Save Money and Eat Healthy With Your Slow Cooker

Save Money and Eat Healthy with your Slow Cooker

Today I’m turning my blog over  to my friends Tracy and Susanne, from Homemakershutch.com. They’re digging out their slow cookers this month and putting them to work. I love the idea of slow cooking during one of the busiest months of my year, so I’ve joined them. They offered to drop in and share some tips…

Slow Cooker Barbecue Beef Sandwiches

August 3, 2015 By Beth Cranford Leave a Comment

Summer’s not over! Just because school is starting doesn’t mean we can’t still have picnics and sip sweat tea! Between getting ready to get back into our homeschooling routine and still wanting to hold on to some summer activities, my desire to be in the kitchen is running pretty thin. Who wants to be in…

White Bean Chicken Chili

White Bean Chicken Chili:Beat the chill with delicious (and quick to make) chili.

  Raise your hand if you’re sick of winter! I really shouldn’t complain, I know it’s much colder in other parts of the country, but I’ve gotten a little spoiled, having moved from Maine to Tennessee ten years ago. 30° is now cold to me! In my own defense, it’s been much colder than that…

Slow Cooker Barbecue Beef with easy homemade barbecue sauce

Slow Cooker (no peel) Mashed Potatoes

November 17, 2014 By Beth Cranford 6 Comments

Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes

  Mashed potatoes. One of America’s favorite comfort foods. The problem is, if you’re in the mood for comfort food, you’re probably not in the mood to peel a bunch of potatoes and do all that other tedious stuff it takes to make an amazing batch of mashed potatoes. This could really be a problem….

Salsa Chicken Nachos

Crock Pot Salsa Chicken Nachos

Salsa chicken nachos. Perhaps the easiest meal there is. And it’s fun food; even better! Just toss 5 ingredients into the Crock Pot and turn it on. (And if you have no beans, or forget them like I did, then you just toss 4 ingredients into the pot!) I made this a few weeks ago…

Crock Pot Sweet Potatoes

February 21, 2014 By Beth Cranford 3 Comments

So moist and you don't have to remember to cook the potatoes an hour before dinner!

I know. This is hardly a recipe. It’s more like a process, if you can even call it that. I promise, I’ll give you something more exciting next time. But then again, not having to remember to pop the potatoes in the oven (or get home in time to do so) can be pretty exciting…

Autumn Chicken Stew

Autumn Chicken Stew

Who wants another Crock Pot recipe? One that isn’t just another version of the ones you already have? (Seriously, how many beef stew recipes can one person possibly need anyway?) This is one of those recipes that you just have to try. There is no way I can describe to you the flavor of this…

Cream Cheese Chicken

January 13, 2014 By Beth Cranford 2 Comments

Cream Cheese Chicken-A meal this easy shouldn't be this good!

  (Totally need to get me some plates with no flowers.) What’s better than throwing some stuff in a crock pot and forgetting about it until dinner? Throwing 5 things into a crock pot (if you count water) and forgetting about it until dinner. Yes, you’ll need to cook some noodles, but it still  doesn’t…

Pepper Steak

Crock Pot Pepper Steak

Honestly, I don’t really know what “real” pepper steak is supposed to look like, or taste like, or what’s even in it. I’m guessing it’s not even close to what I’m calling Pepper Steak. But you’re nice people and I know you’ll overlook my ignorance and just make this yummy meal. Despite its amazing ability…
