Crockin’ and rockin’ – that’s how we roll. As soon as those temps start to dip in the mornings and evenings, you can find us puling out the ol’ crockpot and our favorite fall recipes. There’s nothing better than coming home from a day at the office to the smell of the food that’s been cooking itself all day. And no better feeling, I might add, than not having to cook that night! Today a few gals from the LIY Team are sharing recent favorite crockpot recipes that are the perfect meal for any fall day! Did I mention we got to sample all of these the other day in the office? They are mmm mmm good!

Katy’s Granny’s Southern Roast

Arlene’s Southern Roast

There’s nothing like cozying up with roast on a chilly day. It’s simple, but don’t let it fool you – it’s delicious! This recipe is special to me because it’s from my Granny. She passed away in 2013, so using one of her recipes is a way for me to feel connected to her and keep her spirit alive. I hope you love this roast as much as I do! -Katy
