We had a pretty low-key Memorial Day weekend. We didn't attend any cookouts nor did we host one of our own. However, my mother-in-law came up to visit, so I made a simple cookout inspired meal to celebrate the holiday. The menu included BBQ Pulled Chicken, Baked Beans, and Potato Salad. I prepared the chicken using my new love...my slow cooker! The chicken was so moist and tender and the best part is I wasn't in the kitchen all day preparing it! My mother-in-law liked it, so I think my mission was accomplished. =)

DH and I received a slow cooker as one of our wedding gifts. Well a couple weekends ago, I pulled it out and used it for the first time and let me just say, I'm in love! It's the best thing ever to be able to put all your ingredients in there, set the heat and time and forget about it! I made a delicious roast beef with potatoes and carrots. Here's how it turned out...
In addition to the roast and potatoes and carrots, I prepared some green beens and mac and cheese. It turned out to be a great combo of some comfort food favs.
