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…
Cheez-It Chicken Fingers
I think everyone has seen all the variations of this recipe on Pinterest lately. You can have Pretzel Crusted Chicken Fingers, Doritos Crusted Chicken Fingers, Potato Chip Crusted Chicken Fingers and now Cheez-It Crusted Chicken Fingers. Basically any crunchy snack food you can crush you can coat your chicken with. I have always said I…
Pepperoni Pizza Stuffed Chicken
Chicken is the meat of August I guess. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts were $1.69 a pound on sale so of course I had to buy over 12 pounds of them. I never could resist a sale. For some women it is shoes, for me it is meat. So I have cut some up into chunks,…
Slow Cooker Potatoes Au Gratin with Kielbasa
This dish didn’t turn out like I expected it to at all. It was actually better than what I thought it would be! I am trying to use my slow cooker as much as I can right now. The grocery store had 2 lb. bags of frozen diced potatoes on sale this week. Of course…
Crispy Parmesan Zucchini Chips II
My daughter had a friend over for dinner last night. I asked if there was anything she didn’t like and the only answer I got was spaghetti. Well, I wasn’t going to serve that anyway so I thought I was fairly safe. But, I don’t do kid food very well. We are not a hamburger,…
Slow Cooker Hot Sandwich
When I saw this recipe on Pinterest for Crockpot Grinders from BigRedKitchen.com I was just waiting for a day that I could try it. It looked simple enough and my family loves a good sandwich. The best part was that it could be modified so that each person got exactly what they wanted in their…
Pan Fried Pork Steaks
Things are finally starting to slow down here. School will start a month from today. Boo! I love having my kids home for the summer. This is the first time they have had 12 weeks off for summer vacation. Usually we get about 7-8 but since we moved and the school year here is shorter…
German Style Pigs in the Blanket Casserole
As you can probably tell from most of my posts my favorite things to cook are casseroles, skillet dinners and slow cooker dinners. They let me mix all the ingredients together, walk away and let it cook. Yes, I enjoy the fancy dinners once in a while, but right now my family life comes first…
Slow Cooker Pork Roast
Pork has been incredibly cheap at the grocery stores lately so my family has been eating plenty of boneless pork chops, pork roasts, pork loins…. You name it we have eaten it. I am trying a different recipe each and every time we cook it. I had this huge roast in my freezer and wanted…
Easy Pad Thai
This was a recipe my son and I made together. He needed to make a recipe from a cookbook for his summer library reading program. We looked over my cookbook collection (yes, I really have a BIG collection) and he chose a Pad Thai recipe from Pinterest. Now, he mostly chose this because it sounded…
Cheeseburger Quesadilla
I realized recently that my kids are getting spoiled by my cooking. We went to a Renaissance Fair over the weekend and because my daughter was one of the “entertainers” we got a free lunch. It was very simple meal and meant to feed a large group of people. It was white bread sandwiches with…
