Shall I Compare Thee To My Crock Pot?

The cooler weather we have been experiencing has started my fall food cravings....I know, it's a little early to give up summer days, but....  On Sunday, I put a roast in the crock pot with carrots and red potatoes and I couldn't wait to open the door after church.  I love the response I get when everyone smells it....(they pretty much melt at the door...I think it is a better response than the oooos and ahhhhs at the fireworks :)....and that it is ready for eating without much preparation...yahoo!  I am always looking for easy and quick recipes that everyone in my family will eat....that can be so challenging....but, I am so thankful for the invention of the crock pot.

But, a pot roast will definitely happen for my family!  When Brad and I dated, he made fun of me for how much I loved crock pots (even then), so I made a book for him....It was a love story starring a crock pot...

(I attribute some of my success in finally winning him over to that piece of fine literature....

I think it made him a little jealous :)

Since there are seven people in our family, we all take a day of the week to bless the food for our family meal together.  Brad has Sundays.  So, yesterday, we all bowed our heads to pray and Kassi blurted out, 

"Dad, don't make this a long prayer!"

Apparently, 

Thou art more...

..long-winded than necessary on pot roast Sunday :)
