TNT Crock Pot Recipes

Normally I save my crock pot for Sunday cooking because I can put something together before church and it is almost ready by the time we get home.

However since temperatures are now normally above 97 daily I am relying on my crock pot more and more. I truly enjoy using my crock pot however it has been a challenge, at least for me, to find tasty recipes. So... I thought I would share a few of my favorites with you all. If you have a favorite feel free to share it or leave a link to it.

Our Family favorite is Sticky Chicken
