Now that it’s fall, it’s officially crock pot/slow cookin’ season! WHOOHOO! (Even though it’s still a million degrees here in South Florida.) I kicked it off with this absolutely amazingly awesome Cranberry Turkey Breast. I have been DYING for turkey and couldn’t hold out until Thanksgiving. So Publix was having a sale on some turkey breasts and scooped one up. It actually was a half turkey breast, and surprisingly perfect for 2 people + a half pint. I highly recommend making this easy, warm and fuzzy feelin’ kind of dish. And yes, turkey in the crock pot makes one feel…
Meatless Friday – 20 Minute Minestrone Soup
0The husband has been feeling under the weather the past few days and requested minestrone soup. Of course the day I plan to make it is a day where I will be out of the house the majority of the day. So how to get the best of both worlds? A pressure cooker. I know some people might be a little scared of this guy, believe me, I was to when I first tried it. In fact, I am still scared of that damn thing. It makes cooking things like soup, which normally take an hour or so to…
Super Bowl Extravaganza
0It’s the start of Suu-Suuuu-Suuuuper Bowl weekend baby! And my Giants are in it……again! That’s what I’m talkin’ bout! There is only one way to watch this game, and it’s with a party. A massive one at that. I love a good party, sometimes they can be a pain in the ass to throw because, lets be honest, cleaning up all that shit suuuuucks! But when its all said and done, I really do have a great time hosting shindigs. Parties should always have 3 great things: great food, great drinks and a great crowd. If you have that, then…
Slow Cookers Anonymous?
0My slow cooker addiction has yet to cease. Now family members know about my problem and are emailing me recipes. Enablers! Enablers! So naturally I HAVE to make them all. First on the list were Tangy Asian Meatballs from myrecipes.com. They looked easy enough and they were Asian. I could eat Asian dishes every.single.day. My husband, not so much. But surprisingly he inhaled these balls like nobody’s business. And I think he even licked the bowl…again. Tangy Asian Meatballs 1 lb ground pork 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs 3 scallions, white and light green parts only – chopped 1 large…
The Absolute Best, Lick-Your-Bowl-Clean Chili
0For Christmas, Santa brought me a slow cooker. WHY AM I JUST GETTING ONE NOW?!!?!?!??!?! I seriously am the last person on earth to get this memo. And I can’t understand why no one has told me sooner about the splendor that is El Crock Pot. It is probably the greatest appliance of all time-and I love my appliances. I can honestly say its better than the KitchenAid, immersion blender and food processor combined. Who ever invented this magical machine should have a golden statue erect of themselves so crazy bitches like myself can praise it every day. It has…
