Crock Pot Sweet Potato and Corn Chowder

She recommends serving it with tortilla chips or corn bread. Using an immersion blender can really change a soup from drab to fab by altering the consistency to be […]

Crock Pot Spicy Applesauce
Posted on by Valerie in Appetizer, Breakfast, Dinner, Recipes, Side dishes, vegetarian.Ok fans, let me put it this way…. my dad dubbed this “ass-kickin’ applesauce” and he’s a respectable man. It’s spicy and tangy and might tingle your tongue a little (especially if you use the full 1/2 t. of cayenne pepper); but this dish is also flavorful in ways that normal applesauce or apple butter […]

Crock Pot Noodle Kugel
Posted on by Valerie in Appetizer, Breakfast, Dinner, Recipes, Side dishes.This is one of my favorite foods from my experience with Jewish holidays. This casserole is sweet and dense with a wonderful warmth of cinnamon and vanilla. The noodles are soft and bound with the creamy egg filling. But my favorite taste is the plump raisins that swell with flavor and are a great contrast to the texture […]

Posted on by Valerie in Appetizer, Dinner, Recipes, Side dishes.Tonight is open house at my son’s school and the timing makes dinner as a family tough.

Crock Pot Tortellini Soup
Posted on by Valerie in Appetizer, Dinner, Recipes, Side dishes, vegetarian.The title of this recipe is a lie. This isn’t a soup. But it’s not a stew and it’s not just a pasta main course, so I don’t know what else to call it. Technically, it does have broth in it, so therefore I qualify it as a soup. And since it’s my blog, I […]
