My house smells delicious! The main reason it that there's my husband's favorite three meat chili cooking in the Crock Pot. It smells even better because my husband did all of the prepping and all I had to do this morning was pop it in the slow cooker and turn it on. I did promise him that I would make him some of my gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free, corn bread - I'll try and post that tomorrow.

So tender they fall off the bone - hence the somewhat messy pic below :) The BEST Crock Pot/Slow Cooker ...
