Oh, how I used to love the flavor and crunch of Chex party mix! I remember munching on it during family Christmas parties where the bottoms of pants were big, and hair and eyeglasses were even bigger. Yeah, well, thank goodness we’ve outgrown all that! Especially the…

Ginger Orange Pecans
These crunchy, salty, and sweet pecans are like a mouthful of sunshine! The bite of ginger and the freshness of the orange really brighten up the dreariest road trips. Remember to take along a few napkins for this one, as they can be a little sticky (but not too bad)….

Veggie Soup
This vibrant, nutrient-dense soup is like a classic minestrone, minus the beans and pasta. Chock full of fresh tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms, and many other veggies, it’s like a bowlful of summer on a cold winter’s day. Make an extra-large batch while the ingredients…
Roasted Tomato Bacon Soup

Chunky Chili Con Carne
I like to make this huge batch of chili in my big-boy 6-quart slow cooker because I’m sure to have leftovers for lunch the next day. If you don’t want to go quite this big, you can use your smaller cooker, but cut the recipe in half. Filled with chunks of beef and…

Mushroom Meatballs
This is another nostalgic recipe from my wonderful mom. She used to make a large pan of these mushroom meatballs to fill our tummies with a hearty, satisfying meal. We laugh a little now at the polar-opposite ingredients she used, such as elk burger for the meatballs…
Orange Sesame Ginger Pork Roast
I love throwing a handful of ingredients into the slow cooker in the morning, knowing that while I work all day, a tender, juicy, and flavorful dinner is making itself! The flavors of this pork roast are pretty hard to beat, which means that you’ll want to buy a…
Maple Peach Pork Chops
I have a hard time staying away from the slow cooker when these chops are cookin’! The aroma is so, so good—I can’t even describe it. Let’s just say that if you want the whole neighborhood to smell amazing and you don’t mind a few neighbors knocking on your door…
