Read your crockpot instructions The locks on the lid are for travel only. It’s very dangerous to cook with the lot with the locks on.
I love all your recipes!! However, be careful with locking the crockpot lid. It’s only meant to be locked during transporting to another location, not while cooking!
Just found this lady last night and I think this is gonna be fun following her! Keeps it simple and easy to understand but delicious and smart. Thanks girl!
You know, last night? I watched video from the bottom of the go and you started in with the locked and locked the thing period I know you know better because I've read other people in the comments telling you that you cannot and are not supposed to cook with a lot. If you read your book, it tells you somebody could get seriously hurt. Period I would hope you would care enough about your subscribers to correct yourself
This womem makes more money than most of you combined. She is a professional. You are learning from her. Yall need yo calm the f down and stop telling the chef how to use her equipment.

Wow, girl this is GREAT, can not wait to try, keep it coming. You're Wonderful. Thanks
All the recipes look great! I can't wait to try.
Hidden valley ranch seasoning packet has 270 mg of sodium per teaspoon! According the American heart association, max level of sodium per day for adults is 2,300 ir 1,500 for better heart health. Most Americans consume 3,400 per day on average. Maybe make a homemade spice mix with a healthier amount of salt.
New to your channel… honest question… I noticed that you used the locks for regular cooking. Is that what it’s used for? I always thought that was for traveling to a pot luck 😮 learn something new every day 😊
I can see where it would work to put that butter and garlic in the little food processor real quick and – mmm
