• Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

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

  The morning is half over and my whole family is still wearing pajamas. Yay for snow days! But since  it’s dreadful and cold outside, I need something hot and satisfying to fill our bellies. I decided that we should head south of the border tonight and enjoy some Mexican fare, so today I am sharing my […]

  Crock Pot Beef and Barley Stew

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

  Here’s your history lesson for today, folks… let’s learn about barley. If you are a “meat and potatoes” kind of person, barley is a great item to add to your grocery list. Barley rations go all the way back to biblical times, I think, it’s healthy, hearty and inexpensive;  is one of the world’s top […]

  Crock Pot Vegetable Soup For Men

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

  I am fortunate to have a husband that loves my cooking and loves to eat.  He tries everything I make and is very agreeable about most of it. But today, I had the privilege of watching my husband cook his first crock pot meal. And it turned out great! Today’s soup includes a lot of […]

  Crock Pot Vegetarian Lasagna

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes, vegetarian.

  I love lasagna! Anytime you can combine everything into one dish and it hits pretty much every food group, then I’m a happy girl. But oven-baked lasagna takes way too much work… all the boiling and layering and smoothing and baking and spilling, then oven cleaning… I would rather just order lasagna from a nice […]

• Crock Pot Thai Chicken Wraps

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

  Tonight is open house at my son’s school and the timing  makes dinner as a family tough. So, it is going to be date night instead— but eating out is expensive, so I’ll feed the kids early and then us parents can eat when we get home (and the kids are sleeping!). But since I’m not sure […]

  Crock Pot Summer Onion Dip

  Posted on by Valerie in Appetizer, Recipes, vegetarian.

  If you read my post about the cute $7 crockpot that I saw on sale last week, this recipe would be the perfect fit for it! If you have a “little dipper” sized crock pot, you can make this dip and then use the crock pot to serve it and keep it warm. I thought […]

  Crock Pot Cowpea Soup

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

  Most of you probably just read the title of this recipe and giggled. Yes, cowpea sounds a lot like cow pie. In fact, cow pee makes it seem even more funny. So if you haven’t heard of a cowpea before, let me tell you a little about it. But seriously, you can stop giggling now. Cowpeas […]

  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 […]
