My personal favorite from the recipe posts there is the No Stick steel cut oats.
This is why I love the site:
"I've been on a mission: To figure out how to cook steel-cut oats overnight without losing half of them because they stick to the sides and get all crusty."
All the hard stuff has been figured out already.

Michael you inspire me everyday. I have been through such a rough year, diagnosed with cancer, and went through very painful surgery and treatments, I lost my father, my son and his wife got a divorce, I could go on, but everyday I would sign on to Pinterest and there would be a beautiful picture or an inspiring saying. Through your inspiration I have been able to think more positively and appreciate the beauty of each day!

I was going to look through a whole bunch of recipies on the 365 Days of Slow Cooking and pick the one that I thought would blow my sock off!!! Well, it didn't take long to find the one!!!! I'm so going to try the Slower Cooker BBQ Ranch Chicken!
I love, love, love using my slow cooker for dinner meals because I work 40 hours a week and have 2 children involved in sports, nightly. Any just because we're a busy family, doesn't mean we can't eat healthy!
I'm excited you are having your give aways. Congrats on your 1 million followers.
The banana bread loaf looks wonderful! I would have never thought of making it in a crock pot!
