It is that time of year…the holidays are upon us.
I know a lot of you are planning out menus for family dinners, parties and gatherings. While the slow cooker isn’t always the first thing you think about when planning a meal it should be! While you are busy making your huge meal you can let your slow cooker take over one of the dishes. Whether that is a side dish, the main dish or a festive drink, you don’t have to do any of the work!

Thank you so much for including my pumpkin coffee cake! I had never thought to use a slow cooker for a holiday dish until this year, but boy... If I could make the entire Thanksgiving feast in a slow cooker, I'd definitely try! Although with how many side dishes and desserts we make, I might need an army of them... ;)
