Crockpot Chili

September 28, 2011

This recipe is a family favorite of mine – my brother-in-law Mike loves it.  I adapted it a few years ago from Paula Deen’s recipe.  It is perfect meal to come home to on a chilly fall day – especially because it is so easy to prepare.  This dish was even easier because Matt took [...]

I have started a new Monday morning tradition – Steel Cut Crock Pot oats cooked overnight.  A great way to start the day on a Monday – breakfast already prepared for me (and Matt).  Last night I added 1 cup steel cut oats, a splash of vanilla, and 4 cups of water to my soufflé [...]

Sloppy Lentils

September 27, 2010

Awhile back, I had asked the Twitter world for some recommendations on Vegetarian Slow Cooker books – I have a feeling Monday’s will be slow cooker Mondays for the rest of the semester.  Neither Matt nor I get home until around 7 pm and at that point, my desire to make dinner is pretty much [...]
