Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas over Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Even in summer I love my slow cooker.  I am still trying to use it at least 2-3 days a week to avoid having to think too much about dinner. I met several people at The Disney Social Media Moms Conference in Chicago last week who when I told them about my blog gave me…

Slow Cooker Chicken Cheesesteak

I have been reading quite a few blogs lately and some of them scare me a bit.  I am a bad mom.  I didn’t know it before I read all these blogs.  I let my children eat candy.  I don’t buy organic vegetables.  I don’t check their homework every night.  I may be negligent because…

Slow Cooker Moroccan Chicken

Ever have one of those days?  Well, this is it for me. After dance class last night I came home and we had dinner, helped the kids with their homework, took a ride down by the beach to watch the sunset.  It was a really great evening. This morning I get up and can’t find…

Slow Cooker Sweet and Savory Boneless Pork Chops Meal

Last night I needed a meal that would be ready after my son’s musical program at school.  I knew we would not have enough time for a real meal beforehand so I wanted it to be ready at 6:30 pm.  I just wanted to add a salad and be ready to sit at the table…

Slow Cooker Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteaks

Slow Cooker Chicken and Stuffing

Back to school and after school practices and meetings.  The last six weeks of school is going to be crazy.  My daughter is adding another day of dance in Kalamazoo, MI which means another hour drive each way.  I love that we can do this but three-four days a week in the evenings are tough. …

We are still in full comfort food mode so for dinner last night I started with a recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff from Allrecipes.com. I knew I would have to a bit of changing to the recipe for my family.   The first change I made was substituting chicken stock for butter.  I didn’t want…

Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner

Last night our St. Patrick’s Day dinner was the usual Corned Beef and Cabbage.  Because my daughter is an Irish dancer we were in schools and senior housing complexes most of the day.  I love using my slow cooker for Corned Beef.  It always ends up fall apart moist and delicious. Verdict: Since there wasn’t…

Slow Cooker Jambalaya

Most of my dinner photographs are pretty awful.  I am not a photographer.  This has to be one of the worst pictures I have ever posted.  This was taken after dinner when I realized I forgot to take a picture and there was just a little bit of Jambalaya left in the bottom of the…
