This chili is solid. I found the recipe and the always tasty fashionably foodie. You can cook on the stove-top or in the crock. It was also really good the next day on a taco salad with creamy jalapeno dressing. Ingredients: 4 cans kidney beans, undrained (I used 2 cans) or 1 pound dried kidney [...]

Published by November 14th, 2008 in 3 Stars, Easy Preparation, Leftover chicken or Turkey, Mexican/Southwest/Tex-Mex, One Pot, Poultry, Quick and Easy and Thanksgiving. 0 CommentsHere’s another casserole that uses leftover chicken or Turkey from Thanksgiving. It was good, but I liked the chicken tamale casserole better…-s said he really likes both and will definitely eat both. It’s quick and easy to prepare, which is always nice. This recipe comes from the October 2008 issue of Southern Living. Ingredients: 1 [...]
Creamed Spinach
Published by November 14th, 2008 in 3 Stars, Sauce, Thanksgiving and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsI had a bunch of spinach to use up, so I adapted a recipe I found at spinachrecipes.org. It’s not something I could eat every day, or even eat a lot of, but it was pretty good. The cream sauce is more like a cream gravy, so if you’re looking for an easy cream gravy [...]
Orange Honey Chicken
Published by September 12th, 2008 in 3 Stars, Crock Pot, Easy Preparation, Kid Approved and Poultry. 0 CommentsThis recipe is adapted from Country Bob’s site. I opted not to cook the veggies in the crockpot, as I prefer my veggies more crisp, so I made the veggies on the side. This was really quite tasty, and everyone liked it a lot. -s added more Country Bob’s sauce to the final product, but [...]
Broccoli Parmesan Casserole
Published by August 26th, 2008 in 3 Stars, Sides and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsI had a huge bag of broccoli I just had to use up. I came across a recipe at A Veggie Venture. I thought the kiddos would really like this. They like broccoli and they love cheese, but they were both really tired tonight, and it wasn’t the night to try something new. It was [...]
Taco Meat 2
Published by August 22nd, 2008 in 3 Stars, Beef, Easy Preparation, Family Recipe, Kid Approved, Mexican/Southwest/Tex-Mex and Poultry. 0 CommentsTT, our oldest loves taco meat from our local burrito place, so I decided to make tacos last night. I’ve made taco meat before, but I wanted to try something new. I came across a recipe in Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Cookbook, and the seasoning reminded me of taco meat, so I adapted that [...]
Crock Pot Lasagna Florentine
Published by August 13th, 2008 in 3 Stars, Crock Pot, Easy Preparation, Family Recipe, Italian, Kid Approved, One Pot and Vegetarian. 1 CommentI’ve never tried making a pasta dish in the crock pot. Today I got creative and made a lasagna. I used the no boil lasagna sheets and made a spinach and ricotta filling (trying to get veggies in wherever I can). Everyone really liked it. I thought the pasta was a bit over cooked, so [...]

Published by August 3rd, 2008 in 3 Stars, Asian, Crock Pot, Heart Healthy, Kid Approved and Poultry. 0 CommentsI had some red peppers that needed to get used up, and it was a Thursday, so I needed a crock pot dinner. The recipe below is my version of a recipe I came across. It was pretty good, and one that I will make again when we are in need of a tasty crock [...]
Crockpot Thai Red Curry
Published by July 12th, 2008 in 3 Stars, Asian, Crock Pot, Easy Preparation, One Pot, Poultry and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsI found this recipe at A Year of CrockPotting. The Crockpot Lady got it from Rachael Ray. I thought this dish tasted really good, and it was really good the next day for lunch. It had really great flavor, and since I think so many crockpot recipes are light in flavor, I was really pleased [...]
Crock Pot Chicken with Creamy Black Beans
Published by June 19th, 2008 in 3 Stars, Crock Pot, Easy Preparation, Family Recipe, Kid Approved, Mexican/Southwest/Tex-Mex, One Pot and Poultry. 0 CommentsIt’s Thursday, which means it is time for another crock pot recipe. I came across this recipe that only had the chicken, beans, salsa, corn, and cream cheese. I added the spices, which I think added quite a bit of flavor. It was pretty good. Our oldest really liked it (minus the corn), but our [...]
