• 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 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 Summer Vegetable Puree

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

  As much as winter is the time for soups and stews, I really like summer soups too. This one isn’t too hearty since it’s a puree and I think it tastes really light when it is served warm, not hot.  I’ve had to become really creative with vegetables this summer— with so much amazing local produce, […]

  Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.

  Happy birthday to my husband. He is an amazing man, father, lover and friend. And he loves my cooking.  So for tonight, I wanted to make him a nice dinner. But of course, I still have the kids to take care of today, a house to clean before company and a dog that is begging […]

  Crock Pot Cabbage and Onions

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

  My family has requested perogies for dinner tonight and as much as I’d like to try to make them homemade, that just isn’t going to happen. So I figured if our main dish at dinner is from a frozen blue box, then our side dishes should be fresh and flavorful. Perogies are an amazing Polish […]

  Crock Pot Gumbo

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

  I opened up my weekly CSA delivery and was so excited to see the ripe, fragrant produce. One thing in particular caught my attention– OKRA. The first thing I thought of was some hot, spicy gumbo.  I think half of what I unpacked is going to end up in the gumbo— okra, tomatoes, basil, corn, green […]

• 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 Southern Style Greens

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

  Living in the South, I have learned that I can no longer assume that my vegetables are vegetarian. It seems like every restaurant I go to  uses delicious savory meats like bacon, sausage or ham to season our side dishes. I always like bacon on a side salad without any complaints, so I’m definitely open to […]

• Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.

  Ok fans, this is the recipe you chose for today! Beef stroganoff is a great one-pot meal. You’ve got meat, dairy and carb (when served on noodles or rice) and if you count mushrooms as a veggie, then don’t bother serving this with side dish. There is something great about the creaminess of this recipe […]
