Hi! I'm Karen from 365 Days of Slow Cooking. I'm excited to be writing a post for LDS Living's Food Dish! Just a little about me, my blog, and cookbook: One day in 2009 I randomly cooked dinner in my slow cooker, something I seldom did as I only had one slow cooker recipe. I liked the freedom that came from having dinner done early in the day and was pleased when I didn't have to fight my two cranky kids at 5 p.m. while I was trying to make dinner. I decided to keep going with the slow cooker. After seven days of slow cooked meals I rashly made the decision to cook 365 slow cooker recipes over the course of 365 days. I developed a blog to chart my progress and post the recipes, reviews and pictures. At the end of the 365 days I compiled a cookbook, which I now sell and use all the time. After my year was up I took a few weeks off and now I continue to develop new slow cooker recipes using the techniques I had learned over the year.
