Fast forward five recipe attempts later, and here we are. The best, most foolproof, no-noodle, low-carb lasagna recipe you will ever (and I mean EVER) find!

This Chinese take-out favorite is so easy to make at home, right in your crock pot. The tender beef simmers in a homemade sauce that is so incredibly flavorful. Throw in the broccoli the last 30 minutes and then dinner is ready to be devoured. I served ours over a bed of white rice and it was nothing short of amazing!

It has minimal ingredients and the chicken cooks to tender and juicy perfection in the creamy mushroom sauce.  I did use a can of cream of chicken soup but if you have some extra time you can make my homemade cream of chicken soup.   The sauce is so easy and creamy and perfect with some noodles tossed inside.

I loved the flavor in the creamy sauce and the mushrooms hidden throughout were awesome.  This made the perfect meal for my family and is so simple we will make it again and again!

Slow Cooker Chicken and Mushroom Stroganoff

This is not an authentic Greek dish (as far as I know!) but it is made using classic Greek ingredients. The beauty of this is that it is all made in one pot / pan. Cooking the rice with the chicken on top adds extra flavour to the rice because the chicken juices get soaked up by the rice. MARINATING TIME: 20 minutes to overnight.

I want to say the star of this dish is the chicken. But that would be lying to you. Because this, my friends, is all about the RICE! This is a fantastic Greek Chicken recipe for busy weeknights because it’s so fast to prepare and it’s all made in one pot. Seriously! Watch the recipe video to see how easy it is!

BBQ Meatballs.. easy to make in the crock pot, this recipe only takes 3 ingredients and 5 minutes to prep! Doesn’t get better than that.

These crock pot grape jelly meatballs are a family favorite. They are seriously so good and the perfect appetizer for game day! They almost remind me of sweet and sour meatballs but taste better! My Grandpa has been making them for years and we always loved them growing up. My sister even talked him into making them as an appetizer at her wedding. Everyone loved them! Now of course my family has their actual “homemade meatballs” which are amazing and I’ll have to that recipe soon. The best part about these bbq meatballs is no one would ever know they were so simple to make. You could even turn them into a main dish and serve them over sticky rice. YUM!

Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing

The holidays are coming, and that means it’s time to start thinking aboüt holiday meals. And one item that seems to find its way onto most holiday tables is mashed potatoes. They’re sort of the ültimate comfort food—soft and creamy and jüst generally yümmy.

Every family has its own version of this holiday treat. Some like it whipped extra smooth, while some prefer a chünkier “smashed” potato. And each family has its own favorite add-ins: soür cream and chives, bütter and salt, cheddar cheese and paprika.

My version depends on two things: my crockpot, and Coüntry Crock spread. So yoü coüld say it’s a two-crock dish.

Slow Cooker Macaroni and Cheese

Wonderfully light, healthy and nutritious. And it’s so easy to make – even the quinoa is cooked right in the pan!


Despite my daily 3-mile runs, all the morning donuts have finally caught up with me. So Jason and I made a pact to lighten up our diet before our Cabo trip in 6 weeks. But instead of eating bland, boring salads, I decided to make a fun, healthy quinoa dish that we would both really enjoy.
And that’s exactly what this quinoa dish is. With a fun Mexican twist, this dish is chockfull of so many amazing flavors, from the tangy lime juice to the hint of spiciness from the chili powder and jalapeno. And not only is this healthy and nutritious but it’s also unbelievably easy to make. Simply throw everything into the skillet and that’s it. Even the quinoa is cooked right in the pan, really letting the flavors soak in.

Now who said healthy food has to be boring?

  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 avocado, halved, seeded, peeled and diced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves

DIRECTIONS:

  2. Stir in quinoa, vegetable broth, beans, tomatoes, corn, chili powder and cumin; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until quinoa is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Stir in avocado, lime juice and cilantro.

ONE PAN MEXICAN QUINOA

Crisp-tender chicken in the most amazing cream sauce ever. It’s so good, you’ll want to guzzle down the sauce!


I know Thanksgiving is in a few days but I just needed a break from all the turkey-stuffing-sweet potato-brussels sprouts taste testing and try something fun with something completely unrelated to Thanksgiving. Like chicken.
But this is definitely not your ordinary chicken dish. It’s better. Way better. After all, how can you go wrong with a sun dried tomato cream sauce with the most crisp chicken thighs?

The cream sauce is just so good, you’ll actually want to just skip the chicken and eat the sauce with a spoon instead!
