  Crock Pot Sweet Potato Soup

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

  I’ve always been a fan of our grill… really, for two reasons. 1. In the summertime, it’s a great way to eat healthy and not heat up the kitchen and 2. when we grill, my husband is usually the one cooking!  Since it’s been such a mild winter, we’ve been taking advantage of the unseasonably […]

• 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 […]

  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. Trust me, one pot […]
