A fun and ridiculously delicious twist on sloppy joe sandwiches. Instead of using ground beef, you slow cooker a beef roast with the thick and chunky sloppy joe sauce and a can of diced tomatoes. The acidity from the tomatoes helps soften and tenderize the beef roast, and the sloppy joe sauce infuses it's flavors into the meat as it slow cooks. Serve on sandwich buns or … [Read more...]

Slow Cooker Lemon & Dill Salmon
I recently started cooking our salmon in the slow cooker and WOOOWWWWWWEEEEEEEE! wow-e. Yes, you can absolutely cook salmon in the slow cooker. And it's crazy delicious. Yes, it's better than baked. And better than grilled. (In my opinion.) Why? Because the end result is a softer, flakier, more tender fish. And it seems to soak up the flavors better. This is a … [Read more...]
Mocha Lava Cake
A pile of amazing delicious. You put the cake on the bottom, the pudding on top and it magically transforms into pudding on the bottom and cake on the top. I wanted to quickly mention about the instant coffee that's in the recipe. You can't taste it at all. I don't love the taste of coffee and I can't taste it. What the instant coffee does is bring up the flavors of the … [Read more...]

Find out what these ingredients are: recipe for … [Read more...]
Balsamic Pulled Pork
This is pulled pork heaven right here. Better than my favorite BBQ joint. I think it's the sweet and tangy. As you can see from the photo below, I used a balsamic glaze. I found it in the grocery store, right near the vinegar on the condiment aisle. You could use straight balsamic vinegar. The glaze is just a thickened up vinegar and did an amazing job coating the beef as it … [Read more...]
