Italian Delight

I got this recipe from my cousin who in turn got it from my Aunt who says there was a note on the original recipe that it came from my Great Aunt Florence Martin from Boston in the 1930's.

I have, of course, revised the recipe to my taste and time schedule.

This is a delicious casserole that has become a family favorite around here!

Individual Chicken Pot Pie

My newest fascination is making individual meals in these cute crock bowls I found at Cost Plus World Market a few weeks ago.

They are the perfect size for a pot pie, lasagna, bowl of chili, breakfast dishes, etc.

Cheese Stuffed Italian Meatballs

There is this recipe all over Facebook lately for Mozzarella Stuffed Slow Cooker Meatballs from Tasty.  They look amazing and everyone I know has been trying them.

I decided to adapt the recipes slightly and make it on the stove top for a faster weeknight meal.

This can certainly still be made in the slow cooker just as easily as the stove top.

Crock Pot Cashew Chicken

So today I was on Pinterest , again, looking up recipes to use in my new "smaller" crock pot when I remembered that my awesome nail lady Anh said while she and her boyfriend were checking out my blog they noticed there weren't a whole lot of Asian inspired recipes.

Hi Anh!  This one's for you :)

So what better place than Pinterest to find a bunch of yummy recipes to try.

Back to the crock pots......

Melt in your Mouth Crock Pot BBQ Ribs

I'm finally back after several months off planning my daughters wedding, whew!

I have missed you guys and blogging so much lately and with the way technology changes with the wind it'll be a miracle if I can even remember how to write a post.

With only three of us living at home most days I decided it was time to get myself a new (smaller) crock pot.  And beings as I LOVE my All Clad 7qt. slow cooker I decided to try the All Clad 4 Qt. Slow Cooker for smaller meals.  Both are available at Williams Sonoma or Amazon.

Wendy's Copycat Chili

Doesn't this potato just scream dinner to you?

I don't know about you but I will find any excuse to include potatoes in my daily consumption of food, including trying out new recipes.

I found this recipe over at The Slow Roasted Italian and knew I had to give it a try, especially after my Aunt already tried it and said it was fabulous.

I've never actually HAD Wendy's chili but I know this one is a winner even if I have nothing to compare it to.

This is a meal that can be cooked up in under an hour so it's perfect for weeknight meals.
