Have you been spying slow cooker and crock pot recipes across the intergalacticweb? Have you wondered to yourself what the difference is between a slow cooker and a crock pot and whether you need one or the other or both? Great news! I just googled “difference between slow cooker and crock pot.” Yeeeeah, they’re the same thing. You knew this. I didn’t. Because I have always referred to my slow cooker as crock pot (err…crock pot as crock pot?), I was pretty psyched to find I didn’t need to purchase an extra kitchen appliance for the sake of keeping up with the Joneses.
Through the fall and winter months, I lean on my crock pot hard. The minimal prep time and the deep slow cooked flavors make crocking one of my favorite activities. Do I feel like I’m cheating the system each and every time I make a meal in the crock pot? I used to, but then I realized happiness trumps guilt each and every time.
I made a recipe roundup which includes meals, sauces AND desserts from all over the web for your crocking enjoyment. Let’s be happy! Let’s crock.

Ok… I officially MUST buy a slow cooker/crock pot!
Growing up I always called it a crock pot, then somewhere along the line a couple years ago I started calling it a slow cooker. Potato-pototo, if you ask me. Can’t wait to cook my way through this round up!
I call it a crockpot! Not sure why, but i do!!
