Dear Reader,

A Crock Pot Challenge from Amy...

"Hi Suzanne, I love your recipe section, but wondered if you have any favorite crock pot recipes? The only one you list is the one for your famous stuffing, but maybe you have others. With all the working moms out there reading with you, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would enjoy having some new ideas for the crock pot. But I do have to warn you that I'm not a huge fan of cream of mushroom soup, and so many crock pot recipes involve it."--Thanks! Amy

(Suzanne replies:) Amy, I love a challenge. At first I couldn't think of any and then I dug through my recipes and came up with two great dishes that I used to make, Ginger Pork and a Mediterranean Pot Roast.

Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.

Okay, Suzanne, yesterday you struck home with your stress answer (I realized while I was driving today one of the problems is I "let" my husband stress me out by my playing on my guilt for failing traditional roles like cook--he's a much better cook than I.) Then you help "cure" me the next day with these untraditional crock pot recipes. I'll try the Mediterrean Pot Roast, but I know for sure the Ginger Pork will be a winner. Defining the problem and then providing part of the solution all in two days--You are amazing. Thanks!
