Crock Pot Vegetarian Bean Dip
Posted on by Valerie in Recipes, Side dishes.We’re going to a party this weekend and everyone is supposed to bring a side dish to go with a taco bar main course.

Crock Pot Fish Chowder
Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes, Side dishes.This recipe has evolved from an amazing chowder that I once had at the Columbus International Festival in Ohio. I think it was the Scandanavian table that was honoring their long-standing countrymen’s careers of treacherous trips on the ocean. I think it was really to honor the countrywomen’s careers of having boatloads of fish to […]

Crock Pot Potato Soup
Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes, Side dishes.My 93-year-old grandmother-in-law was visiting last week and the woman is amazing. She is clear minded and sound of body.

Crock Pot Shrimp and Grits
Posted on by Valerie in Breakfast, Dinner, Recipes, Side dishes.Anytime I make shrimp, I always feel the need to call everyone “Bubba” and watch a repeat of Forrest Gump. I love the scene where Bubba lists off “shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, […]

Crock Pot Pomme de Tara
Posted on by Valerie in Breakfast, Dinner, Recipes, Side dishes.A friend of mine wants to use her crock pot more, but has an allergy to tomatoes. After doing a little research, I agreed with her– most crock pot recipes seem to have some sort of tomato or tomato-based product in them! It is an injustice that my friend should not be able to embrace […]
