Festival Foods sells these wonderful extra meaty baby back pork ribs. They are approximately 3lbs per package and have the most tender meat.

The meat falls right off the bone and melts in your mouth. If you like ribs, you must try these recipes!

Apple Pickings
As colder weather sets in you are probably looking for something warm and filling to satisfy your cravings. It is apple season (so move over pumpkin spice) and I think apple is one of the best flavors of the season because it pairs well with many dishes. There are so many varieties of apples you are sure to find one that is your favorite and tastes great on a salad, or in a sandwich, or perhaps baked into a dessert. I like to create new recipes each fall that are themed around apples and have a few to share with you today: Slow Cooker Apple Cider Chicken & Apple Melts with Honey Mustard Gouda, Apple & Bacon Naan Flatbread Caramel Apple Cupcakes Slow Cooker Apple Cider is completely homemade. The base is water, you add chopped fruit and some mulling spices, turn on the slow cooker, and forget it overnight. Your house will … Continue reading

Slow Cooker Shredded Thai Curry Chicken
Slow cooker meals are great for any time of year. Simply set it and forget it and you have a tasty meal that is hearty, filling, and will feed the whole family. That’s what my recipe for Slow Cooker Shredded Thai Curry Chicken is…. simple but delicious. The chicken is braised in a coconut-curry mixture and is moist and tender. The coconut-curry is Thai style with a base of coconut milk, onions, peppers (spicy), sugar (sweet), fish sauce (tangy), and lime juice (citrus)…it’s like a flavor explosion in your mouth. You then finish the dish with fresh herbs and serve it over a bed of rice. The recipe can be found here. Start by placing the chicken in the bowl of the slow cooker. Top with the coconut milk, curry powder, fish sauce (or you can substitute soy sauce), lime juice, brown sugar, green onions, red onion, jalapeno, garlic, and ginger. Cover and cook on LOW … Continue reading

Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken
Are you ever hosting a party or having a few guests over for dinner but don’t know what to serve? I always struggle with what to cook because I want my guests to enjoy the meal but also want time to socialize and not be stuck in the kitchen. Pulled chicken or pulled pork is always a good option. You can prepare it in the slow cooker so it’s no fuss, it feeds a crowd, and is great to serve for a build-your-own-sandwich bar. Or you can make it for yourself to enjoy for meals through the week or to freeze for later. Today, I want to share my 2 recipes for pulled chicken. I haven’t tried these recipes with pork, but I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t substitute the chicken for pork to make pulled pork sandwiches. If you do try this, let me know how it … Continue reading

Christmas Dinner
Normally by mid-December we would have a plan for Christmas Eve dinner, Christmas Day brunch, and Christmas Day dinner…. it’s a busy 2 days to say the least! But we have zero plans scheduled at the moment. It’s an odd feeling and we know we are not along. Do you spend time with family and friends over the holidays or opt for a quiet day at home? Do you take the simple route and order a meal to go from your favorite restaurant or perhaps a heat-and-serve meal from the grocery store? Whatever you end up doing, it will be a year to remember! We will still have a lovely meal to commemorate the holidays and spend the day cooking together. I have a few recipes I want to share with you that not only make the perfect Christmas meal but are great options when cooking for a small group … Continue reading

Chicken Apple Chili
With the low temperatures we’ve had lately I want to hunker down and have a hot meal after work. Chicken Apple Chili is my new favorite go-to meal! It’s a bit non-traditional but is very easy to assemble, is light and refreshing, and is the perfect fall meal. Plus, it comes together in just a few hours (set it and forget it) so you aren’t waiting 4-8 hours like traditional chili. The recipe can be found here. You need a slow cooker for this one-pot recipe. Add all ingredients to the bowl of the slow cooker, except the apples, and stir together. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours. Serve with chopped apples on top. Easy peasy! The only real effort you need to put into this recipe is chopping the veggies. I also like to use rotisserie chicken in this recipe. It’s pre-cooked and reduced the amount of … Continue reading
