Continue readingCrockpot Breakfast Casserole Recipe
I love waking up to the smell of breakfast cooking. Sadly, I’m the morning person around here so that doesn’t happen very often… unless I whip up this easy breakfast dish the night before and stick it in the crockpot before going to bed. By the time I’m up and had my first cup of […]
Continue readingCurried Pork Stew From The Slowcooker
I love playing with spices and different types of cuisines. Curries are something we’re fairly new to and I wanted to try something simple, but delicious that my family would love. This curried pork stew fit the bill perfectly. The recipe is from Tracy Robert’s new cookbook “Simple Crockpot Dishes For Busy Moms“. It’s a […]

Continue readingSlowcooker Roasted Chicken
I love a nice roasted chicken. Not only does it make for a great Sunday dinner, but you can also pull some of the meat of the bones and add it to other meals throughout the week. And let’s not forget about the bones. They are a great base for making your own chicken stock […]
Continue readingCheesy Crockpot Chicken
This recipe recipe is always a crowd-pleaser and very kid-friendly as well. I serve it with the delicious sauce over rice or noodles. Just add a side salad or steam up some broccoli and dinner is done. This is a recipe from my new Kindle cookbook – 35 Simple and Tasty Chicken Crockpot Recipes Instead of using […]

Do you like the idea of cooking dried beans from scratch, but don’t think you have time to stir the pots for hours and hours? I have a great solution for you. Cook your beans in your slowcooker. Yes, it takes a little planning ahead, but you’ll come home to a nice big pot of […]
Continue readingSlow Cooker Collard Greens
Down here we traditionally eat ham, collard greens and back-eyed peas on New Year’s Day. This year I’m going to make my collard greens in the slow cooker and thought I’d share the recipe with you. Just get them started around lunch time and by dinner they will be delicious and tender. Flavor and texture […]
Continue readingCrockpot Ham and Potato Casserole
I love this dish because it’s so simple and very tasty. If you’re not a big fan of mushrooms, use any “Cream of…” type soup. One year I made this with some cream of broccoli soup and added a little chopped up broccoli to the mix as well and it turned out really good. This […]
Continue readingCrockpot Meatloaf Recipe
We love meatloaf around here. I use my mother-in-law’s recipe but modified it to work in the crockpot for those days when we’re busy running around. It’s comfort food and there’s always plenty left over for sandwiches the next day. I also like to crumble up leftover meatloaf and use it in spaghetti sauce. Here’s […]
Continue readingCrockpot Chicken Corn Chowder
I’ll admit it… I love a nice bowl of homemade chowder. There’s just something about the richness and creaminess that’s hard to beat. The problem for me up until now has been that it takes some time to make and that I always feel guilty about all those calories. Well… consider the problem solved with […]

Earlier this week I shared a recipe for a loaded backed potato soup that cooks in the slow cooker that’s been a big hit this fall. Today I have another potato soup for you, but this one includes some sweet potatoes and apples. The combination makes for a great soup that fills you up and […]
Continue readingCrockpot Baked Potato Soup
Who doesn’t love a nice baked potato with some sour cream, cheese and bacon? How about taking all those wonderful flavors and turning them into a quick and easy crockpot soup. I think peeling the potatoes was the hardest and most time consuming part of making this soup. Next time I’ll put my husband to […]
