Hi Ladies! I don’t know about you, but Fall is a very busy season for me. Right now I am still going full steam ahead with graduate school (for those of you who don’t know, I’m going to be a Clinical Counselor when I grow up). So, the next few recipes I will be sharing will be crockpot recipes! Do I hear applause?

This BBQ Pulled Chicken is so moist and tender it literally flakes apart. If you’re leery about cooking chicken in the crockpot, don’t. This chicken isn’t dry at all. You’re going to love it, I promise.IMG_4857
Make your sauce by combining BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, and brown sugar.

A shout out to Sweet Baby Ray-  my favorite prepared BBQ sauce.

Place chicken breasts in crockpot. I actually use frozen and it works great. Then add your barbecue sauce.

Cook on low heat for 6 hours and pull chicken apart. You can add more Sweet Baby Ray’s to it as well. Serve on a bun or alone with your sides.

Creamy Crockpot Pork Chops

I found this delicious recipe at my local butcher’s store (shout out to Duma’s Meats! I love ya!) These Chops are officially called “Melinda’s Pork Chops” and are ohhh, so delicious and easy to make! Make sure you get a great cut of meat with bone in- otherwise you will be stuck with dry chops. If you are in my neck of the woods….go to Duma’s, no grocery store meat! 😉

Coat chops in flour, garlic powder, dry mustard and onion powder.

Stuffed Pepper Soup (Crock Pot)

November 9, 2011 · by · 27 Comments

This Stuffed Pepper Soup tastes like the “real” thing…it is so simple, yet SO satisfying. A meal in itself! Left overs are just as good…or you can take some over to your neighbor 😉

(this is a naturally allergy friendly food!)


Crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, green peppers, red peppers, vegetable and beef broth, rice ( ground beef and seasoning not shown).


Brown ground beef in a large skillet and drain.


Dice peppers- I love the combo of red and green peppers- red peppers are a bit sweet and green peppers have a deep, earthy flavor.


Add all ingredients and seasonings into a crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours. You simply add uncooked rice and it will cook inside the broth! So easy.


A wonderful soup for a chilly Fall day. It smelled just like stuffed peppers in my home!
