• 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. She might not win the race, but she will definitely reach the finish line.

• Crock Pot Beef Stew

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.
