Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

Living in Phoenix usually means a warmer winter than what I’m used to experiencing.  We used to live up in Flagstaff with all that snow and one digit temperatures!  But no matter where we are, the chilly weather inspires warm dishes that really hit the spot!  This year we had an exceptionally short winter it…

Slow Cooker Apple Balsamic Chicken Thighs

How many of you avoid chicken thighs because you fear that they’re unhealthy? Me? Guilty. For years, I bowed at the altar of white meat. Chicken breasts only. But over time, I started to figure out a few things. Like moderation. And that in a slow cooker, dark meat is SO MUCH BETTER. Why? It…

Crock Pot Hawaiian Chicken

Crock Pot Hawaiian Chicken

  My husband and I often create different variations of Hawaiian-style chicken. It’s simple, scrumptious, and always has a perfect flavor combination. If you’re anything like my husband (who is part Hawaiian), you grew up eating at places like L&L, or maybe a local Hawaiian BBQ spot. I’ve always loved the food at those types…

Spicy {Slow Cooker} Sweet Potato and Chicken Stew

After a surprisingly dry and hot summer here in Northwest Washington, today the skies opened up and we had a downpour that was insane.

Slow Cooker Barbacoa Beef

A while back I was in Chipotle (don’t even get me started on how much I LOVE that place) and I found myself looking at something on the menu I didn’t recognize…barbacoa. My first thought was that it was fish. But I wanted to find out, so I asked the guy making my salad –…
