Love crockpot recipes! Thank you to Real Simple mag for your recipe inspirations! This one is a crowd pleaser... My dear friend Tina loved this recipe! :) ** Slow cooker tip: Never lift the lid once you've started. Each time you "sneek a peak" you add 30 minutes of cooking time! Sheesh!

About Princess Hotcakes

After recently becoming obsessed with following blogs of various topics (healthy living, stepmother experiences, art/photography,etc.) I decided to venture out on a limb and start my own. Status updates on a social networking website just isn’t cutting it anymore! What’s my angle? I hope to provide a glimpse into the life of a 20-something who lives, works, shops, and eats in Portland. I have such an admiration for this city and I can’t wait to share it.
