    Starting off with the crockpot and finishing off with the broiler/oven

    Yes this is a good idea to give it that crisp taste and texture. I am finding that if I do this with our crockpot meals that hubby is more accepting of them. He just had to have that crisp effect! It does not take long to accomplish either!

    Loaded Baked Potato Soup Recipe for the Slow Cooker

    Thank you for this recipe. I am bookmarking it right now. I love baked potatoes and baked potato soup sounds right up my alley on these cold winter days. Since the ground hog saw his shadow and we will have more cold weather this will be good to make on one of those rushed hectic days.

    Picky Eaters

    Guess what kmommy37 I am loving your support! Thank you so much. Hubby is out of work right now and I am working from home. He is taking care of the cooking. I don't have to worry about him being picky about something because he is cooking. Some days he makes a huge mess but he is getting...

    Freezer Meals for the Crock Pot

    Does anyone here create freezer meals that go directly to the crockpot? I have seen a few Pins on Pinterest concerning this and I am thinking of trying them. The Pins show several different meals that the person shops for and as soon as she gets home she gets all of the ingredients ready and...

    Picky Eaters

    Thank you and I don't see it as malicious at all. I feel the same way. We go back and forth on everything. His main problem is that he wants everything fried... I love fried food but we are both trying to lose weight, not gonna happen with fried food. I rarely fry anything and when I do I...

    Picky Eaters

    Thank you so much. I have tried to get him in on the meal planning. He always wants something complicated that will take forever to make. I did make some bbq chicken a few days ago that he liked but that kind of response is few and far between. I have left the cooking up to him quiet often...

    Is there anyone into canning?

    There are lots of good videos on YouTube. I would also recommend getting the Ball Book of Canning. Here is a link: http://www.amazon.com/Ball-Blue-Book-Guide-Preserving/dp/0972753702/ref=sr_1_3/184-9615113-0332943?ie=UTF8&qid=1385164158&sr=8-3&keywords=ball+book+canning As you can see by the...

    Is there anyone into canning?

    I have two canners and I enjoy canning veggies and jams and jellies. Nothing like smelling apple butter cook all day long in the crock pot and then can it up to store up for the winter. Does anyone else here on the board can their produce or meat? Lets share tips!

    Preserving Food (Drying Methods)

    I enjoy dehydrating my veggies, herbs and fruits. We have also dehydrated jerky before. I think out of it all pineapple is the best dehydrated followed by basil. Fresh basil dehydrated and added to a meatloaf mixture or turkey burgers is wonderful! Thanks for the link.

    Sugared Pecans or Walnuts Crockpot Recipes

    Wow this is awesome! I remember my aunt use to make candied peanuts every Christmas and it always seemed to take so long. That could have been because I was very little at the time but this process seems simple and easy.

    Tacos In A Crock Pot?

    I have heard of people cooking meatloaves in a crockpot before but I have never tried it. Making sure the meat is done is first priority for me. I hope you find lots of inexpensive meals to prepare in your crockpot! We use leftovers all the time. Lunch the next day is always yummy with...

    Tacos In A Crock Pot?

    I have never actually put raw ground meat in the crock pot for my tacos. I always brown my meat in the frying pan first and drain all of the grease. I then add all of the ingredients and let it warm up in the crockpot. I don't see anything wrong with the texture. I do mix mine with precooked...

    Slow-Cooked Orange Chicken Crockpot Recipe

    I would say that you could. It would be tangy instead of having the sweetness of the oj. I was going to snap a picture but I forgot. It was very good and we like it. We are going to have it again. I am going to leave the mushrooms out next time around though (not big mushroom eaters here)...
