Slow Cooking Thursday!!!

Welcome to my weekly Crockpot Recipes Exchange. It's such a great way to share your favorite dishes or to learn some new ones to make for your family.

What do you think??? Do You have some great recipes to share, or perhaps you're looking for some delicious ones to give you a reason to pull out the ol' crockpot???

Time to pull out those crockpots and put them to good use. If you want to join in, just grab the banner and add your name to Mr Linky :)

For today I picked the theme "Breakfast", so I'm going to share with you a couple of breakfast recipes that you can fix in your crockpot, I mean imagine throwing everything in there, turning it on and waking up to wonderful yummy breakfast.

I've decided to shake things up a bit so I'm thinking that starting next week, I'll give you a theme and you can share your recipes....like today it was Breakfast, then next week we'll do Crockpot Desserts so you can all gather your recipes in time. Now it doesn't mean you can't continue sharing your normal recipes, but just add an extra one to go with the theme....what do you think????

If it's something you guys aren't interested in then no biggie, we won't do it LOL
