I love a good peppermint mocha. It tastes like the holidays in a cup. It just does. The peppermint and the chocolate are a lovely pair together What I don't love is spending $6.01 to buy a cup of PM. That's how much my "high maintenance" order is at Starbucks. I can rattle my order off pretty quickly and I was told recently "we have a new hire and we need you to slow down … [Read more...]
Best Italian Shredded Beef Sandwiches

Slow Cooker Peaches and Cream Cobbler
Would it be okay to just eat this for dinner? It's got fruit. And bread. And milk. It seems balanced enough. Right?!? I may or may not have been eating this stuff right out of the slow cooker.

Tip for slow cooking fish: remove any skin and then add to the whole fish into the sauce in the slow … [Read more...]

To.Die.For. This has got to be the easiest lasagna I've ever made. Like ever. Why? Because there is no pre-cooking anything. No pre-boiling noodles. No browning ground beef or sausage. Just a little mixing of the homemade sauce (yes, you could use pre-made marinara instead) and mixing up of the cheese layers. Layer it all into your slow cooker, like you would into a … [Read more...]
