• Crock Pot Beef Stew

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.

  So after the amazing stroganoff last week, somehow I still wanted to make more beef. (I think we had BBQ chicken one too many times over the holiday weekend.)  So even though it is summer, I thought some hearty beef stew would satisfy my craving for red meat.  The nice part about this meal and […]

• Crock Pot Nacho Fries

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

  I remember as a kid going to diners and cute little restaurants with good homecooking and a little grease on everything.  It was always a treat to get something smothered or covered or dipped or drizzled. I don’t usually eat a lot of fried and greasy, especially not in the crock pot, but today it just sounded […]

  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 […]

• Crock Pot Mexican Chicken

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.

  I’m a big fan of celebrating other cultures, especially their holidays, but it’s mostly for the foods we get to enjoy. Cinco de Mayo used to mean margaritas, Corona with lime and maybe some array of indigestion-causing spicy salsas. Now I try for a little more flavor and less debauchery.  This Mexican Chicken crockpot is […]

• Crock Pot Creamy Corn

  Posted on by Valerie in Side dishes, vegetarian.

  Not to be too corny, but I’m a big fan of corn. I love fresh local corn on the cob in the summer, corn chowder soup in the winter, corn muffins, popcorn at the movies, canned cream corn, kettle corn at the apple festival, even cooking with corn oil. I’ve got some great leftover meat […]

• Easiest Crock Pot Chili– EVER

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.

  If you can work a can opener, you can make this chili. You still need to brown the meat before you put it in the crock pot, but that’s the only work that needs done. Open the cans, dump it in, let it fester. Done. My brother in law taught me this recipe and I […]

• 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. She loves her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and hates to be idle. So when she was here visiting and offered to help […]

• Crock Pot Bean Medley

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

  We’re going to a BBQ at my brother’s house this weekend and since the assumption is that I’ll bring something from the crockpot, I know I need to come up with something tasty and creative. The catch is that I don’t really want to go grocery shopping today. So, I’m diving into the pantry in the […]
