I'm leafing through the tab in my binder of Mom’s recipes earmarked “dishes to compliment a Thanksgiving feast!" Like all Slow Cooker recipes, Mom’s Pot Roast recipe proves to be very simple. Honestly, just need to buy the right cut of meat. After the meat selection, all that follows is properly seasoning it and plopping it in the porcelain pot of your slow cooker! Then, sit back (or leave) and let it the slow cooker work its magic for the next 8-10 hours. I love that this particular marinade doesn’t consist of the traditional … [Read more...]

This recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup is one of my favorites. I look forward to making it and every year, I inevitably tweak the ingredients.

While we haven't had much snow on the east coast, it is still winter. For my family, that translates to meals that are comforting and filling. As you might've imagined, my slow cooker has been put into overdrive and I feel as though baking in the oven adds another much-needed layer of heat for my apartment. There isn't a week that goes by without some sort of casserole or stew being designed. There should be no intimidation factor here. Most casseroles and stews are hassle-free to make.
