slow cooker root beer brisket recipe

Did you know that I have a brand spankin' new Facebook page? I do. It is so cute, it hurts. I realized that making a Facebook fan page so-cute-that-it-hurts was above my skill set, so I did what any girl would do, I hired out. (The girls at Tarte are amazing. I highly recommend them.) I went to my Facebook page to answer a reader question, and imagine my surprise when I found this gorgeousness in place of my sad and tired old one. There she was, all pretty and organized, and best of all - … [Read more...]

slow cooker lasagna recipe

I don't know why people think that lasagna is hard to make. Even when making it the traditional way, it is really all about assembling. This version is made in the slow cooker, and it could not be easier. I made this one as simply as I could. Cheese, pasta, and, sauce. Throw it in the slow cooker at lunch time, and then you have a comforting home cooked meal. I used regular lasagna noodles, not the no-boil kind. The key to making sure that the noodles cook is to add a lot of moisture. So make … [Read more...]

slow cooker bbq chicken sandwich recipe

This month Lazy Susan is tackling the idea of slow cooked. I stumbled upon this recipe in Southern Living Magazine, and even though it has quite a few parts, I knew that it would be worth making. I was right. If you just make the chicken component, you will have found a great recipe that has a million uses. But adding the pickled peppers and onions are what make this recipe for me. I love the crunch and texture that it adds to this sandwich. I made a simple, sweet vinaigrette and tossed with … [Read more...]

wine marinated pot roast recipe

Is it cold where you are?  This week has proven to me that I am out of practice when it comes to cold weather.  I had to buy my first real pair of shoes in 4 years a few days ago.  I have lived in flip flops and ballet slippers for so long that I forgot that shoes were a necessity.  And jackets.  And layers.  This California (by way of NJ, SC, NC, NS, etc.) girl is not used to 37 degree weather any more.  I am in for a rude awakening, or so I have been told by Kansas natives.  I like … [Read more...]

slow cooker apple butter recipe

Now that fall is starting to make an appearance, I want my house to smell warm and spicy.  Making a batch of slow cooker apple butter is the best way I know to permeate my home with the smells of fall.  Apple, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves make me want to put on a chunky sweater and watch football.  Well, almost.  How about me get comfy on the couch with a good book while the kids and my husband watch football.  That sounds better. Apple butter is delicious spread on some toast, but … [Read more...]
