Day 19 of "31 Days of Lor-cipes," My Christmas Gift to You

This was my very first crock pot, which worked like a champ off for more than 30 years. Quite a feat, considering how much I used it! (Its replacement works just as hard, but just between you and me, doesn't have half the personality.)

Today's family-favorite Lor-cipe, like the others chosen to lessen some of December's craziness, is sure to earn high fives from those gathered 'round your table. If you put it to the test, share a photo at my Facebook author page, and you could win a gift basket worth $100.

 

And now, let's get cookin'!
