We Love Sides!

Crock Pots are not just for main dishes. Soup and salad make great sides, but sometimes you want something a bit more warm, cozy, and filling. I have an entire list of crockpot recipes that I love to make! From green beans to mac and cheese, you can make a variety of side dishes in the slow cooker.
