Chicken Spaghetti

I taught my dumb-pot crock-pot a new trick.  I love chicken spaghetti, but the way I was taught to make it involved frying the chicken first, and if I see fried chicken . . . it disappears.  Besides, that’s a lot of work.  So, I figured out an easier way. I buy the flash frozen, [...]

Crockpot Applesauce

Remember when I made applesauce and canned it last January?  Ooooooh!  That was some mighty delicious applesauce.  And pretty easy to make.  Of course I complicated things by canning the results. (We ate all that applesauce up way before it would have spoiled w/o canning.)  But still, it’s an easy and cheap way to get [...]

Let Them Eat . . . Beans

I recently revised my bean recipe to accomodate our new dietary limits.  I can’t remember how I used to cook the beans long ago because I’ve slept since then.  But recently I have been adding tomato sauce and chili powder, both no-nos on the Feingold plan.

Pudding is Wonderful and Smartpot is Dumb!

Y’all remember when I was so excited because Crockpot was gonna replace my stoopid ol’ broken Smarty-Pants-Pot?  How long ago was that?  Not very. Two weeks ago to the day!  And today?  It broke!  Smartpot.  (rolls eyes)  I think not. Really,  the Crockpot company ought to replace this replacement, but I just don’t need anymore [...]

White Chili

My personal challenge is to round up a good variety of recipes (esp. suppers) (esp. crockpot recipes) that have no tomatoes or peppers of any kind, not even chili powder. Those of you who don’t know why I’m doing that or what on earth I’m talking about can click here and get up to speed. [...]
