GIVEAWAY!

How’d you like to win this guy:

Crockpot1 

I would!! I love the concept of crockpots but have never owned one. I love “cook in a pot” meals and soups, so I think something that was safe to leave on all day would be really fun 🙂

BlogHer has partnered with Tropicana’s Trop 50, a new orange juice beverage with 50% less cal and 50% less sugar, to form a new site called The Juice, a new online community where women can share and exchange practical advice and tips on how to get more of what they want, and less of what they don’t.

In honor of all-things-practical and handy, The Juice is giving you guys a chance to win this lovely crockpot and cookbook of recipes to use with it.

TO ENTER: Leave a comment with a crock-pot friendly dish you’d want to make first!

My answer>: overnight steal cut oatmeal, of course!

Crockpot2

Here’s a video on meal planning and using a slow cooker, including how to make yogurt and a vegan sweet potato chili.

This contest goes until June 8 – I’ll be picking a random winner then!

Happy Slow Cooking!

    Oatmeal sounds like a fun idea! I just like the whole notion of putting in things and coming back home to a full meal – but I’d probably try my hand at a chili first!

    i would make vegetarian stews (lots of veggies in heart healthy tomato sauces)!

    i couldn’t even tell you how much easier a crock pot would make my life–my partner is in school and working full time (to pay for school), and i’m working long hours to keep us afloat in the meantime. if i could work a couple of extra hours each night and know i was coming home to a hot, homecooked meal, it would be awesome!!

    i hope you guys have fun on the cruise!!

    I have this crockpot recipe I have always wanted to try – it’s a breakfast casserole of peppers and onions, eggs, hashbrowns, and a little bacon cooked overnight. It’s surprisingly not extremely high calorie, and it would be a perfect Sunday Brunch dish.

    A casserole potroast is also spectacularly delish!

    My mom makes a great overnight apple oatmeal with barley for my Dad every week. He eats it the first morning and then reheats the leftovers all week until they’re gone.

    Anyway, I recently came across a crockpot recipe for bread that I’d really like to try, just because I’d never associated bread with a crockpot!
