107: Blending a Family: Strategies that Don’t Work
Blending isn’t the goal for stepfamilies; it suggests the family becomes one in a relational sense, which rarely occurs. Other cooking strategies that stepfamilies try, such as the instapot, food processor, or pressure cooker, don’t work well either. Then what does? Listen to Ron Deal and Gayla Grace discuss how crockpot cooking is the key.
