I recently made another delicious dish. This one is a slow-cooker beef and mushroom recipe that I have adapted from 365 Days of Slow Cooking. Unfortunately my youngest didn't like this, but she's picky anyway. I personally could not believe how wonderful this smelled all day long and it tasted just as good as it smelled! As a matter of fact, I'm getting hungry for some right now just thinking about it. We served this dish along with mashed potatoes and a vegetable, which was perfect. I love slow cooker recipes, and this is definitely one of my favorites. It's also so easy to put … [Read more...] about Slow-Cooker Beef & Mushrooms

Thursday Recipe: Cheesy Potato Soup
I am so excited for next Thursday, because one of my favorite recipes is on the menu! I posted this last year around this time, but I don't believe you can post this recipe too many times. It is SO good! And next week I am making it especially for my sister, who will be in town and hasn't tried it before. Not only that, I'll also be making bread bowls to go with it, which only makes the yummy goodness even better! Now I'm making myself hungry... This is a great recipe for a really cold day--especially if you can stay inside and cuddle up under some covers...definitely comfort … [Read more...] about Thursday Recipe: Cheesy Potato Soup
SO Easy Crockpot Applesauce
Okay, so I just have to say, first of all, that this is one of the easiest recipes you'll ever use. I'm not kidding. Now that that's said... ...we were given free reign of a box of apples the other day. Actually, we are fortunate enough to have this opportunity just about every week, but Princess Anna has a habit of eating the apples before I can make any applesauce out of them! This time, I snagged six just for applesauce making. Now when I was younger, applesauce seemed to be such a tedious, long task. Maybe it's just because I had no concept of time, but I hated it. And I didn't … [Read more...] about SO Easy Crockpot Applesauce
Cheesy Potato Soup
I don't know how the weather has been for you, but it's been bitter here--cold, snowy, icy...you name the winter weather, we've got it. I'm well over it by this point, but what can you do? On Thursday, we beat the cold with some hot yummy goodness called Cheesy Potato Soup. I pinned this recipe from Lil' Luna quite a while back, and Thursday was the second time I made this. This is one of my family's very favorite, and I swear I could probably eat five bowls of this stuff if I weren't trying to lose weight. They're even better in bread bowls if you have the time to make them (delicious, … [Read more...] about Cheesy Potato Soup
