  Crock Pot Split Pea Soup (Vegetarian)

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes, Side dishes, vegetarian.

  I don’t usually put specific tags in the titles of my posts, but I think it’s really important on this one. It should really say… Crock Pot Split Pea Soup  #noham but still #tastesyummy! Haha. I made those up. So this soup is hearty and delicious and still has a great smoky flavor, but doesn’t include […]

  Crock Pot Cream of Celery and Leek Soup

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes, Side dishes, vegetarian.

  Most weeks, I have a game plan for all of our meals and a grocery list to organize my trip. I know which nights will be crockpot meals, which nights will be leftovers, and I even anticipate which nights I’ll probably be too tired to cook! But I started this week a day too late. […]

• Crock Pot Cincinnati Chili

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.

  If you are unfamiliar with Cincinnati chili, let me explain to you how this is different from what you might think. This is more like a spaghetti sauce, than a stew. It usually has some combination of allspice, cinnamon and sometimes cocoa powder in it. There are no beans cooked in this pot and it is […]

• Crock Pot Chicken and Quinoa

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes, Side dishes.

  This is great sick food. Not food that will make you sick, but a food that falls into the same category as matzah ball soup, egg drop soup and homemade mashed potatoes– these foods all make you feel better! I’ll warn you that this dish is very bland, so if you’d like to eat it […]

• 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 Vegetarian Lentil Soup

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes, Side dishes, vegetarian.

  There used to be this great Greek restaurant that I frequented that served lentil soup in a styrofoam cup. It was always hot and fresh and the lentils were soft without being mushy. I would frame my entire meal around saving room and money for the soup.  This recipe mirrors the flavors and warmth of the […]

• Crock Pot Vegetarian Vegetable Soup

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes, Side dishes, vegetarian.

  I love these days that are halfway between winter and spring.  I’m pretty sure by mid-afternoon I’m going to be suffocating in whatever I decided to wear because I was in fear of getting cold when I got dressed in the morning. Yeah, I think it’s one of those days. Any day that starts with […]

• Crock Pot Beef Stew

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.

  Last night I used my foodie knowledge to help a friend through a stressful moment. I described my love affair with Trader Joe’s grocery store in such detail that she learned about my secret ongoing shopping list, what each item is that I crave and how I use one dish, three ways. By the end […]
