Slow Cooker Lemon & Garlic Chicken
It's really unfortunate that photos can't communicate taste. And flavor infusion. Because seriously, I can taste the lemon and garlic flavors that infused perfectly into the chicken and the potatoes...just looking at the photo.

Slow Cooker Peach Glazed Pork Roast
So I happened upon some $1.49/lb pork roast recently. I bought 2 roasts last month...one to use that week I bought them and another for the freezer. I got to talking to the butcher at the store while she was weighing and packaging up the roasts. I told her that I was surprised at the price, as I hadn't seen that great of a price in a long while. She, too, was … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Cilantro-Lime Shredded Chicken

This makes "Mexican StackEs," chicken tacos and other favorite chicken meals all that much faster to get on the table. (More on how to cook a whole chicken.) For this chicken, I used what I had on hand in the freezer. I dropped a package of chicken breasts and a package of … [Read more...]
