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…

Vegetable Soup with Ground Beef

I think it is now heading into winter here in Southwest Michigan.  I woke up the other morning to 36 degree temperatures.  Yes, 36 degrees.  I am not ready for this.  Our summer was short on beach time because of cooler weather and now my fall is getting cut to start winter already?  No. But,…

Slow Cooker Loaded Baked Potato Soup with Chicken

I love making chicken noodle soup because it is so much better than any canned soup.  Having a gluten-free/soy-free son it is hard…
