Slow Cooked Fajita Meat

Slow Cooked Fajita Meat

Several months ago I asked what you like, dislike, or would like to see more of on this site. Several of you asked for more crock pot/slow cooking recipes.  I had planned on doing more of those type of recipes, but I have not tried many new crockpot recipes lately.  I have been using my crockpot, but I have been cooking the same recipes that I already have [...]

Crock Pot Chicken

A couple of weeks ago when I had crockpot chicken on the menu I had several of you ask how I make it. Well, it is not really a recipe or an exact way I make it. But here are the basics. It is really quite simple. I take a whole chicken and I rub a couple of tablespoons of oil on the skin. I [...]

Crock Pot Roast and Vegetable Tip

CP Roast 1

We like roast in our family, but roast can be time consuming and expensive to cook. For this reason the crockpot works great. The crockpot does all the work and makes the meat very tender. This lets you use cheaper cuts of meat. When I do cook roast I like to serve it with vegetables and potatoes. But I don’t like how vegetables turn out [...]

We love Mexican food. I am sure I have mentioned that many times before, but we really do eat a lot of Mexican or Mexican inspired meals. We also have a lot of pork in the freezer. So, I love meals that are both Mexican and pork. This recipe is adapted from a Taste Of Home recipe. The recipe calls for 1/2 tsp of red [...]

Crockpot Roast

crock pot beef beer

One of my favorite ways to cook cheap cuts of meat is using wine or beer to tenderize the meat. It does such a great job of tenderizing the meat. I have been using this trick for a long time. Not only does it tenderize it, it gives food an extra depth of flavor. It really adds to the overall taste of the dish. I [...]

Crockpot Barbecue Meat

Barbecue meat

I wasn’t going to do a slow cooking post today. But then when I posted my mac and cheese recipe, I realized that I had a really easy slow cooking recipe that I could post. It is so easy and it is one of my go to recipes. It is barbecue, or as my husband calls it, fake barbecue meat. You see in the part of [...]

Enchilada Chicken Soup

Last Saturday I was tired after a week of baking and cooking a lot and preparing and cleaning up from the office party. I had originally planned on going out to eat, but decided that I should just cook something at home. The trouble was I did not feel like cooking. I wanted to make something quick and easy that would not require much time [...]
