I've been experimenting in the kitchen a bit lately, especially where the Crock Pot is concerned. Since it's such an easy method of cooking, I've been looking up new recipes and trying them out. Last week was a beef roast recipe that turned out pretty good, albeit the meat was a bit chewy on reheating. This week it's a chicken dish and if it turns out right, it'll be like chicken pot pie filling.
Anyone else been experimenting in their kitchen recently?
My husband is a culinary arts student so there is always some experimentation happening in my kitchen. Tonight we made a pork loin stuffed with spinach, bacon, shallots, asiago, and parmesan cheese. Delicious!

What is it lately about crock pots? I must be the only person in the world that doesn't own one. I guess I need to get one. I will admit that they sound like a good idea for summer, cooking but not heating up the kitchen.
If at first you don't succeed, go back and do it the way Mother told you to.

Hi A good tip is to use the prepackaged marinades in the crock pot. Several brands from barbeque to mojo lime. Just mix it up and chuck in the meat. I use chicken parts, pork roasts, beef and pork ribs and beef roasts. Allow about 2/3 pound per person and cook on low all day.

We've been trying out some new recipes here lately, but we've been on a grilling kick now that the weather has finally warmed up enough to get outside. We've been trying out different marinade recipes and experimenting with grilling different sides.
