  Crock Pot Garlic Mushrooms

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

  Snow Day #7. I’ve been using my crock pot for breakfast, for lunch, and for dinner.  Somehow the invasion of snow has worked up some serious appetites after playing outside. To feed my little monsters, I planned on making pasta last night (no, not in a crock pot… just the normal boil water and add […]

• Crock Pot Sweet Potato and Corn Chowder

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

  This recipe comes from my friend I.H.K. and she is an amazing cook. This soup is thick and chunky and a whole meal in one bowl. She recommends serving it with tortilla chips or corn bread.  Using an immersion blender can really change a soup from drab to fab by altering the consistency to be […]

  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 Stuffing Balls

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

  Stuffing is an under-appreciated side dish. It completely defines a Thanksgiving dinner and can sometimes be found at kitschy homecooking restaurants, but there is no reason to leave it alone for the rest of the year. Plus, it’s a great way to use leftover or stale bread. The more variety you use in your bread […]

  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 […]

Only, I don’t have a royal chef, a housekeeping staff, a castle moat or a dragon. I think the term “a la king” actually refers to the […]

  Crock Pot Scalloped Potatoes

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

  After some trial and error with cooking potatoes in the crock pot, I’ve finally got some advice for you. First off…don’t try to make mashed potatoes. The long amount of time and lack of high heat sort of ruin the effect. But, if you want to make them on the stove and then keep them heated in […]

  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 […]
