What I do is if I like a recipe I ripe it out and put it in the crock pot book to keep it or make a copy and put it in there. I have a book that is swelling with recipes! I do want to get a keto book as I have been having to eat this way for over two months for the surgery in August.

I've also found that there are enough recipes online that I don't get much out of most cookbooks. If I could find one where I can really trust all the recipes will be good and easy, that would be awesome, but short of that, I'd rather search online.DoingDeweyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902496432225294188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130637022613050517.post-3227866972209617422019-05-29T08:06:54.574-04:002019-05-29T08:06:54.574-04:00Thanks, Jennifer!

If it takes any longer than that, it's just not worth it (at least not at this point in my life). I can't spend that much time in the kitchen when I have three little monsters running around, and nap time is when I get housework done.
