Do you use chopsticks when you eat Chinese food?  I do! It helps me eat slower.  Truth be told, I sometimes use chopsticks with other cuisines too (in the privacy of my own kitchen). I always have trouble with rice, but thankfully I rarely even eat the rice when I’m eating Chinese food.  I just… Continue reading Slow Cooker Broccoli Beef with Carrots

Although I’m a huge fan of pumpkin everything, my real obsession when Fall approaches is the slow cooker.  Not to say I don’t use it in the Summer (because I do!) but in the Fall I feel more confident in talking about my slow cooker obsession. I use it when guests come over, I break… Continue reading Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan Bake

I use my slow cooker all season long, in case you were wondering.

I don’t know about you, but I love rotisserie chicken.  Our local supermarket sells them for $3.99, and then a more “natural” version for $4.99.  Every once in a while I pick one up for dinner, but I always think about how much sodium I’m probably eating (and other….stuff).  I know, I know, why ruin… Continue reading Slow Cooker Lemon Pepper Chicken (Simple and Delicious)

In my next life, when I start another blog, I’ll be using WordPress.  Sorry Google, but last week was the last straw.  YOu see, I write my blog posts about a week ahead of time, then review them and add a few things on the day that I post.  This method works well for me….that… Continue reading Slow Cooker Cuban Style Chicken and Rice

You’ll probably notice that I post a lot of work on this blog.  I mean, I love it.  It’s not like I’m posting sausage and bacon pork, or pork butt, it’s pork chops usually.  They only contain about 50 mg of cholesterol in one chop and 3.5 grams of saturated fat.
