How hilarious was the last contest? OMG.. I PEED in my pantZ with some of the comments… I loved the “Emily you are so skinny” mantra.. as it is SO FAR FROM THE TRUTH..LOL.. But it was fun to read. I thank you all so much for participating.. it means the world to me that people care enough to take time out and actually post something. I wish it was more consistent!
Lots of stuff going on in our Splitcoast Forum (If you are not a part of that group yet, you TOTALLy should be.. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? K are you a member yet? lol) there are some PHENOM sistahs over there. There are contests, and prizes and challenges.. it is really a fun place to be!
We are even starting a book club there (the last book I read was the Friday night knitting club by Kate Jacobs.. LOOOVED it.. and will soon be reading her second book called Knit Two.. I am now reading the book Q&A.. the movie Slum Dog Millionaire was made based on this book).. We even have a crockpot recipe exchange. I am SOOOOO in love with my crockpot.. I told Ryan that if I wasn’t married to him…. LOL..Since I have started a low carb way of life (AGAIN).. it is really a handy tool and the food is YUMMALICIOUS!!
If any of you have and love your crockpot and have some amazing websites/recipes, why don’t you share? post a comment or email me or post it on splitcoast.. HOW MUCH FUN WOULD THAT BE?!

Hey Em you need to check out the book Eating for Life, great eating healthy book with some really yummy recipes. Love the Chichi flatback they are PHENOM!!
Those chichi flatbacks are too cute!!! Oh, and I love my crock pot too but am still on the hunt for good recipes!!
You crack me up! Think thin feel thin! If you want to read some good books look into some Jodi Picoult books, they are really good! My sisters keeper is a good one, and is going to be a movie this year!
I am also a crocpotaholic, I love mine. If you like 16 bean soup I make a killer one!
I also like to throw chicken in it wiht bbq sauce, let it cook all day.yUmmers!
Oh, and the flat back r cute!
Hey Em!
I love the chichi’s and these flatbacks are ADORABLE!!!!
If you haven’t read “Sarah’s Key”, I highly recommend it. A great read and eye opening at the same time.
My crockpot is my lifeline—without it I would be floating in a sea of “What’s for Dinner?”.
PULLED PORK
3/4 cup Salsa
1 whole bbq sauce (we use the low sugar kind)
1 tsp Cumin
1 Tbs Chili Powder
1 whole sliced onion
1 whole slided green peper
1 pork loin
Combine in the Crockpot on low for 8 hours or so, and then shred your meet with two forks, stir and let simmer for 30 minutes before serving
Hi Em: Love my crockpot. I gave my bro a crockpot cookbook for Christmas & he loved it. I think I should have kept it for myself. I would love some new recipes as mine are all “ho-hum”. I just finished a book called Dragon Bones by Lisa See. It was a phenomenal read. I actually finished it in the waiting room in Trudeau Airport in Montreal last Sunday – I just couldn’t put it down. Then I find out there are 2 other books in the same series – both here in the Thornhill Library.
As soon as I finish my laundry.. LOL.. I will be down to check out all the new stuff in the store.
Hi Emily, The bittybloom flat backs are sweet. Oh and may I suggest, a depends next time you read a bunch of comments, saves the pants chair floor, from da PEE LOL. You are so funny. 🙂
They are cool 😀
Holy cow – these are the CUTEST ones yet!!! I need some eye candy today – as I am totally STRESSING!!! I just found out I’m supposed to plan my 10 year med school reunion…I need retail therapy BADLY!!
I love my crockpot too! Who doesn’t love putting the food in the morning and coming home to a cooked meal. Congrats to the winner of the amazing blog candy that you gave away on Monday! Looks like I will be filling my shopping cart soon with more adorable bella and friends!

ONE of my goals for 2009 was to read more for pleasure, right now I have Manchild in the Promised Land (anthropology, very serious) and for fun I have My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult. I am also a lazy cook on the wekdays and I LOVE LOVE LOVE my crock pot. One thing I do often is cut up chicken breasts, and throw them in the crockpot with some frozen veggies, mostly the peas and carrots and maybe even some corn and add a can or two of reduced fat cream of chicken soup or cream of celery, mushroom or what ever cream soup I have and cook that together for like an hour then I throw in a few cups of browm rice and cook that with a little more milk or water for another hour or two and add a little pepper and stir it up. It is pretty good, super easy, I “make” it when I come home at lunch time and my daughter eats it, which is important.
Hi Emily: I just love reading everything you write. It is too funny – Nicky’s “serious problem” forgetting names/creating new ones. I’m looking forward to seeing all the new stuff you bought from CHA. See you soon.
PS: I have a crockput but sadly, never used. I copied the Pulled Port recipe and will try it this weekend. Bye for now.
