Ever have a meal in the crockpot cooking all day that makes your house smell amazing? Or maybe you have had one that makes your house stink for days.  I have had both, but more recently we tried a crockpot curry meal where I couldn't get the stink out of my kitchen for what seemed liked forever.  No matter what, the crockpot either makes a home smell delicious or smell disgusting.

Crockpots are awesome for their convenience and for the little amount of power they use.  This was a perfect combination for what I thought would be the perfect air freshener cooker.

  
I simply combine delicious ingredients, including wonderful essential oils, in my crockpot and my home begins to smell amazing in no time at all.  As the water cooks away I simply add a little more to it.  Sometimes I leave it covered, but I also take the lid off from time to time to release even more of the wonderful fragrance.  Plus the ingredients are all natural which is a huge plus to me!

Here are a few recipes that I have concocted and am so very happy to share with you.  I have even named the smells... get excited!
