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…
Overnight Slow Cooker Chicken Stock
This has to be one of the best lessons I have learned using my slow cooker. My family loves chicken soup and whenever I roast a chicken during the winter I always get out my soup pot to boil the carcass and gizzard to make soup. I also buy 2-4 cartons of chicken stock every…
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…
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…
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…
Slow Cooker Sausage Breakfast Casserole
My family loves breakfast for dinner. They would like it if I made breakfast for them 3 times a day. I like breakfast foods just not as much as they do. I had a package of breakfast sausage I wanted to use so I searched for a recipe that thought everyone would like and would…
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…
Slow Cooker Cashew Chicken
As a busy mom I really try to use my slow cooker at least once each week. If you really want to use your slow cooker often I highly suggest a programmable one. That way the cooker can turn itself to keep warm or change from high to low as you need it to. My…
Sweet Little Smokie Sausages
This is not a great picture but these disappear so quickly around my house it is impossible for me to get a picture! This is the easiest appetizer to make and everyone always loves it. The pineapple bits and the little Smokies with the sweet sauce are delicious! Ingredients: 2 packages of Hillshire Little Smokies…
