    Crock Pot Stuffing with Sausage and Apples

    October 20, 2021 by Lindsay 11 Comments

    One of the most delicious versions of classic Thanksgiving stuffing made in a slow cooker! Just 10 delicious ingredients cooked for a few hours while you make the rest of your Thanksgiving dinner. This is a great dish to prep in advance and take to a friendsgiving, too!

    We've definitely talked about this before, but where do we fall on turkey vs sides at Thanksgiving? I am Team Side Dishes all the way - I like turkey OK, but honestly side dishes are my favorite thing about Thanksgiving, hands down.

    I've worked on stuffing recipes for years, and I think for me the key is a good ratio of crusty bread to buttery drizzle - no mushy bread, no mealy texture, actual delicious, buttery bread cubes with flavorful ingredients mixed in.

    Easy Crockpot Butter Chicken

    May 12, 2021 by Lindsay 14 Comments

    Indian butter chicken in a slow cooker! This super delicious crockpot chicken curry has just 10 ingredients and no searing or extra chopping. The end result is luscious, creamy, delicious butter chicken with hardly any effort.

    Hello, HELLO. I have been dying to tell you about this, 90s-sitcom-drama style.

    The thing about Indian curry dishes is that they are not known for their ease of making. The really good ones have lots of ingredients, whole spices, hours of simmering, and generally lots of things that making cooking really fun, in my opinion.

    BUT. Sometimes we want curry tonight. Now. Fast. Not a lot of fuss. The crockpot is an ideal cooking vessel for long-cooked stuff that needs time to develop flavors, and I love it because it can (probably, mostly) be left on while we leave the house or wander off to do other things. No checking, stirring, adjusting liquid levels, just easy crockpot chicken curry with 10 ingredients.

    Crock Pot Tortellini Chicken Soup

    March 9, 2021 by Lindsay 16 Comments

    One of our favorite all-the-time slow cooker soups, tortellini chicken soup! This is a super easy, all-in-one dish with pasta, chicken, and spinach. There's no searing, hardly any chopping, just one Crock Pot, a few hours of waiting, and dinner is done! This is not terrible at ALL with some homemade focaccia with pizza dough for dunking.

    Hello and hi and here's dinner!

    bowl of tortellini chicken soup

    I absolutely can't believe it, but almost exactly one year ago my sister and brother in law came over and brought dinner, a slow cooker tortellini situation with chicken and tomatoes and cream. It was delicious.

    We joked about how school would probably be cancelled starting that Monday (they're both teachers), joked about handwashing, joked about...everything.

    About 36 hours later the entire world shut down and we didn't see each other for months.

    Super Easy Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings (with gnocchi!)

    November 21, 2017 by Lindsay 7 Comments

    Crockpot Chicken Gnocchi Soup is just like chicken and dumplings with gnocchi as the dumplings! I use bone in, skin on chicken pieces for tons of flavor, but any chicken you have or like works perfectly in this great make ahead winter slow cooker recipe. Make a super easy kale salad to go with this if you'd like!

    best chicken and gnocchi dumplings

    Because literally no one that I know has time to make dumplings this time of year, and I know people who cook a lot. I cook a lot!

    But sometimes cooking to eat is different than long laborious project meals, which are SO much fun but also this time of year maybe not so much. BUT (imma see if I can start every sentence with that word), we still obviously want the food that tastes like it took 8 hours and a touch of your sanity to create, you know? At least I do. Food that cooks for a long time tastes wonderful, has deep flavors, and is so comforting when it's a stew or soup like this is.

    Foods like slow cooker chicken and dumplings with GNOCCHI for a little "open package, dump in" energy.

    Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken

    May 11, 2017 by Lindsay 1 Comment

    This slow cooker bbq chicken is so easy and delicious! It's one of our favorite recipes for easy weeknight meal prep and can be used with chicken thighs or chicken breasts - use whatever you have! This can be made with the easy homemade barbecue sauce recipe below or your favorite storebought barbecue sauce!

    Because summer! 

    I've probably mentioned here before that Jay's favorite sauce is barbecue.  A cross between tang and sweet, but he'll use the dark red bottled stuff in a pinch.  I think that stuff is gross (always too sweet, never spicy), but I do like making my own easy homemade bbq sauce, especially in the summer.  

    This recipe is nothing earth-shattering, but dumping a bunch of stuff in a slow cooker and letting a sauce form while chicken cooks is a killer trick to have at the end of the school year when you're so.close. to the finish line and it's getting warm and no one has any motivation but also you still need to eat dinner, you know?

    Weeknight dinner ideas, I'm here for all of them. 

    So here goes.  Stuff gets dumped in with chicken, you go finish a project that your kid forgot about until just this instant, then you eat a BBQ chicken sandwich because you've earned it.  Add a beer or 4 and call it a night.
