Thai Sweet and Spicy Slow Cooker Pork

I started last year with a post that included a vow to attempt to blog more often. I held true to that for a little while, but as time went on it went by the wayside. It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that I’m a full time working mom of an almost […]

The Best Slow Cooker Beef Stew

Lately, I’ve been looking for easy meals that I can make quickly or ahead of time so I can spend as much time as possible with my family. Can you blame me? Look how cute my little man is! Lucky me, he “helps” me in the kitchen by taking dishes out of the dishwasher (which eventually end […]

Crock Pot Loaded Potato Soup

A few girls from work and I started a book club, and I volunteered to host the first meeting.  Since I love Mexican food, I decided to have a nacho bar.  In the interest of keeping things easy, I decided to cook the meat for the nacho bar in the crock pot. Incidentally, remember my […]

Crock Pot Pulled Pork

Of all things barbecue, I’d have to say pulled pork is my absolute favorite.  I especially love it on nachos at Busch stadium during a Cardinals game.  Pulled pork is actually really, really easy to make and the crock pot is the perfect method of cooking.  Since it cooks low and slow all day, it […]

Crock Pot Cheesy Potatoes

Everyone has those recipes that are great for potlucks, and you use them time and time again.  This is that recipe for me, and every time I take it somewhere new, people ask for the recipe.  I mean, who doesn’t love cheesy potatoes?  This recipe has an added bonus in that you put everything in […]
