The task of cooking for a large crowd can often be extremely daunting!  If you put your slow cookers to use, you can take a lot of stress out of your hosting duties!!!!  Even if you're not hosting, and you're traveling to several parties (like I am,) take your slow cooker along with you to keep your side dish warm.  

By utilizing your slow cookers, you can save your precious oven space for the large items (like a huge turkey or ham) or for those super yummy pies!  I remember my holiday gatherings growing up, where we had to cook everything in shifts because the turkey or ham was in the oven.  Because of this, half our dinner was cold when we went to eat.  This won't happen to you any longer!  

I've put together a list of Main Dishes, Side Dishes, Desserts, Beverages and even Leftover Recipes for you to use the Holiday Season!

From my family to yours, Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanzaa and Happy New Year!
