I love my crockpot! Almost as much as my food processor if that’s even possible?? This looks great, Christin!
Thanks Ari! I broke my food processor months ago and have yet to replace it 🙁 It was given to me many years ago as a wedding present and I have no idea how much they cost now and don’t think I want to know.
