Okay. I’ll admit it. Little Miss Can’t-Follow-Directions (that would be me) changed grandma’s recipe a bit while trying to “healthify” it. Grandma got it from Kellogg’s, but I didn’t even use anything Kellogg’s. Maybe next time, grandma…

Chicken a la Mike

For my crock pot meal this week…. This recipe is from my mom’s friend, Mike. The man is an amazing chef. I can’t believe I’ve never posted it before. If you want to serve food that tastes like it came from a restaurant but don’t have time to fix it–let the crock pot get your back on [...]
Finding grandma’s recipes

I visited my dad this weekend on the farm where I grew up. My grandmother’s house droops in shambles, full of mouse poop, a former shadow of itself on the now deserted farm. Empty and haunting, I remembered movement and the smell of constant meals wafting from her stove, served on the grey table at [...]
Alabama syle collard greens
Posted in Meat AND veggies, tagged Collard greens, crock pot, growing from the garden, military wife, slow cooker on December 3, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Well, here it is. The collard greens I planted out back are finally harvested! Beautiful, green and tender. (I did have to mix some in from the community garden since my little back yard garden produced such a small amount.) A recipe from the kitchen of an Alabamian who moved to Kentucky…
Irish oatmeal

My new friend, Peggy, says to me,”Oh, you use your crock pot, do ya? Have you tried making Irish oats in it yet?” “I didn’t know you could make oatmeal in the crock pot,” I answer. “Oh, yeah. Who wants to stand there stirring the milk all day waiting for it to warm up?” Peggy [...]
Collard greens update!

Just showing off my babies. These are the ones I planted in the backyard, and they don’t all get an equal amount of sun or as much sun I’d like them to. Some are doing better than others. But they are refusing to give up! Take a look at what will soon end up in [...]

Still trying to use up those pears from the back yard before the “season” ends!
Cornbread in the crock pot

There is nothing like warm, buttermilk cornbread pulled out of the oven on a cold day. Would it be possible in the crock pot? I decided to experiment.
Lentil soup with ham…

I had to cook dinner in a pinch and didn’t have much on hand, but lentils. I should have used Alison’s recipe she offered me last time, but I didn’t have access to the laptop. I’m getting awfully dependent on this thing! So, I tried one with ham since my last one had no flavor. [...]
