WHOEVER INVENTED THE CROCK POT.....GOD BLESS YOUR MINISTRY




So over the weekend, I was formerly introduced to a crock pot.  Now I'm old school, to cook, you get pots, pans, and baking products and use.  Of course I've heard of the crock pot but never thought to use it (don't forget, I live in a pink world so some things just aren't a priority for me).  I was amazed at how preparing vegetables, oxtails, seasoning and adding water into this mini tank (that's what I call it....LOL), would cook on it's on, throughout the night and be ready to serve when I wake up in the morning.....talk about a revelation.


Now my mom preps meals and leaves them in the oven while she's away from the house,for a while, all of the time.  That idea scares me to death.  So this cooking while I'm at home and don't have to even stir the content if I choose not to, EXCITES me.  I have a small child and preteens who need as much of my time and attention as possible, so every second counts not to be slaving over a hot stove, cooking.  


Short story about this crock pot, the meal came out GREAT....I'm talking finger licking good.  So help me get started on cooking more meals like this in the crock pot.  Send me your favorite crock pot receipes or links to websites that are helpful!!!!

I SURVIVED MIAMI!!!!

Some people make New Year's Resolution, I enjoyed a New Year's Getaway to MIAMI.  Relaxed, ate and drank most of the time, that I was there.  The point of this trip after all.  It started off and ended peacefully.  I enjoyed coming back to Chicago and kicking ass with my life off the ground and looking forward to new people and new things.


Felicia, meet TRINA!!! TRINA is my alter ego and usually comes out under the influence.  I admit, it can get rough whenever she's on deck but nevertheless, I LOVE HER!!!  You see Felicia is the "do-gooder" or at least, I try to do good 75% of the time.  TRINA is carefree and reckless if you cross her wrong.  I guess TRINA was on deck one night in MIAMI ....LOL.....oh well don't remember anything that I've said , and whatever, I'm confident that I MEANT IT, whether good or bad!!!


You see this trip was intended for me to let my hair down a bit and enjoy some sun, get some me time away from my kids, work and my foundation.  Hell, I worked super hard in six months just for my foundation alone.  So I deserved this getaway.  I'm so grateful for the trip and can't wait to get back to the other city that I claim is mine......MIAMI!!!!!


I wonder why I don't like their NBA team......LOL......GO BULLS!!!!!
