Everyday Food for Busy People
I love a good slow cooker recipe, especially one that has just 4 ingredients.
This has the flavors of Southwest Beef Rolls, but it’s much easier. A box of cornbread stuffing mix and can of tomatoes with green chilis make the recipe more like assembling and less like cooking. I’m all about easy, so that works for me! [Read more...]

I have a LOT on my plate during any given day:
By the time dinner rolls around, I’m pretty beat. I don’t want to spend much time in the kitchen at the end of a tiring day, and yet I don’t want to pay a hefty price for carry-out food. My solution? Quick, easy, and inexpensive pantry meals. [Read more...]
We rarely eat steak. It’s more of a money issue than anything else. Yesterday I bought this round steak at the store. Sure, it’s not NY Strip or fillet mignon (my fav) but it’s still beef on the grill.
I decided to do a quick marinade and rub with red wine vinegar and homemade seasoned salt. The steak tasted as flavorful as it was quick to fix.
This is a bit of a tangent, but I’m loving the homemade seasoned salt. It’s perfect on all kinds of foods. You’ll see more recipes in the future (like tomorrow) that feature this new favorite seasoning.
I printed this off the web so many years ago, that I can’t remember where it came from exactly. Everything gets tossed in the slow cooker together. Super easy. I love a good crockpot meal!
Here’s what you’ll need:
I’m not sure why I never thought of doing this before. It was so quick and simple. My boys were very happy and the rest of us liked the subs too. I used frozen meatballs and a jar of spaghetti sauce, so it just can’t get any easier. Perfect for a busy night. [Read more...]
So, I made up a new soup recipe. I wanted a beef vegetable soup that I could just throw the ingredients in the crockpot and let it all cook together. Most of the beef vegetable soups I’ve seen involve cooking the beef first and then adding it to the soup. I was feeling too lazy for that. Here’s what I came up with. Substitute as needed.

I really liked this Smothered Steak. One of my foodie resolutions was to cook with fresh mushrooms. They aren’t my favorite food, but I’ve been trying to learn to like them. They were good in this dish and easy to cook with.
This recipe makes enough that, depending on your family size, you can probably eat dinner the night you make it and still put some in the freezer for later. I froze the whole recipe. The gravy was so smooth and nice when I first made it, but it separated a bit in the freezing/reheating process. It still tasted great though. [Read more...]
This is so good and easy. A delicious Mexican meal that cooks in a crockpot – 2 of my favorite things. I adapted the recipe from The Ungourmet.
Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]
I found this recipe stuck in my tattered recipe binder, jotted on a calendar page from 1998. I used to make it quite a bit, but somehow forgot about it. I’m glad that I found it again, because it’s really easy and good. [Read more...]
Is there a food blogger out there who has seen the movie Julie and Julia who has not felt a burning desire to whip up a pot of Beef Bourguignonne? And no wonder! This was amazing!
It made me very happy to see that this is the recipe for the last Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner challenge. The recipe the NCBA shared with us can be found here. I combined several recipes in cooking up my version. Ever since seeing the movie, Julie and Julia, I’d wanted to adapt this recipe for the crockpot. Stephanie O’dea beat me to it on her blog, A Year of Crockpotting. I thought about using the slow cooker anyway, but ran out of time today to do it.
