"My best friend Lauren gave me this recipe and I changed a couple of things to suit my tastes. It gets so crispy and delicious if you make it in the crockpot. Just follow the same directions except set crockpot to low for a couple hours and you can turn it to high for a little while to get the sides crispy. I love lots of cheese and this recipe definitely satisfies my craving!!"

I love to cook! I'm constantly paging through cooking magazines and looking up new recipes online. I'll often take a recipe and make changes to give it my own personal touch. I love experimenting with different foods and ingredients. I travel 750 miles per week for work so meals that are fast, easy, and delicious are very important to me. I enjoy hosting and attending Tastefully Simple parties and plan on becoming a consultant by the end of the year. My wonderful boyfriend is my number one guinea pig, although he's not complaining :)
