My friend Brian (who is basically the king of good book
recommendations) set out to have me read STATUS UPDATE a little while ago. When I won
his Twitter giveaway, this was the first one I set out to read. What a way to begin. I mean, really,
y’all—I’m swooning. This book is about two guys who’ve got some issues on the
relationship front, as well as some personal problems to work out. Luckily,
they meet through their adorable mutts. When Adrian’s latest relationship
fails, Noah decides to help this poor fellow out. Of course, we can’t just
leave it there. Sparks fly.
In this darling book, which is my favorite of the three I’ve
read by the author, Noah has a bit of an obsession with crock pot meals (we
learn later the significance of said crock pot). I’ve decided to put together
this little post to share some crock pot meals from the ever-glorious
Pinterest. Two I’ve tried, and the other, well, I really, really want to.
First up is the recipe I have not tried yet…crock pot beef
stew! These two males are stuck in this trailer in the cold of winter.
Snow, cute as heck dogs. They’re hungry (I don’t mean just for each other) and
I think this stew would have warmed them hair to hide. For me, a crock pot
roast is the ultimate comfort food. Salt, pepper, chunks of beef and carrots.
Not too many things that I could eat every week for the rest of my life. This
recipe takes it up a notch a bit in terms of what to do, but I think that these
guys would go an extra mile for the other, to make sure they’re all warm and
cozy and full for the winter nights.
Next, let’s talk about the wonders of crock
pot hot chocolate. I mean, yuuuummmmy. Sweetened condensed milk? Chocolate
chips? Lord have mercy. Wake up in
the morning to the rich brew that’s been cooking all night? That, my darlings, that is the life. And
it’s gluten-free, just like the beef stew! So Adrian can have it without any
issues. Isn’t Noah just super caring? (I know, I’m swooning too. What a catch.)
Finally, we’ve got ourselves something super delicious. I
actually made with at the dorm for Sunday dinner. What am I talking about? Crock
pot chicken gnocci soup. Ugh. So good. Again. It’s winter. Gnocci is so
dang delicious. Chicken is also nice. Warmth. Hot guy. I mean—what? Either way,
you can’t go wrong with soup on a cold day.
