There are more recipes that I collect and I receive most of them through a website called Emazing.

I collect the recipes and save them to a disk. Then I will print them, put a protective cover on them, and put them in a three ringed binder. I haven't tried any of them yet. I also have desserts if anyone is interested. I really like the ones that have vegetables and salads. When I make soups and stews, I like to add alot of vegetables. I can actually make a great vegetable soup. By the way, does anyone use a crock pot? I know some people would put things in them before going to work. But I feel very uncomfortable leaving a crock pot unattended. So I usually cook something while I am home.

nena10, I always used my crockpot while I was working. I'd put in a stew, or one of my hubbies favorites pork roast. Never worried about it. Made lots of meals that way. As I didn't get home till about 5:30 pm ut really helped.

Nena, Your recipies sound great!!!! I would love some crockpot recipies, I use mine alot!

By the way, were can I get Roasted Garlic?

Nena, in order to have roasted garlic you need to roast it yourself. It is fairly easy to do, you buy a big bulb of garlic and pull it apart, peel the cloves, place the peeled cloves on a square of tin foil and toss it with cooking oil (small amount) cook at 350 degrees in a pre-heated oven for 10-15 minutes, take it out and mash it with a fork. Roasting garlic brings out the full flavor of the garlic and really adds a nice touch to a meal.
