Slow Cooker Queso Blanco
Slow Cooker Queso Blanco. This velvety, rich cheese dip is just as good– if not better– than the kind you get from your favorite Mexican restaurant. Serve it straight from the slow cooker (where it will keep warm) at a party, or ladle over nachos. Somewhere around the point of “8 pounds of cheese down”,…
Slow Cooker Spicy Shredded Mexican Chicken
This month is like an experiment in how many lazy dinners I can make. And how many days in a row I can use my slow cooker before actually putting it back into the cabinet. And how many tacos I can stomach. Especially that last one. I bought a jumbo-sized package of tortillas at the wholesale…
Slow Cooker Sticky Bacon & Whiskey Meatballs
When I was reading my list of upcoming recipes aloud for James, he stopped me at this one. “That sounds like a great snack for poker night with the guys,” he hinted. (He is so subtle, isn’t he?) But I had big, estrogen-packed plans for these Slow Cooker Sticky Bacon & Whiskey Meatballs: I was going to…
Slow Cooker Ancho Coffee Shredded Beef
I’m trying to be a glass-half-full sort of person, so instead of apologizing that this Slow Cooker Ancho Coffee Shredded Beef recipe wasn’t out in time for you to pile it into your Cinco de Mayo tacos, I’m going to say that I’m doing a public service by sharing it with you SO FAR AHEAD…
Slow Cooker Short Rib Ragu with Horseradish Gremolata
Happy twenty-seventeen, friends. I hope you’ve started off the year hopeful about all of the things that lie ahead. Because I’m an over-thinker of epic proportions, you have to know that I’ve spent the past 48 hours painstakingly analyzing what I think the legacy of 2017 will be. By analyzing, of course I mean without any data…
Slow Cooker Jamaican Jerk Chicken Chili with Plantain Chips
Consider this my SOS call.
Slow Cooker Indian-Spiced Lentils
Since moving, I’ve learned that there’s a fat chance of finding decent takeout in this town. The pizza place a half-block away only serves edible food if “the old guy” is working. The Chinese in the same plaza is garbage. There was a good Chinese place about a mile down the road, but in a…
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Noodle Soup
January is always a month of confusion for me– How long will it take me to remember to write “/16” when I’m jotting down the date? When did it get so cold? When did my jeans get so snug? And on that note, will I flood the blog with healthy recipes? Or should I focus on fattier (and far…
Slow Cooker Pumpkin Cheesecake
Let’s be honest: no matter how great of a cook you are, nor how gracious a host, Thanksgiving gets stressful when you’re the chosen one who’s preparing the feast. Everyone is counting on you for a delicious day; it is the biggest food-centric event of the year, after all. You spend days planning and prepping,…
Slow Cooker Honey Chipotle Stout Enchiladas
Can you believe that it’s already August? Where did the summer go? We’re just over a month away from swapping out lemonade for pumpkin lattes and, you guys, I’m so not ready for the sun to start setting before I leave the office. We’ll be packing away our swimsuits and taking out our sweaters in no time. NO. Nooooo!…
Slow Cooker Korean Sloppy Joes
My obsession with fusion food started when I was still living in New Brunswick, taste-testing my way through the town one drunk-friendly food truck or mini restaurant at a time. Out of all of the food NB had to offer, it was a Korean BBQ fusion restaurant that stole my heart and wooed my tastebuds….
Slow Cooker Thai Chicken and Noodles
When I was in college, if you asked me what I’d like to eat, the answer was always “Thai food”. There was a little restaurant in the corner of a strip mall that was tucked behind the highway, with a big sign on the front window that boasted “The Best Thai Cuisine in Town”– rightfully…
Slow Cooker Sweet Heat Kielbasa Dip
Happy Friday! Happy Super Bowl Weekend! Happy birthday to my wonderful hand model / reflector board holder / taste-tester / incredibly patient boyfriend! Such skill. Look at the finesse with which James shows off this Slow Cooker Sweet Heat Kielbasa Dip. Truly a thing of beauty. I’m not sure if I’m talking about his hand or the…
Crock Pot Kung Pao Chicken
This time of year, the Crock Pot and One Pot recipes look more and more appealing. I want as much flavor with as little effort as humanly possible when the holidays approach and the temperature plummets. This time of year, I don’t have the time or the energy to do much that doesn’t revolve around Christmas…
Slow Cooker Sausage, Spinach, and Artichoke Dip
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about that Spinach and Artichoke Dip Alfredo I made last year. And the oft requested Crab and Artichoke Dip. Oh, and Spinach Dip Bites, too! Mainly because they’re all freakin’ delicious, but also because I have an obsession with any recipe that uses a ton of cheese, spinach, and/or artichokes….
