Tangy Slow Cooker Pork Tacos: Cook Once, Eat Twice!

Using leftovers from the Tangy Slow Cooker Pork Roast I made on Tuesday I was able to have dinner on the table in 20 minutes last night!  The pork roast was delicious but letting the leftovers soak overnight in the extra sauce and then heating it up made it even tastier! The recipe for the…

Tangy Slow Cooker Pork Roast: Cook Once, Eat Twice!

I had a beautiful pork roast to cook the other night.  It was a To-Go meal night and I had two meeting to attend before getting everyone in the car to go to dance classes.  I needed something super easy and flavorful.  I found the recipe for a Pork Roast Supper at Muffy Martini.com that…

Spicy One Pot Sausage Soup

I needed a quick dish for dinner last night.  I didn’t even start cooking until 6:00 pm.  I had one pound of Italian sausage thawed in the refrigerator and needed to come up with something easy that would be on the table within half an hour.  Sausage soup! Verdict: This dish had tons of flavor,…

Slow Cooker Maple Dijon Pork Chops

I love the open slow cooker put stuff in and have dinner waiting when you come home dishes.  This dish actually takes about 10 minutes of preparation before putting it into the slow cooker.  It is so worth it though.  The delicious pork is tender and has a great flavor from the onions cooked in…

Slow Cooker Sweet and Spicy Pork

Back to the slow cooker!  I love recipes that I can just dump some ingredients in my slow cooker in the morning and at dinner time have dinner 90% done before I even walk in the door. A few people have asked about my slow cooker.  I use a 6 qt.  Set it & Forget…

German Skillet Dinner

I have been thinking about this dish all night.  I am so excited to share it with you.  I am not sure if it because my daughter helped me with creating it or because it is such a great dish for October.  We sort of invented our version of the skillet dinner by playing with…

Cheesy Wild Rice Casserole

This didn’t get posted yesterday because I had food poisoning.  I couldn’t believe it.  I still can’t.  I knew when I looked at the words someone used to search my blog and saw Barbecue Beef Cowboy Casserole and started getting sick again there was no way I was doing anything with food. We went to…

Slow Cooker Cheddar, Ale & Bratwurst Soup

I just read the title of this recipe and knew I had to try it.  Slow cooker, cheese, ale and bratwurst – all the wonderful things of life.  That this dish is made in a slow cooker just makes me so happy! I found the original recipe for Slow Cooker Cheddar Ale and Bratwurst Soup…

Caramelized Onion, Bacon and Cheese Crustless Quiche

I love weekends!  Sleeping in, lazy days spent with the family and late dinners happen most weekends.  I LOVE bacon.  But, I am not a fan of cooking it first thing in the morning.  The smell makes me feel nauseated.  My children will tell you they very rarely get bacon for breakfast.  I don’t mind…

Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Pork Roast

Yes, another slow cooker day for me.  I am so glad I did this too.  Today was a struggle with school day for both of my children.  So, I spent most of the day on the phone, e-mailing and trouble shooting computer issues.  By the time 4:00 pm rolled around and we needed to leave…

Slow Cooker Pineapple Teriyaki Pork Chops

This has been an amazing weekend.  A Feis in Muskegon, Michigan and a day of relaxation with a bit of cider tasting thrown in. We saw a full rainbow on the way to Muskegon.  It was amazing.  The kids were saying how long it has been since they had seen one so full and bright. …

Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin

Sometimes bacon can just make everything better.  In our family we believe in the power of bacon.  I haven’t tried chocolate bacon, bacon doughnuts or bacon cupcakes yet but believe me they are on my radar.  But, we LOVE bacon.  We all needed some healing power from bacon after a busy week. Whole boneless pork…
