Spring has sprung and I’m loving the warmer weather!
Has it started to warm up where you live? Or maybe you live in a nice climate year-round? If so, can I move in with you?
I love three seasons here in Chicago, but really despise winter. So when the sun is shining longer and the temps are rising, I’m one happy girl. I just get that spring-is-in-the-air, fresh feeling. Know what I mean?
The flowers are blooming, trees are budding, and the smell of freshly cut grass is lingering. Oh, spring, how I love thee! Since it’s the gateway to summer, I’m on-board!
And because of the nicer weather, I’m just itching to be outside, enjoying the sun on my patio. I look forward to dinners outside, relaxing with a book, and taking in the sights. Are you the same way, too?
Once spring and summer hits, I try to limit my time in the kitchen. I like to make easier meals, grill more (well, that would be the hubster), and meal prep, when I can. Less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying the season is the name of my game, friends!
And that’s why I’m loving the Crock-Pot® 6-Quart Express Crock Multi-Cooker. It such an easy way to take care of meal time when you’ve got other things to do. The Express Crock’s 8 pre-set pressurized settings makes one-pot meals easier than ever, friends! You can choose to eat sooner, or you can use the slow cooker setting to set it, and forget it, for a tasty meal later in the day. The Express Crock has a non-stick cooking pot that’s dishwasher safe. Sign me up!
The Crock-Pot Express Crock is pretty much my dream appliance. A slow cooker, pressure cooker, and so much more, all in one. And with a brand like Crock-Pot, you know it’s gotta be good!
Since I’m all about those simple meals around here, I decided to whip up a quick meal that’s loaded with flavor and perfect to enjoy during spring (and every other season, too).
