The easiest, tastiest corned beef dinner is made right in your crock pot. This Slow Cooker Corned Beef recipe will give you tender, juicy meat every time, but don’t stop there! Brush with a simple (but boldly flavorful) sweet mustard glaze, then broil for just a few minutes to amp up the flavor before serving….
Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork
This slow cooker pulled pork recipe is extremely easy to make, but yields fall-apart tender, flavorful bbq pulled pork. It’s perfect for a stress-free dinner, or for serving at a party. (Who can complain when pulled pork sandwiches and pulled pork nachos are on the menu?) I’m not a food snob. I eat freezer meals…
Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate
Make a big batch of hot cocoa right in your crock pot, where it will stay warm for hours! This Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate is perfect for parties, and only requires 5 ingredients (not including the toppings, of course). Serve as is, or set up a hot chocolate bar with your favorite flavored liqueurs for…
Harira (Moroccan Chickpea and Lentil Soup)
Harira is a comforting Moroccan soup that features chickpeas, lentils, and plenty of deep flavors from harissa paste and toasted spices. Typically, Harira soup includes ground meat, but this easy version is vegetarian (and vegan) friendly! Even better– it mostly makes use of pantry staples, so it’s easy to stock up ahead of time and…
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 Mexican Street Corn Chowder
Usually when it’s hot out I beat the heat with freshly squeezed lemonade, or a dip into a cold pool, or a big cone full of ice cream. But my favorite way to do it is with Slow Cooker Mexican Street Corn Chowder.
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 Smothered Beef Burritos
The only limes that I’ve been able to find throughout the past few weeks of recipe-making have been intimidatingly large. As in REALLY HUGE. As in close your eyes and picture a softball, but then imagine that it has a green rind surrounding it– that’s what these limes look like. They kind of freak me out (“but WHY are they so big?”),…
Slow Cooker Chili Cheese Dog Dip
Over 2 years ago, I made a Chili Cheese Dog Dip that would haunt me until this very day. Not because it wasn’t delicious (trust me, it was), but because every single time I would ask James, “Guess what I’m making this week,” he would guess Chili Cheese Dog Dip. Every. Time. I eventually stopped asking…
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,…
