SNOW=Crock Pot

There's nothing I love more than to throw a bunch of ingredients into a crock pot and come back 6-8 hours later and have a meal waiting for me! Love it!

And with all the snow we've been having lately I've been making some crock pot meals.

Have you heard of Gooseberry Patch Cookbooks? They're awesome!!!!

I have a few:
(They wouldn't all upload for some reason so I can only show you this one)

1 cup dy white wine or water

1/2lb. meduim shrimp, peeled and cleaned

1 t. sugar

1 t. dried basil
