  Summer Series, Day Five: Crock Pot White Ratatouille

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, gluten-free, Recipes, Side dishes, Summer Series: Outer Banks, vegetarian.

  I’m seriously considering moving to the beach. Sunshine, seafood, salty air… it’s all good for my soul. As long as I have a good internet connection, I might just be willing to carry my crock pots up and down the east coast and showcase local flavor and attractions. Ok, I’m putting it out there– where […]

  Crock Pot Hot and Sour soup

  Posted on by Valerie in Appetizer, Dinner, gluten-free, Recipes, Side dishes, vegetarian.

  I had three reasons for creating crock pot hot and sour soup this week… 1. Chinese New Year was on Monday and I forgot to order takeout. 2.  I’ve been trying to do at least one meatless meal each week. 3. Hot and sour soup is amazing for clearing up a stuffy nose and a winter […]

  Crock Pot Sweet Potato Soup

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

  I’ve always been a fan of our grill… really, for two reasons. 1. In the summertime, it’s a great way to eat healthy and not heat up the kitchen and 2. when we grill, my husband is usually the one cooking!  Since it’s been such a mild winter, we’ve been taking advantage of the unseasonably […]

  Crock Pot Turkey Pot Roast

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.

  This afternoon, I went with my family to an apple orchard to pick fresh, local produce to enjoy. It felt organic. Not in the “lacking chemicals and pesticides” way, but in the “feeling connected to the earth and supporting something good”. My kids loved picking the fruit and sampling all the different kinds of apples.  […]

• Crock Pot Thai Chicken soup

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

   One of my favorite new indulgences is Thai food.  I started a few years ago with Pad Thai. It’s like the thai version of lomein, which is really just a step above the college-grade ramen noodle. But it started to introduce me to new flavors. Then, I moved up and through a few of the […]

  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 […]

• 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 Vegetarian Chicken Chili

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

  Did you catch the title?? Does it sound like a contradiction to say “vegetarian” and then “chicken” in the same meal?! It is not. Thanks to modern day culinary creativity, I can make chicken chili for friends that don’t want to eat meat.  This is a pretty easy recipe, but I like that it is […]
