I’ve read different opinions on preheating crock pots.

IF you put hot food in a cold crock pot, such as chili, does it cool down the food or does the crock pot get hot fast enough not to change the food temperature?

What do you do when you put hot food in a crock pot?

What spice(s) or spice blends do you use the most?

Is there some spice you use almost every day?

Do you always measure before adding or eyeball it?

So what do you recall from your school lunches?  Just ran across this recipe at Pinterest and am sure it needs to be tried...when DH isn't around.  I loved these things if this is the right recipe.  Somewhere I have the one from our school cafeteria that makes a ton, but I had cut down that recipe too.  The other thing I loved was the Shepherd's Pie.  Other kids hated it and would pile it onto Read more [...]

Hi Folks,  Does anyone have a great recipe for cherry pie filling?  I will be used jarred sour cherries and would like the filling to have very little jelly when all is said and done.  I will be using it to make a chocolate cake for my son’s birthday.  He wants a Black Forest cake so the filling can’t have too much jelly in it as it will saturate the cake.  Thanks to all who reply.
