Making a ham in the slow cooker is the epitome of “set it and forget it” but most people still assume you spent all day slaving over a hot stove whenever you put any kind of roast on the dinner table. But as with all of my company-worthy Canned Soup Mom Recipes the simplicity of this Slow Cooker Balsamic Maple Glazed Ham Recipe will be our little secret!
Simply toss your ham into the slow cooker.
Mix up the balsamic vingear, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard.
The days are getting shorter and colder and that means it’s time for lazy evenings by the fire and steaming bowls of stick-to-your bones soup. The only problem - besides dealing with kids’ snowsuits and missing mittens - is just because the snow is here and all I feel like doing is hibernating, it doesn’t mean our evenings are getting any less busy. But on the rare occasion where we actually have an evening at home, this soup is fast, easy, and the perfect cold-weather meal.
My whole family loves Mexican food. Whether it’s tacos, nachos, burritos, Mexican has always been a fave. Now, thanks to these fun, new Kraft Dinner Macaroni and Cheese options we can add my Fiesta Mac and Cheese recipe to the list!
Are you guilty of changing the names of meal items in order to get your kids to eat their dinner? I know I am. Homemade Macaroni and Cheese becomes “cheesy pasta” and parmesan cheese becomes “shakey-shake” (because you get to shake it!) and then of course there are these Minecraft Pork Chops.
When my son started asking for pork chops for dinner, I had absolutely no idea where he had even gotten the idea. I don't think I have ever actually made a pork chop and, in fact, I don't even remember eating them growing up. It turns out that he came up with the idea all on his own while playing, what else—Minecraft.
I've always loved cabbage rolls, but I've never actually made them. Why? Because spending my time wrapping each individual cabbage roll seems like a heck of a lot of work, especially for something that is readily available at my local market. The funny thing is, my kids don't actually like their cabbage rolls in nice neat bundles, and when I heat theirs up, I put them in bowls and cut them up making the perfect rolls into a sloppy mess.
I started a diet. I know, I know — starting a diet is a food blogger's greatest sin — but it was time. Essentially, this diet is helping me get my healthy eating on track and programming my body not to give into every single craving I have.
I will admit, I am not always a big fan of leftovers. Unless they are well received in my children's lunchboxes the next day or I figure out a way to re-purpose them, leftovers sometimes languish in the back of my fridge (unless it's something chocolate and then it doesn't stand a chance).
Lasagna is a staple recipe in any kitchen. Whether you're looking for a crowd pleasing family-friendly meal everyone will enjoy, an addition to your freezer meal repertoire or something to take to a friend when they need it the most, lasagna is almost always the answer.
My kids and I love salmon but my husband wouldn't eat it if his life depended on it. In fact the only way he'll eat fish at all is if it's white and has been deep-fried until it's mostly batter and oil and comes with a side of fries.
