Chicken Focaccia Sandwich

Linda Larsen
After a short hiatus, it's time for The Weekend Cook to make a comeback. This weekend is going to be devoted to crockpot cooking.

I definitely think it's worth owning at least two crockpots. With removable, dishwasher-safe stoneware liners, you can have one in the dishwasher while the other is in use. For more information about crockpot cooking, see Crockpot 101. And be sure to browse through my Crockpot Recipe Box for more ideas and recipes. Have a wonderful weekend!

Friday Dinner

This super easy menu is perfect for a delicious dinner that's ready when you get home from work. If you don't want to cook rice in the crockpot, get some of that wonderful frozen rice that takes just a few minutes in the microwave to heat up to fluffy perfection.

Saturday Breakfast

Stop by the grocery store after work and pick up the ingredients for this breakfast that cooks while you sleep. And after breakfast, get dinner started in your second crockpot.

Saturday Lunch

I love these sandwiches - they taste like something from an expensive deli but are so easy to make. You can omit the avocado if you don't have one, but it really adds a lot to the sandwich experience.

Saturday Dinner

Sunday Brunch

Make this crockpot breakfast recipe before you go to bed and let it cook all night. Then, after the wonderful aromas of this hearty casserole wake you up in the morning, all you have to do is prepare the fruit.

Sunday Dinner

Ginger adds a fresh and warm flavor to tender beef cooked in the crockpot. And the salad for this meal is unusual and refreshing. This menu is a great way to end the weekend.
