 10: I am grateful to my crockpot! As the person solely responsible for all food preparation in a house full of people who love to eat, my crockpot is one of my most valuable possessions. Recently, after a particularly exhausting day, I said girls, I think that Im just going to make scrambled eggs and toast for dinner... And Bunny (in total seriousness-- no sass at all) said, Lila, pay attention. Mama is testing us to see if we are listening. The thought of an unbalanced meal was completely ridiculous to her. Even though we all need to cut corners sometimes in order to make life bearable, food is not one of the places that my family tolerates those corners being cut. And I really feel the pressure. These days, my afternoons and evenings are particularly hectic and it is a lifesaver to be able to toss a bunch of stuff into my crockpot at 10am and come home at 6:30 to a fully cooked dinner! Its like a magic bowl of heat that turns stuff from my kitchen into hardy, delicious meals... with almost no effort on my part!
