As you have probably figured out by now, I love to be able to throw something in the slow cooker and forget about it... I also love Mexican (or really Tex-Mex) type foods. A friend posted this one (one of those 30-second videos) on Facebook a couple of weeks ago and I have been salivating about it ever since. When I finally sat down and looked at the recipe, really it was all kinds of wrong. [ 410 more words ]

I love shrimp, actually adore it. But I cannot cook it or handle it raw myself. So whenever I am really craving it, I go out to eat. Alas, that is not an option this month because of this Cook 90 Challenge. So I called my Mom and asked if she didn't mind helping me by assisting on this dinner prep. [ 313 more words ]

I have fond memories of summer time spent in Kentucky with my maternal grandparents. Waking up insanely early to wafting smells from the kitchen and coming downstairs to the small round table with my Gramps on one side with his iced coffee (really, back then that was so weird) and my Granny with her hot steaming cup of coffee and watching her put in her Coffeemate (which was powder) and how different they were.

My dad and I shared a love of food and spending time together in the kitchen. One of his favorite and most famous recipes was his pesto. Loved by all and often requested, this is now his grandson's (age 11) favorite dish and he makes it on his own. Incidentally, he has been making it on his own since about age 8 and will eat this fresh from the 'nart with a spoon. [ 248 more words ]

When it's cold, I just want to break out the slow cooker and make soups, stews, chilis, or all of the above. This one seemed easy enough and combined all the starchy goodness of potatoes and sweet corn and had smokey bacon for good measure. Originally, it only wanted a quart of stock, but alas, that was not enough for the amount of vege in the cooker. [ 261 more words ]

More Cook90 deliciousness

I’m always fascinated and intrigued by one-pot and one-pan meals and pin them every.single.time when I see them on Pinterest. I’m a sucker. Inevitably, I end up dirtying more pans and m…

Cold weather means more soups and stews

Chicken and dumplings – the great controversy. Are the dumplings supposed to be rolled or dropped? Well, I think this is based on where you were raised, honestly. Funny enough, my family is f…

Before there was Chex Mix...

I know. You are looking at the title of this recipe and scratching your head. Back in the 70’s, my aunt (whom I am named for) started making this snack and it was named for the nuts (the Chee…
