Slow Cooker Honey Mustard Pulled Chicken
Slow Cooker Honey Mustard Pulled Chicken is my new favorite recipe! It’s a slow cooker recipe so get ready to set it, forget it, and have a yummy meal waiting for you. I love honey mustard when paired with chicken, chicken tenders specifically, but shredded chicken slathered in a honey mustard sauce isn’t too bad either 😊 The chicken is tender and juicy and is paired with a perfect sweet and tangy sauce. Serve as a sandwich, on top of a salad, over rice with veggies, on top of mashed potatoes with some steamed veggies, etc. It can also be enjoyed as is. The recipe can be found here. Start by placing the boneless skinless chicken breasts in the bowl of a slow cooker. This recipe is for boneless skinless chicken, but you can use another variety if you prefer (i.e., chicken thighs) but you may need to adjust the cook time. Add the honey, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, melted … Continue reading

Taco ‘bout a good time!
Cinco de Mayo is coming soon – it’s Friday, May 5th. Cinco de Mayo quite literally means the 5th of May in Spanish so it’s easy to keep track of the date 😊 If you aren’t familiar, here are 3 fun facts about Cinco de Mayo, 1) it’s not Mexico’s Independence Day, 2) it’s not a national holiday in Mexico, 3) it celebrates Mexico’s victory against Imperial France. As you can see, it’s a relatively minor holiday that is celebrated regionally in Mexico….and pretty much everywhere in the United States. In Puebla, Mexico it is celebrated with parades, parties, music, folk dancing, and traditional foods. In the United States, it’s celebrated with Mexican food. Are you sensing a theme to my blog post? I’m going to share fun Mexican fares to enjoy for Cinco de Mayo or anytime you are craving Mexican food. Here’s my lineup: Homemade Flour Tortillas Slow Cooker Shredded Salsa Chicken Spicy Grilled Queso Chunky Guacamole Mexican Fried … Continue reading

Slow Cooker Chicken Philly Cheesesteak
Slow Cooker Chicken Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches are loaded with tender chicken, bell peppers, and onions, piled high on a hoagie roll and covered in melted cheese. It’s a tasty meal that’s easy to make! I think it’s perfect on a cold winter night or on a busy weekend because your slow cooker is doing most of the work. The recipe can be found here. Start by placing the chicken in a slow cooker. I recommend using boneless skinless chicken breasts but if you prefer to use chicken thighs, make sure to trim some of the fat off first. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Season to taste. I tend to add more garlic powder because we love the flavor. Pour the chicken broth over the top and cover. Cook on LOW for 4-5 hours. Add the bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Cover and cook on LOW for an additional 1 ½ – 2 hours or until the … Continue reading

Slow Cooker Loaded Baked Potato Soup
Slow Cooker Loaded Baked Potato Soup is my new favorite soup. It’s rich, creamy, and loaded with the perfect toppings. It’s a made from scratch soup but it’s SO SIMPLE, so please keep reading. It’s hearty, can be a main entrée or served as a side dish/starter, reheats well so it can be enjoyed for lunch throughout the week, and makes a lot. When I first thought about making a baked potato soup, I thought this is just going to be like eating mashed potatoes. But it’s not! It has all the flavors of mashed potatoes but with a different consistency. It’s yummy and perfect for this time of you. The recipe can be found here. Start by washing and peeling the potatoes. I prefer to peel my potatoes but if you like to leave the skin on, that’s just fine. Then, slice into 1-2-inch pieces. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Chicken Apple Chili
With the low temperatures we’ve had lately I want to hunker down and have a hot meal after work. Chicken Apple Chili is my new favorite go-to meal! It’s a bit non-traditional but is very easy to assemble, is light and refreshing, and is the perfect fall meal. Plus, it comes together in just a few hours (set it and forget it) so you aren’t waiting 4-8 hours like traditional chili. The recipe can be found here. You need a slow cooker for this one-pot recipe. Add all ingredients to the bowl of the slow cooker, except the apples, and stir together. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours. Serve with chopped apples on top. Easy peasy! The only real effort you need to put into this recipe is chopping the veggies. I also like to use rotisserie chicken in this recipe. It’s pre-cooked and reduced the amount of … Continue reading
