Fall is here, and as the days get shorter, the temperature gets colder, and the nights get fuller with after-school activities, the slow cooker once again becomes my go-to partner in the kitchen for getting my family fed.
I know I’ve said this before but those pre-cooked rotisserie chickens available in the deli section of almost every grocery store are lifesavers for busy working moms like me. Besides being inexpensive, quick, easy and very versatile, as an added bonus my kids love chicken. Personally, I like the versatile part because it lets me get creative in the kitchen without a ton of extra cooking steps.
Chicken fingers are a staple in our lives. Whether it’s the drive-thru version, the boxed kind or the quick-fix homemade kind, chicken fingers are my kids' favourite.
The weather has been fantastic lately and when it feels like spring outside, I start to sweet-talk my husband into firing up the BBQ.
My kids love hamburgers, but did you know that you can make homemade burgers in the same amount of time that it takes to try and separate frozen boxed hamburgers from each other?
Best of all, when you make your own, you can stuff them with anything you want!
I make this dinner often because you put all of the fixings in one crock pot and there is no browning of the beef required (one less pot to wash = win!).
This recipe is my father’s but I have spent more than a few attempts trying to measure out into actual measurements his “little of this, little of that, a bit of wine for the soup, a bit of wine for me” approach to cooking.
The end result is a soup that is so easy to make, tastes fantastic and is definitely company-worthy.
