For some reason that man can make anything have flavor. Look forward to seeing you in a few days darling!

I actually live in fear of doing that, so I always end up just cooking it on high for a shorter period of time and having a really late dinner, rather than leaving the crock pot on low all day. The likelihood of burning my house down just seems way too high :)

The recipe called for 3-5. So I know exactly what you mean about adding broth until it looks edible. Adventures in cooking!!

I’m both terrified of undercooking and paranoid about burning things. It’s a problem. Thanks for reading, miss Amy!

I love cooking complicated things, but give me a simple piece of chicken (or ground turkey) and all of a sudden I’m a kid without training wheels for the first time. Am I overcooking it? It can’t be done yet, right? Probably I’m going to give everyone food poisoning, right?

I only use it when I know I’m going to be adding a lot of flavor. Still, sounds delicious!

I could almost smell it from Michigan. Looking forward to trying this recipe because we had a dozen pumpkins to get rid of and I am looking for ways to cook with it. I think I might try this recipe with leftover thanksgiving turkey. ( if there is any!)

I saw a recipe for pumpkin pancakes! We are having fresh pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving! Maybe that is why your nickname is “punkun” !
