Guest Blogger: Fantastical Sharing of Recipes
Most of you know that I'm getting new kitchen cabinets and counter tops (eeeee!). That means my kitchen is a dysfunctional mess. That also means I won't be doing much cooking. My poor family will be stuck with Schwan's food and whatever else I can figure out that won't require much prep work. I will be using my slow cooker if it's a dump-it-in kinda recipe. So I will be having some guest bloggers to help me out. Like today. Take it away, Sarah!Hi everyone! I'm Sarah … [Read more...]

Cafe Rio Chicken
I recently ate at Costa Vida for the first time and fell in love with their Sweet Pork Salad. Then my sister-in-law told me about Cafe Rio and how good their food is. I came across this recipe from my BBF (Best Blogger Friend-yes it's such a thing, or it is now!) Holly's blog and it's so good! We ate it taco style, but you could do it as a salad as well. The most wonderful part is that it's cooked in a slow cooker. Those recipes always make me happy.Printable VersionIngredients2 lbs chicken … [Read more...]
Grandpa Gallegos’ Chile
My grandpa made the best chile. It's not chili. It's chile. Because it's Mexican food, not American. Traditionally, Chile doesn't have beans in it, just meat. But anyone in any culture tends to add lib when it comes to cooking and does what they want. We make tortillas and ham hocks and beans and eat them with this Chile. It can be frozen and that's what I love about this. A funny thing about my grandpa-he said that he'd live to 90 because that's a good age. He passed away just a few days after … [Read more...]
Pasta Fagioli Soup
I came across this recipe and just needed to try it. I love pasta. I love beans. And together, yum. This is a great winter day soup. We just got dumped on with snow. This is the kind of day I love. Nowhere to go, all cozy in my house with some blankets, a great book, and some soup. Couldn't be better. Oh, wait. And my Diet Coke. There you go. Perfect.2 cans (14.5 oz. each) beef broth1 can (16 oz.) Great Northern Beans, rinsed and drained1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes, undrained2 medium … [Read more...]
Marinated Roast
I don't know why this is called "Marinated Roast" because you don't marinate it. Maybe it marinates as it cooks in the slow cooker. Ok. Let's go with that. Whatever it is, it's delicious. The perfect roast, in my book. It is so tender and just falls apart if you cook it the way I do. Here's the trick: Put it all in the slow cooker when you go to bed and cook it on low. Then it's ready to eat at lunch the next day. We do this on Saturday night and it's ready after church. Otherwise you can put it … [Read more...]

Shredded Beef Enchiladas
I love Mexican food. I am half hispanic on my dad's side and so I grew up with this food. My grandma always had her homemade tortillas fresh off the cast iron burner when we went to visit. One snack I loved to have was a roasted Anaheim Chile pepper folded inside a tortilla. I grow those peppers in my garden just for that snack. These enchiladas are made with corn tortillas and shredded beef. I just cook the roast in my slow cooker and the rest is fast and simple. And cheesy. Also, if … [Read more...]
