• Crock Pot Chimichurri Steak

  Posted on by Valerie in Uncategorized.

  The word “chimichurri” might make you think of that silly little ditty from Mary Poppin’s chimney sweep friend, but I assure you, there is nothing dirty or British about this recipe (not that the two are synonymous!). I think of chimichurri sauce as an Argentinian version of pesto, but with parsley instead of basil.  I […]

• Crock Pot Chicken and Quinoa

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

  This is great sick food. Not food that will make you sick, but a food that falls into the same category as matzah ball soup, egg drop soup and homemade mashed potatoes– these foods all make you feel better! I’ll warn you that this dish is very bland, so if you’d like to eat it […]

  Crock Pot Chicken Cordon Bleu

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.

  After three days of amazing holiday weekend barbecues, I am ready for something without sauce, sides of beans or cool whip desserts.  I have had the pleasure of attending festivities at friends’ homes so I actually haven’t had to do much cooking! My crock pot has been sitting pretty for a few days now and […]

• Crock Pot Inside Out Stuffed Peppers

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.

  Stuffed peppers are a delicious union of textures and are meant for slow cooking. But sometimes, the prep work of cutting and chopping and mixing and stuffing is just too much.  Consider this my recipe for “inside out stuffed peppers”. I’ve figured out a way to get that same great result with even less time. It […]

  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 Creamy Corn

  Posted on by Valerie in Side dishes, vegetarian.

  Not to be too corny, but I’m a big fan of corn. I love fresh local corn on the cob in the summer, corn chowder soup in the winter, corn muffins, popcorn at the movies, canned cream corn, kettle corn at the apple festival, even cooking with corn oil. I’ve got some great leftover meat […]

• Crock Pot London Broil

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.

  My head had been swirling with a mix of the traditional children’s song about a certain London Bridge and the contemporary naughty version of the song by a certain Mrs. Black-Eyed Pea. While I might not have the cute sequin British flag on a pair of boy shorts, I think my London Broil is a […]

• Crock Pot Fish Chowder

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

  This recipe has evolved from an amazing chowder that I once had at the Columbus International Festival in Ohio. I think it was the Scandanavian table that was honoring their long-standing countrymen’s careers of treacherous trips on the ocean. I think it was really to honor the countrywomen’s careers of having boatloads of fish to […]

• Crock Pot Potato Soup

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

  My 93-year-old grandmother-in-law was visiting last week and the woman is amazing.  She is clear minded and sound of body. She might not win the race, but she will definitely reach the finish line. She loves her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and hates to be idle. So when she was here visiting and offered to help […]

• Crock Pot Brisket– easy, medium and hard

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, How To..., Recipes.

  I’m pretty sure everyone has a grandmother-aged person in their life that makes the “perfect brisket”. It’s moist, juicy, flavorful and pulls apart perfectly. We’ve tried and tried to repeat the old world secrets, but somehow our ovens continue to dry out the meat or make it tough to chew. Look no further– grandma might […]
