Slow Cookin’ Carnitas

Two reasons why I love using my Slow Cooker in the summer: 1) It does not heat up the house and 2) I can stay out and play as long as I’d like and come home to a hot meal.  One other thing I love in the summer, (well, really all year long) TACOS!  Have [...]

Beef, Beer & Barley Stew

Beef, Beer & Barley Stew

Just saying the words, “Beef, Beer, & Barley” makes me think of a Kevin Fowler song (Beer, Bait, & Ammo).  It’s probably what made me break out the Shiner Bock to enjoy with it! This recipe is perfect for the wet, rainy weather we are having in San Diego tonight. You can do this on [...]

Slow Cooking Monday & Delicious Cookies!

Slow Cooking Monday & Delicious Cookies!

This is a quickie, because it’s late and honestly these aren’t my recipes.  :) Today, I threw together jambalaya in my crockpot (the house smells wonderful now), whipped up Marie Callender’s Cornbread (so simple and tasty why fuss with making it from scratch?), and these fabulous Orange Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies (with some minor adjustments).  My [...]

Drunk Beef Stew

Drunk Beef Stew

Who doesn’t love to come home to the smell of dinner already prepared?  You don’t need a personal chef to do that, instead opt for a Crockpot!  I am in the midst of my graduate finals for the semester, and the last thing I have time to do is whip up a fancy dinner for [...]

Curl Up with a Warm Bowl of Corn Chowder

Curl Up with a Warm Bowl of Corn Chowder

When you walk in the door and have the smells of dinner dance on your tongue you know you can sit back and relax.  A slow-cooker (aka CrockPot) gives you the ability to kick off your shoes, scoop up a big bowl of something warm, and relax after a long work day.  Tonight is corn [...]

Break Out the Chili Beans!

Break Out the Chili Beans!

The fall just doesn’t seem fall-like without a pot of chili brewing in the Crock Pot. For my first weekend home in the past 6 weekends I have decided to whip up my favorite pot of chili and break in the fall with style. My recipe comes to you without any bells nor whistles, but [...]

Cheesey Broccoli & Cauliflower Soup

Cheesey Broccoli & Cauliflower Soup

I lied! Just when I thought I could get away I decided that my recipe tonight needed to be shared. Earlier this week I had prepared steamed broccoli & cauliflower, but of course eating for one these days leaves a lot of leftovers so I needed something else to prepare. While walking through the aisles [...]

Crock Pot Gumbo for Brooke!

Crock Pot Gumbo for Brooke!

Is it easy? Yes, Brooke, it’s easy, but be sure not to cook for yourself on your birthday! ;o) On any given busy day I often opt to pull out the CrockPot (aka Slow Cooker). Today we were over 90*F (hot for us), and the last thing I needed to do was turn on my [...]

Inverted Shepherd’s Pie–Quick & Easy!

Inverted Shepherd’s Pie–Quick & Easy!

As a military spouse I often find myself dining alone; thus, I am always trying to muster up the excitement to eat alone. I know it’s easier to pick something up, but it’s definitely not healthier in the long run nor kind on a bank account. With that said, I often break out my Crockpot [...]

Ladle Up Some Curry…Butternut Style

An absolute favorite winter vegetable of mine is butternut squash. It’s golden flesh just begs to be blended with savory flavors! When the mood strikes I may combine it with sage and chopped pancetta…..apples and maple…..rosemary and garlic…..or CURRY! Slicing and dicing a butternut squash can be a challenge without a little muscle behind it, [...]
