Easy Crock Pot Recipes. YUM!

Crock Pot Roast

1 good sized beef roast
4 cups small Yukon yellow potatoes halved
2 1/2 cups baby carrots halved longways
1 medium red onion chopped
2 stalks celery split and chopped
One clove garlic finely chopped
1 package Taco Bell taco seasoning

Spread half of the veggies across bottom of the crock pot. Sprinkle one quarter of seasoning over veggies. Hand rub a quarter of the seasoning to top and bottom of roast and place on top of veggies. Spread remaining veggies on top of roast and sprinkle with remaining seasonings.

Start crock pot on high ... Then reduce to medium after one hour ... Cook for a while.

I'm going to be doing this tonight but adding mushrooms.

Works fine with mushrooms ... Have done it myself. You know your way around a kitchen and all cooks add a little something.





Cooking Tip:
Two spices that do not go well in a lot of dishes are rosemary and cloves. They work well in some dishes, but will absolutely ruin others.

I was gonna have green beans with this on the side, you think that would work?

Green beans from the skillet or boiled?

.

Boiled.

Try steaming them with a little butter, onion, salt and pepper.

If you don't have a steamer ... Use a pot with a small amount of water and a colander. Even if the lid doesn't fit tight ... It will still steam veggies ... Just make sure it does't run out of water.

Personally, I would skillet them with onion, butter, seasoning and the mushrooms you were going to put in the crock pot.

Crockpot chicken.

First, I pull the skin off each of the pieces of chicken.

Next, smear the pieces of chicken legs, thighs, wings, breasts, with your favorite BBQ sauce and layer the pieces inside of the crockpot.

Put on "low" for 4 hours and it will fall off the bone. (don't go longer because it will dry out the meat)

Super quick and easy.......and people rave about the taste. ..... :cool:

Can I add a bit of Chilli, to spice it up, or will it ruin it?

Hmmm. I don't see why not. Or maybe some tobasco? Might wanna add a smidge more honey so it won't be too salty with the extra "heat"? Experiment. If it tastes good in the bowl, then dump it over the thighs in the cooker. If not...play with it until it does..THEN toss it in with the chicken!
 
Maybe horseradish? Or that really hot mustard? Honey goes well with mustard.

Today's meal: Chocolate Cake and whipped cream

nyv19v.jpg


The Story:
So after the illness left my mom's arm basically paralyzed, I had to take over the kitchen, and actually start cooking and baking, hopefully without setting my house on fire. Can you say "recipe for disaster?"

So last year, my dad took my mom out, to try and cheer her up for her birthday, and out of the blue, I found my muse, in the form of this delicious cake. In the evening, it was a sight to cherich, my mom's sickly face lightening up in this delicious sweet desert.

It didn't see the next day.

Also deliciously suited for kids, too!

What you need:

1 Baking mold, 24. (I have my own baking mold, it's about 30/24, so if it's too big, put some more chocolate in)

ingredients:

200g Dark Chocolate

150g melted butter

3/4 cup of sugar

3 eggs

A little Vanilla extract

3/4 cup of flour

The cream will have:

1 box of whipped cream

Instant vanilla

1 cup of milk

1 spoon of instant coffee


50g of grated dark chocolate

What you do:

1. Melt the chocolate and butter together, take a big bowl for that.

2. Add the sugar, eggs, vanilla and flour, mix them all

3. Heat the chocolate layer on 180 for about 25 minutes.

While it's in, go on to the whipped cream:

4. Whip the cream with the instant, milk and cofee

5. Smooth it carefully on the chocolate layer, once you take it out of the oven

6. add the grated dark chocolate.

7. Put it very fast in the fridge without dipping a finger in:)
 
That looks REALLY good. Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the market. I got sidetracked in the back yard and just now finished. I'm pooped. Hot dogs for dinner tonight for us.
 
Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

4-5 chicken breasts
One can petite diced tomatoes with green chilis
2 cups chicken stock (I make my own from scratch, but you can use canned)
1 onion chopped
4 carrots peeled and sliced
1 can enchilada sauce
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp salt

Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3-4 hours until chicken is tender. Shred chicken. If the soup is too thick, you can add a cup of water.


Once soup is done, use kitchen scissors to cut 6-8 corn tortilllas into thin strips. Fry in canola oil on medium heat, drain.

Serve with tortilla strips, sliced avacado, and grated cheese.
