I dropped my crock last year and haven’t been able to afford a new one yet. The closer we get to cold weather, the more I’m thinking I need to get a new one. These look fantastic! I’ve never made one of these recipes that hasn’t turned out fantastic!
Are there any thrift stores near you? Only thrift store I’ve ever gone into that didn’t have a single slow cooker was one that only took in furniture.
Maybe there will be a Black Friday sale for one at a good price. Or better yet, put it on your Christmas list. 😊
@jenniferhansen3622 you can look that up. Whenever I’m considering buying an appliance from a thrift store, I look it up on my phone before putting it in my cart/basket. Same thing for looking up reviews.
They are usually on Black Friday sales. Think how much you’ll save on takeout!
Just bought a nice new one,
7 qt for $40. At Walmart.
Our 4 qt. Broke recently. It was a cheaper one.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner so I really needed these side dishes.👍
I love you 😂😂😂 CROCK POT BABY!!!
Love your recipes and tips!!
I love the idea of making stuffing in the crockpot! Why didn’t I ever think of that? 🤦♀️
I’ve done it in the crockpot and it was good.
I tried it last year, was delicious
Just the bonus of keeping everything hot is so cool!
What a wonderful video! Recipes look delicious, ideas to keep the kitchen cool, and all in crockpots! 🙏🏻❤️
I like to cook my stuffing ingredients in a saute pan and then transfer everything to the crockpot to cook for the rest of the day. I also cook the potatoes on the stove and then mash in another crockpot and keep on warm until we eat. I love being able to use the crockpots, put them out on the buffet table, and serving straight from there. It’s the best hack ever!
Thank you Nicole for these nice side dishes in crockpots for holiday dinners.
Please ignore the whiners and complainers.
People just enjoy nitpicking others now days.
Sad people.
“Don’t be scared of butter.”❤❤❤
Butter makes EVERYTHING better 🙂
I’ve got to stop watching you when I’m hungry! Now I want the whole spread. 🙂
Thank you!
Just made my gravy and cornbread stuffing and put them in the freezer
Thank you for the delicious recipes. I need to use my crockpot more often.
I have 3 large crock-pots. I’m gonna win this Thanksgiving: everything is going in the pot!
Wow, most ppl barely own one😂
Off to the store to get two more slow cookers!
Problem is only use 1-2 xs a year
Yayyyyy this is perfect for me ❤ thanks, Nicole ❤❤
The voice from behind the camera during the mashed potato segment cracked me up! “I mean…”
Lucky cameraman is undoubtedly well fed 😊
Do not misconstrue her message about thinking you need to buy several crockpots. It’s called cooking ahead and making it easier for you to do each dish!!!🤭It’s about possibilities to make it easier without heating up your kitchen, it’s about maybe your kitchen is small or perhaps your oven isn’t working, etc. Possibilities everyone! Thank God this woman is creative and thinking out of the box. She’s wonderful and smart or you wouldn’t be watching. Thanks Nicole!!! Many many more get it, I know I do! Kudos for your ideas! You make it “fool” proof…..no pun intended!😝
Faithful Canadian viewer here, I get plenty of good tips, but I am always amazed at the sugar and canned soups that go into so many recipes.
Not all of us use canned soups! We use broth and seasonings instead..
Yes! Why canned soup in dressing???
Very inspiring!
