Roast Beef Sliders

These roast beef sliders are so yummy!! I found the recipe over at Plain Chicken, and I have made them a couple of times now. I'll admit I cheated though and used store bought chipotle mayo. I serve them with a side of steamed broccoli, and dinner is a hit. I think the kids like it that the sandwiches are on the smaller side.

So break out the slow cooker and let it do the cooking for you. Can you tell I love my crock pot?

Korean Style Short Ribs

Ok, its time for another delicious dinner that cooks itself, so you have an extra hour or so to work on your latest scrapbooking project.

I have made these Korean style short ribs from What's Cookin' Chicago a couple of times now, and we all love them!  They are super easy to throw together in the morning, and they smell awesome as they cook all day. All you need to do us steam up some broccoli and rice right before you are ready to eat, and you have a complete dinner ready to go.

Bon Appetit!

Zuppa Toscana Soup... in the Slow Cooker!

The mornings are starting to be a little chilly... in Southern California, that is the first sign that Fall is coming! It has been so hot, I can't wait for the weather to cool down... not to mention I have this really cute pair of boots that I got at the end of last season and I have really been looking forward to wearing them!

Anyways... along with the cooler weather comes the home cooked comfort food. One of the best things about this is that a lot of them can be cooked in the crockpot, and we all know that means less time cooking and more time scrapbooking! 

This copycat version of Zuppa Toscana is done in the crockpot, and SO GOOD! I found the recipe at Get Crocked, and you can find the entire thing here.

You're probably wondering what that delicious looking Fajita has to do with scrapbooking...

You're welcome!

Family Meal Planner

I was perusing some of my favorite blogs this morning, and I came across this great meal planner at Brown Paper Packages. I am definitely one of those people that has a bazillion magazines and recipe books that I scan through everytime I plan my shopping list. This would be perfect, considering I only use a couple out of each book... though lately I have been expanding my repertoire.

Recipe Box Redo

Hi All... I know it has been too long since my last post, but I'm here!!! You know how life gets super crazy and the next thing you know, it's two weeks later? Well, that has pretty much been my last two weeks. Busy is good though, right?

My son started Little League, and I volunteered to be "Team Mom"... what was I thinking???? Actually, I think it is going to be a lot of fun, but it definitely entails a lot more than I realized! One of those things is a gift basket auction... each team donates a gift basket, and the team mom (me) is responsible for getting the donations and putting it all together. So in case you were wondering why I am telling you all this.... we need donations!!!! If you have an online business you would like to promote (or if you have a business that happens to be in San Diego) and you would like to donate an item or gift certificate, email me and let me know!

Ok, now on to the fun stuff...

I found this great recipe box remake over at How Does She. Let me tell you, I definitely need one of these!
