So, a funny little story about this recipe but first I need to make a disclaimer. I typically believe in being straightforward and honest with everyone, and this includes my kids. However, the pickiness of my (now) 5 year old (how did another year go by so quickly? sorry, I digress) has got me at my…
A simple to make Mexican style chicken is a must have in any recipe rotation. And making it in the slow cooker? Obviously a given. I love having great base recipes that leave me with lots of options and this one fits that bill for sure. You could certainly customize it to your liking by…
I may have just booked our summer vacation but I have to be careful not to get ahead of myself. While my heart is ready for tank tops and flip flops, my head (and freezing fingers and toes) tell me that winter is still here. At least the upside is that we can still comfort…
So, we chatted the other day about my eating philosophy and how feeding my family good wholesome food that everyone can enjoy is a huge part of that. You can read more about it here but basically what it comes down to is using the best ingredients you can find to create a delicious meal that…
I realize we are all only a few days into our New Year’s Resolution healthy eating plans but I’m going to venture a guess that more than just a few of us are already thinking there’s no way we can handle eating all the “grilled chicken” that seems to be required! So in order to…
I’ll be the first to admit that there are just some days where the idea of picking up some take-out is so much more appealing than the idea of cooking something (or cleaning up the mess). But then again, I usually feel way better about serving meals to my family that we’ve cooked at home. I…
The meatball obsession continues. This time with a spicy chicken version based on the classic beer can chicken. So, I guess I should start by saying I never knew there was actually arguments/controversies surrounding the methods behind beer can chicken. Does it work, does it flavor the chicken? Well, one of these days I will…
Back by popular demand… another recipe for your Crock-Pot Lunch Crock Food Warmer! You guys are awesome. Taking your lunch to work, being good!! I just love it. So I am going to try and help by making it easy and delicious for you. There is a limit to what you can make in these…
I know you’re thinking it can’t be done, but I promise you… it can! You can totally have this delicious Barbecue Chicken Pasta on the table for your family, on a weeknight, and only use one pot to make it… your slow cooker!! Yes, even the pasta! I know how busy fall can get, with…
People (including me!) throw out the words “tastes like fall” a lot to describe recipes this time of year. But what does that mean? I guess it can mean something different to each person but I tend to think of foods that are found seasonally this time of year. Apples, pumpkins, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin…
What happens on those days when you don’t have time to cook or you just don’t feel like going to a lot of trouble? I know sometimes at our house and maybe at yours too we will get takeout or even go out to eat, but there are also those days where that’s really not…
I don’t know exactly what it is about food, but it seems to be the glue that brings my family together. Whether it be the time we spend around the kitchen counter at home or choosing a favorite restaurant to share a special meal, somehow our best memories seem to involve some sort of eating. Since it…
