I hadn’t gotten around to typing this up from our last D&D night, but I think the timing is perfect–this is an awesome crockpot recipe for the holidays! I’m actually going to try these out with another jelly flavor as an appetizer for hosting Thanksgiving this year, so I’ll let you know how that goes. These crockpot jelly bbq meatballs are about the weirdest things I’ve ever seen, but they’re also one of the most delicious things I’ve ever tasted. I’m not sure who would have ever thought–grape jelly + bbq sauce, yum! But boy, am I sure glad that…

I give you: the everyday thanksgiving sandwich–named for the swap of chicken instead of turkey in this awesome fall-themed sandwich. And just in case you needed that extra push, this sandwich is about as easy as can be. Go and make this crockpot chicken and stuffing I posted last week, and then when you have too many leftovers and are bored with it–because let’s be honest, slow cookers lend themselves to that–you have this sandwich to look forward to. Slow cookers usually involve making a ton of a dish, and then no matter how delicious, you get sick of eating it…

With fall right around the corner, this is the ultimate comfort food to keep in your arsenal. Chicken and stuffing, and even green beans so that you have a full meal right out of the crock pot!

Plus there’s that whole set-it-and-forget-it aspect, as well as the fact that crock pots are the best aromatic around for your home. This is a simple recipe, with a whole 6 ingredients, but since one of those is water,…

I feel like I’ve been on a spicy kick recently. Between my jalapeño popper bread and trying some spicy BBQ sauces at Smoqued in Chicago (see my culinary adventure), I’ve been eating a bit more spicy food than I normally do, and I made buffalo mac ‘n cheese for dinner tonight! So I’m coming up in the spice world, apparently. I like this recipe because it’s really easy and simple, adapted from andiemitchell.com Perfect for making around playing Pokemon Go! Hahaha, yes, I am newly obsessed with the game, like pretty much everyone everywhere. I got a sweet vaporeon last…

I will say, now that we have a dog, I feel guilty about using my crock pot. Not enough to stop, since I know we feed Kenichi well, but it must be some form of humane torture to have the house smelling like chicken all day and not even have the consolation that you’ll get some later. Poor pup. (I don’t feel that bad for you, you little spoiled ball of cuteness.) But this recipe is a great make-ahead recipe. Perfect to make a big batch of on the weekend, and slap together a few sandwiches the day before, or…
