Natalie's Recipes Now deemed the crockpot queen by my family, I have actually made crockpot recipes for an entire week; a different delicious crockpot recipe every day for seven days!  Seriously, here's how it all began:

I went from living alone to being a wife, stepmom of three and mother of one.  I love my family and my children dearly and became a stay at home mom once my baby was born.  I began delving into recipes and truly began to enjoy cooking, but always had some problems.  How was I supposed to help my 10 year old stepdaughter with her homework, amuse my 1 year old daughter, and occupy my twin 4 year old stepsons, all while cooking dinner?  My solution became crockpot cooking.

Short of ordering a pizza (unhealthy!) or bringing home fast food (even worse!), crockpot cooking is by far the best stress-free way to put dinner on the table.  I realized after experimenting with my crock pot I needed to share these recipes with others.  When I worked full time, I lacked the time, energy, and resources to find and experiment with new recipes, therefore relying on the same recipes night after night.

I sincerely hope you enjoy the recipes throughout this website.  Throw a few ingredients in the crockpot, turn it on, and come home to a house full of amazing aromas and a relaxing meal time.  Nothing to do before dinner except spoon the meal onto the plate!  Most crockpot recipes that I offer have less than 15 minutes prep time (some can be done the night before) which makes putting together a nutritious, delicious, healthy meal easier than ever!

Although you will find many great recipes on this site, the crockpot is my main focus.  Come - rediscover your crockpot with me.  The crockpot is not just for pot roasts and chili anymore!
