Rise and Shine is my way of starting the day with you – almost as if we’re chatting over a hot cup of coffee or tea! I share my favorite deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help you save time, money or energy. Published in the morning on Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! Welcome to Tuesday. . .how is your day going so far? Things are going pretty well around here. Yesterday I mentioned I got my washer and dryer delivered. All the laundry is washed and I’m delighted. The verdict is still out on my dryer, it seems like it takes forever to dry loads (60-80 min?) but I wonder if it’s because the washer is a higher capacity and so the loads are much bigger than I’ve done in the past? Not sure. . .
Last night my kids took a cooking class at the local community center. The theme was “after school snacks” and they had so much fun. They were stuffed when I picked them up and had a cool recipe book with some of the things they tried (like garbanzo bean faux cookie dough!?!). This is the type of stuff that we missed out on being on the road. I’m trying to slowly add in things like this without overscheduling us, you know?!
For dinner tonight I’m making this Crockpot Slow Cooker Pot Roast (Mississippi roast recipe), I haven’t made it in ages but picked up some roasts from Zaycon Fresh this past weekend that look really wonderful. This recipe is so easy. Really. And the meat is super flavorful. Find recipe for Crockpot Slow Cooker Pot Roast (Mississippi roast recipe) here.

Your dryer times sound like mine. I agree with your thinking that the higher capacity washer makes the dryer times longer.
Angela Glorioso says
A typical dry cycle for my dryer is 60-70 mins, although I usually run it on medium, not hot. If I have a big load, I use hot, and it’s usually the same time. My dryer is pretty old though…
