Crock Pot Ground Turkey Stuffed Peppers
Posted on by Valerie in Uncategorized.My favorite season is sunshine. I don’t really care what month of the year it actually is… if the sun is beaming and I can feel the warmth on my face then it’s my favorite season, for sure.

Crock Pot Vegetarian Beef Stir Fry
Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes, Side dishes, vegetarian.Ever wonder how to feed vegetarians but still make something that your family will eat? My boys are meat-eaters. I praise them for their love of fruits and veggies, too, but without meat, they would not survive. We are not a quinoa-black bean-lentil-tofu-kale-any other alternate to real protein eating crew.

Crock Pot Chicken Divan
Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes, Side dishes.This recipe gives me crazy flashbacks! My mom use to make this when I was a kid. She made it in the oven, but it was almost the same recipe— broccoli, chicken, rice and some sauce that had a little bit of an orange color but didn’t taste at all like oranges. It took me […]

Crock Pot Mexican Chicken
Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.I’m a big fan of celebrating other cultures, especially their holidays, but it’s mostly for the foods we get to enjoy. Cinco de Mayo used to mean margaritas, Corona with lime and maybe some array of indigestion-causing spicy salsas. Now I try for a little more flavor and less debauchery.

Keepin’ it simple
Posted on by Valerie in How To....Some days you might consider dumping everything in a crockpot to still be too much work. I know some of you have great intentions, but that crockpot is still sitting in a box in your basement. Or, the idea of scrubbing the caramelized tidbits from the sides might convince you not to try.
