• 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 […]

  Vinaigrette Salad

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

  “To make a good salad is to be a brilliant diplomatist — the problem is entirely the same in both cases. To know exactly how much oil one must put with one’s vinegar.” Oscar Wilde 1856-1900, British Author Dinner was not a crock last night. We grilled out brats and had cold side dishes, drank […]

  Crock Pot Orange Tofu

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.

  I think it’s a wonderful community celebration when a baby is born. Friends and family gather to welcome the sweet little child and help the new parents with meals and errands and extra hands for diaper changes.  Tonight, it’s my turn to bring dinner to some friends and I’m pretty sure that they already assume […]

• 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 […]

• Crock Pot Green Bean Casserole

  Posted on by Valerie in Recipes, Side dishes.

  It doesn’t have to be Thanksgiving to enjoy a side dish that can be a year round favorite.  I like to go to restaurants and just order an array of side dishes as my meal— green bean casserole, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and scalloped apples are some of my favorites. Let’s be honest, it’s a […]

• 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 […]
