  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 Creamy Tomato Soup

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

  I understand that the red label of canned tomato soup is probably very patriotic and that eating grilled cheese and tomato soup is one of our commandments or laws or requirements as Americans. I support that, I do. But– I don’t think my grilled cheese sandwich deserves to bathe in a mixture of weird canned […]

• 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 Sloppy Joes

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.

  Here’s your mission if you choose to accept it: make dinner for four adults and two kids when you are staying at a friends house, you found one pound of ground turkey in the freezer and there is a pantry of assorted cans. And…. GO! While visiting friends this week, I figured it was only […]

• 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 […]

  Passover Puffs– not done in a crock pot

  Posted on by Valerie in Breakfast, Dinner, Recipes.

  Due to popular request, here is my recipe for Passover Puffs. These are great for making sandwiches. Yes they are made with matzah meal, but no– they don’t taste like Passover food. If you want to add some variety, try adding more or less sugar, depending if you are serving them with sweet or savory […]

• 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 Escalloped Cabbage Casserole

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

  My husband’s family use to have this amazing tradition; every Wednesday night we would all go to his grandmother’s house for dinner.  Gaga’s recipes usually start with butter or oil and a little salt and pepper and from there, it could be chicken or beef or vegetables or any number of simply wonderful simple dishes.
