Well, I've finally started working on one of my resolution's for this year, which was to try to cook more. I, honestly, am not a big fan of cooking, mostly because I have a really bad tendency of...forgetting about it. You know, you'll put something on the stove and start cooking and walk away - because it can totally keep for a few minutes, right? Well, I'm the girl that walks away and then completely forgets about it. I blame this on the fact that I am still not used to cooking on electric despite the fact that I moved four years ago and should therefore be completely used to it.

Anyway.

To combat my oh-my-god-I-suck-at-cooking-why-is-the-house-smoking thing, I've turned to using a crock-pot and let me tell you it's made all the difference in the world. Anything that I can just throw the ingredients in and come back to it later is totally a win. One of, if not The, easiest and more tasty of recipes I've found lately is:

Crockpot Chicken Tacos )

The other recipe I made tonight for my family for dessert and it was excellent:
Tripe Chocolate Mess )

Forgive me for all the notes involved. This is why I don't keep a recipe book. I ramble. :P

I've got a couple of recipes lined up for the future. Two of them are breakfast dishes left to cook over night and one is another dessert dish (Cherry Cobbler). I'll let you guys know how it works out. :D
