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
These sandwiches tho. Like, for real. For REALSIES. You know I get really excited about a recipe when I start talking in slang and making up words. Because...like, for realsies. *said in my best valley girl voice!* These are the real deal. The realsies dealsies. (Ok, I'll stop.) It's partly because of the soft, shreddable beef from the slow cooker. Partly … [Read more...]

Then, once it's cooked at the end of the day, you can … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Chicken
This may look plain from the photo. (White food is hard to photograph...without adding garnishes...that I decided not to add for this one.) This may look simple. What is hard to see in the photo is the amazing amount of flavor loaded into the sauce and soaked into the chicken. Cream of mushroom + Ranch dressing mix + garlic (as much as you like!) + thicken the creamy sauce … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Greek Chicken
This slow cooker version is a spin from my Greek Chicken Bake. Both recipes are simple and fresh. With slight differences in ingredients. But the core "Greek" ingredients are there - olives, feta, lemon, oregano. My favorite thing about this slow cooker meal - it's very light and fresh. Lots and lots and lots of slow cooker meals are heavier, soupier, stewier, … [Read more...]

Slow Cooker Garlic-Orange Pork Tenderloin
So much flavor. So much. I'll be honest, I think that pork tends to be bland...and has more trouble than chicken taking of flavor. But, this slow cooker garlic-orange pork tenderloin is just magical. The slow cooker, plus the acidity from the orange juice, plus the other flavors in the marinade -- magical (and easy) dinner. This is also freezer friendly, which … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Nachos
Pardon me while I dive right into this pile of awesome. Like, literally...I just want to dive right in. In recent weeks, I've become a bit obsessed with shredded buffalo chicken...and the 782 recipes that you can use it in. Like these nachos. Or enchiladas. Or wraps. Or on top of pizza. The shredded chicken part is silly easy...chicken plus buffalo wing sauce plus Ranch … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Shredded Italian Beef Hoagies
LOVE THESE SANDWICHES SO MUCH. Sorry, sometimes I just get really excited about delicious food. Especially when it's super easy to prep (with ingredients that are normal and you probably already have in your pantry.) Like this one... Beef roast with tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and seasonings... Slow cooking the day away, then shred and assemble sandwiches. SUCH AN … [Read more...]
