If there is a time of year that calls for cute and bright and fun, it is January. We’ve had unseasonably warm weather here in central Pennsylvania this winter until this week when it turned frigid, windy, and gray. Suddenly we remembered that this is not April, but, in fact, January!
That’s why we’re giving away these three (3) 1.5-quart Proctor Silex slow cookers. Aren’t they adorable? This slow cooker is ideal for delicious appetizers and dips. And because you can win three in this giveaway, you can have Hot Beef Dip and Hot Broccoli Dip and Chocolate Fondue going at the same time!
Because we’re also practical folks, we’re also giving the one lucky winner this everyday workhorse of a slow cooker—the 6-quart Hamilton Beach Stay or Go. This slow cooker has settings for High, Low, and Warm so you can make your favorite meal ahead of time and keep it warm until it’s time to eat. The slow-cooker crock is also dishwasher safe.
But perhaps our favorite feature of this slow cooker is that there’s a place on the handle of the lid to store a spoon! Now you won’t forget your favorite serving spoon when you’re heading out the door.
(Hamilton Beach and Proctor Silex don’t know how much their slow cookers brighten our winter days or that we’re giving away these slow cookers.)

As a single mom on a tight budget I love coming home to a warm delicious crockpot meal that I can enjoy with my kids just talking about their day around the table. Make me happy that my time is spent with them and not in the kitchen all evening.

A call from my grandchildren!! =]
I like to make new recipes when it’s gray, cold, and icky outside. It helps to keep the winter blahs away and makes the day exciting! I could soooo use a new crockpot. My current one has been used and abused and showing signs of wanting to retire.

My great grandson coming to stay for the day. Nothing like a 2 1/2 year old to make you smile. (and to remind you of how old you are when you try to get down on the floor to play…well, the getting up is the hard part.)
There are many things that brighten my winter days. Be it a hug from a friend, a warm comfy sweater or a mug of yummy hot cocoa, just being able to get up out of bed and be able to enjoy all the wonderful things life has to offer puts a smile on my face even on the coldest, dreariest day.
Nothing better then hot Chili on a cold winters evening!
What brightens my day on a cold, winters day is coming inside and smelling chili or homemade chicken noodle soup cooking and just the smell alone starts warming you up. Then when you start eating the chili or soup and you continue warming up so that if you wanted to go back outside you could because you had something warm and tasty inside your belly.
hearing the song of a bird reminding me that Spring is near
A visit with my two “best girls” – my granddaughters. They can brighten the darkest day!!

What brighten my winter day is or should I say my stomach is when I cook roast, baby potatoes and carrots in the crockpot and the smell in the house just makes so comfy.
What brightens my cold winter days is the sight of my 3 children. Their warm smiles make everything so much better and these cold days seem to not be that bad at all. The words I love you Mommy make everything disappear.
Ice fishing and snow shoeing!
Nothing brightens my day more than a good beef stew cooking all day in the Crock Pot while I’m doing my yearly Clutter Clearing from my house. Knowing Dinner will be done, and no work to it helps when one is tossing out the old to be able to bring in the new.
