As we mentioned, we love our warm meals—and we kind of have to. With winter lasting nearly half the year here in Maine, staying warm becomes a top priority. One of the best ways to do that is with a hearty crockpot meal. It’s simple, comforting, and fills the house with a cozy aroma that makes those cold days more bearable.
