Because We Love You

Because Valentine’s Day is around the corner and because–while some of us have our own sweethearts and some of us don’t—we love our slow cookers and our Facebook and blog community very much, we’re giving away a Hamilton Beach 5½-Quart Slow Cooker and a full set of the Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbooks to one (1) lucky, random winner!
The best feature of the Hamilton Beach 5½-Quart Slow Cooker is that the removable stainless steel crock is stovetop safe. That means you can brown meat or onions and garlic in this crock right on the stove and then place the crock straight into the slow cooker! Anything that cuts back on the pots and pans we need to wash is just fine with us.
It also has a stainless steel exterior, a glass lid, and a warm setting that keeps food nice and hot without overcooking it.
And if you need a few ideas of what to make in that shiny new slow cooker, we’re giving away the entire Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook series along with it. That’s 7 books in all! The series includes:
1) Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook Revised and Updated
2) Fix-It and Forget-It Lightly Revised and Updated
3) Fix-It and Forget-It 5-Ingredient Favorites
4) Fix-it and Forget-It Christmas Cookbook
5) Fix-It and Forget-It Diabetic Cookbook
6) Fix-It and Forget-It Kids’ Cookbook
7) Fix-It and Forget-It Big Cookbook.
Phyllis will autograph them and even personalize them, if you wish.
(Hamilton Beach doesn’t know how much we love you or that we’re celebrating you by giving away one of their nifty slow cookers.)

It used to be my electric skillet when I first got married. I did not like my crockpot much because you could not remove the crock back then.

One of the best gifts I have ever received was to be a finalist in a makeover contest. I received a fabulous makeover and rejuvenated me. However, the gift was not the makeover it was the letter my husband sent in nominating me for the contest. It showed me that he really does notice the sacrifices I make to ensure that our boys have a good home and everything they need.
My family. We have been through some really rough times (especially when we lost my dad) but with God and family ….. life is good. So blessed.
