  • 31 Days of Slow Cooking – Crockpot bbq ribs

    Reposted from January 2011 When it’s a work day, I often want easy meals. I need to have dinner on the table soon after I get home. This has to be done before my hubby goes to work.  This recipe is super easy because it cooks while I’m at work.  The smells that meet me…

  • 31 Days of Slow Cooking – Spanish Style Chicken Noodle Soup

    Today is going to be a short post because of parent-teacher conferences.  I’m going to feature a recipe from the blog. We love Spanish-style chicken noodle soup.  The soup features orzo instead of egg noodles.  The original recipe called for it to be made on the stovetop.  I adapted it for the slow cooker, which…

  • I’ve signed up for a 31-day writing challenge.  Every day in October, I post a new slow cooker recipe, a link to a previously posted slow cooker recipe, or a recipe from another blog. Our family loves ravioli.  It’s such an easy meal to put together.  This recipe makes its own sauce, so it’s a…

  • 31 Days of Slow Cooking (Day 6) – Baked Potatoes

    I told my family I was going to do this challenge.  They are very supportive of my taking on this challenge.  In fact, Hubby decided to surprise me by changing the area where the crock pot is located.  He didn’t like how it was in the back of the counter. The meat on the cutting…

  • Queso Dip – 31 Days of Slow Cooking (Day 4)

    Last night, Hubby and I had to attend a get-together for a possible new pastor. We ate dinner with other members of the Call Committee and their spouses. I was to bring appetizers or finger food. A veggie tray was my first thought. I bought some red pepper hummus and pumpkin hummus for dipping. Since…

  • Gelatin Poke Cake

    Years ago, I used to make gelatin poke cakes for different occasions. They were one of Hubby’s favorite desserts. Then I stopped making them for some reason. Hubby’s birthday was last week. I decided to make a gelatin poke cake for his birthday cake. Wee One helped me make the cake. He also got to choose…

  • When we eat pasta dishes at our house, the three of us enjoy eating garlic bread with our dinner.  The Wee One refuses to eat garlic bread.  That means extra garlic bread for the rest of us. The other day I decided to make garlic bread using hoagie buns from Sam’s Club.  The result was…

  • Creamy Tomato Soup

    Sometimes I crave the classic combo of grilled cheese and tomato soup.  I really don’t like condensed tomato soup unless I doctor it up with basil.  So when I craved it, I decided to try making a homemade version of the soup.  It ended up being yummy! This recipe came from Rachael Ray.  As a…

  • Applesauce Overnight Oatmeal

    Until a few years ago, breakfast was not a favorite meal of mine.  I rarely ate breakfast which is not a good habit to get into.  Then I made a resolution in 2013 to eat breakfast every day.  I did 98% of the time, but a few times, I forgot to – usually if I…
