Hi Everyone! I hope your weekend was enjoyable. Fifteen days to go until Christmas, is everyone ready yet?

I've made today's recipe a few times and it's quite tasty. I remember one time I made it, I got everything set up in the pot, turned it on then went out. When I returned, I realized I didn't plug in the crockpot before turning it on. Anyways, always make sure the crockpot is plugged in before turning it on, it results in food that is actually COOKED! Enjoy!
