• 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 Southern Style Greens

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

  Living in the South, I have learned that I can no longer assume that my vegetables are vegetarian. It seems like every restaurant I go to  uses delicious savory meats like bacon, sausage or ham to season our side dishes. I always like bacon on a side salad without any complaints, so I’m definitely open to […]

  Crock Pot Beet Salad

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

  In the midst of summer heat, I love to use my crock pot to cook the season’s ripe vegetables. My kitchen stays cool and my taste buds get to dance.  This week, I had friends bring me fresh beets from their community CSA. I love roasting beets in a little bit of olive oil, salt […]

  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 Cabbage Roll Casserole

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.

  One of my favorite dishes that my grandmother made is cabbage rolls, but honestly– who has time for all the steps?! I have made them before in the crock pot (use the search function to see my recipe) but today’s version is even easier. It has almost all the same components, but only takes a […]

• 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 Vegetable Curry

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.

  One of my favorite things about Indian food is that you can have such a variety of purely vegetarian dishes.  With the right balance of ingredients, you can have a healthy, protein- and vitamin-rich meal with an array of flavors and nothing in it will have ever had a face. There is also a misconception […]

• 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 […]

  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 Purple Oatmeal

  Posted on by Valerie in Uncategorized.

  This oatmeal is an easy way to invite your senses to wake up and start the day.  I love the surprise of removing the crock pot lid and seeing a beautiful bright purple, smelling the sweet steam and seeing the little bubbles around the edges on this thick and smooth oatmeal. This would be a […]
