Yummy, yummy, yummy I’ve got love in my tummy

I’ve been having an illicit love affair with food lately. It started this summer after I finished grad school and actually had time to cook again. Because of the South Beach Diet, I learned how to cook fish and feel head over heels for orange ruffie

Orange ruffie is my mother's absolute favorite fish. It's so good!

I have several crockpot recipes I'd more than highly recommend. If I remember I will scan them and email them to you this weekend. I don't have them typed up. Some are mine/my husband's, but some are time-tested recipes from my MIL, who cooks only slightly healthier than her mother did when they lived on the farm in VT growing up. :D Off the top of my head, they include:
-chili con carne
-chicken and biscuits
-basic pot roast

Those all sound great! I would really appreciate it if you'd be willing to take the time to send them to me.

We made chicken and biscuits tonight and it reminded me of you! I have earmarked all of the recipes, but alas this computer I'm now using (post job) needs to have full Adobe installed before I can PDF them. It might take me a week or so, but I'll get them all scanned in for you or I'll go ahead and type them up one night at a time! I haven't forgotten. :)

It's a crock pot. They are really nice, especially for students. The only thing is you have to plan ahead.

And you can cheat on the recipe. I use pre-peeled baby carrots, frozen skinless-boneless chicken, and frozen chopped green peppers and onions from Kroger a lot of the time.
