We all eat dinner together just about every night. Four to five nights each week we eat at the table and then the other two are usually our “To-Go” meals in the car. I am trying to instill good table manners such as please, thank you, please pass the … , use your fork and…

Trisha Yearwood’s Slow Cooker Pork Loin
I pinned this recipe for Trisha Yearwood’s Slow Cooker Pork Loin from Bo’s Bowl.com a few weeks ago. I was waiting for the night that someone pulled pork loin from the freezer for dinner. Last night was the night. Verdict: The pork loin was okay but a bit ordinary. The gravy is the reason to…
Slow Cooker Bottom Round Steak
So last night’s dinner was not a casserole. I found a really great deal on Bottom Round Steak at the local grocery store that I just could not pass up. When I got it home I realized I had no idea how to cook it. It was about 2 1/2″ thick and had a fairly…
Slow Cooker German Style Beef Roast
I had another beef roast in the freezer. The first thing I thought was “Oh no, not again.” It seems we have a beef roast lately at least once a week and I was running out of ideas of what to do with it to make into a different meal for my family. Well, back…
Slow Cooker Chinese Pork and Broccoli
I am working on cleaning out our freezers for the big Thanksgiving/Christmas baking season. I have pretty much cleaned out the refrigerator of all the stray items but still need to work on the freezer. I had four fairly large thick pork chops that I found in my freezer that needed to be used. I…
Slow Cooker Hungarian Goulash
My slow cooker has been working over time lately. I love that I can put a bunch of stuff in it early in the morning and then not have to think about dinner until I come home or I am getting the kids ready for our to go meals. I found this recipe on Pinterest…
Balsamic Onion Slow Cooker Roast
Last night being Halloween I wanted something extra easy to have for dinner. This was it! I took our favorite flavors and blended them with a beef roast in the slow cooker. I only had to add mashed potatoes and carrots for our comfort food dinner before heading out on the spooky, cold evening. Verdict:…
Slow Cooker Chicken Gyros
My 200th post. I thought it would be something spectacular like boeuf bourguignon or something. Definitely not a chicken dish. But, it has been a long, strange journey for me and my family over the last 20 months. Moving twice in one year (don’t recommend it) threw a monkey wrench into everything, but despite two…
Slow Cooker Balsamic Drunken Chicken
It is tax season in our house. That means that my other half is gone from 7 am to about 10 or 11 pm just about every day, including most weekends. Life goes on. There are still lessons for the kids, school meetings and parties, etc…. But, towards the end of this 3 month…
Slow Cooker Cola Beef Roast
School starts in a week. I am one of those moms who hate to see her kids go back to school. It means the beginning of schedules and classes, homework and Fall. Sigh. Slowly I see my food changing over to fall comfort food as the weather begins to change. My slow cooker sits on…
Slow Cooker Creamy Tortellini
I LOVE my slow cooker. I use it as much as possible and am always scouring the web for new recipes. This recipe is a mixture of several different recipes. I wanted something creamy but not soup, which was most of the slow cooker recipes using tortellini, and no meat. So, I tried this. It…
Slow Cooker Pineapple Chicken over Wild Rice
I have passed over this recipe for Crockpot Pineapple Chicken on Pinterest at least one hundred times. I kept thinking how can this be good? There is nothing in it. Sure, it looked easy but … would it be tasty? Finally I had to give it a try. I needed a quick easy dinner and…
