Anyone else happy that Friday is finally here? I am ready to sit back, relax, and maybe spend some time relaxing with my husband. Well, maybe also spend some time cleaning the house as well. Let’s not focus on that right now though, shall we? Since the weather is supposed to actually be a bit warmer here this weekend (like, Spring weather), I am considering bringing Reya out and having some fun! The plan is to have one slow cooker cooking one of the recipes featured in our Chicken Slow Cooker Round Up, and a dessert dish cooking in the second slow cooker.
What, you hadn’t considered making desserts in your slow cooker? Don’t worry, I didn’t for a long time either. You can make just about anything in your slow cooker – cakes, breads, and some delightful cobblers! Since I love making desserts in my slow cooker, I thought I would share with you some of my favorite dessert slow cooker recipes! Hopefully you will like them just as much as my family!
