• Crock pot broth

  Posted on by Valerie in Uncategorized.

  Last night I cooked an entire crock pot of food with no intention of eating it anytime this week. This is the beauty of the crock pot! I know that next week I want to make a big batch of chicken soup. But, I don’t want it to be a day long project, I need […]

• Crock Pot Drunk and Cheesy Sausages

  Posted on by Valerie in Uncategorized.

  There is something special about the first time we take the cover off the grill, fill the tank of gas and scrub off all the crisps from last season’s leftovers still charred to the grill. But while we might be eager to welcome warmer weather, there are lots of great ways to enjoy grillable meats without having to […]

• 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 Ratatouille

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.

  In the Pixar movie by this name, the character Linguini says “Ratatouille. It’s like a stew, right? Why do they call it that? If you’re gonna name a food, you should give it a name that sounds delicious. Ratatouille doesn’t sound delicious. It sounds like “rat” and “patootie.” Rat-patootie, which does not sound delicious. ” […]

• Crock Pot Vegetarian Lentil Soup

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

  There used to be this great Greek restaurant that I frequented that served lentil soup in a styrofoam cup. It was always hot and fresh and the lentils were soft without being mushy. I would frame my entire meal around saving room and money for the soup.  This recipe mirrors the flavors and warmth of 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 Vegetarian Vegetable Soup

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

  I love these days that are halfway between winter and spring.  I’m pretty sure by mid-afternoon I’m going to be suffocating in whatever I decided to wear because I was in fear of getting cold when I got dressed in the morning. Yeah, I think it’s one of those days. Any day that starts with […]

• 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 […]

  This is already in the pot for dinner tonight! It helps to cook the cabbage the night before so you don’t scald your hands trying to peel off the perfect leaves. 1 head cabbage
