Slow-Cooker Lasagna - A delicious easy make ahead meal

-

Wait, what?!?!?  I hear you say, you can't do lasagna in the slow cooker!

Oh but you can!  I got the idea from a Pinterest post, Crock-Pot Lasagna, ya just gotta love Pinterest!!!

Sorry, I don't have my own pictures, but it was ooey gooey delicious!

You can follow the recipe on the above link or use your favorite lasagna recipe. Layer it all up in the crock of your slow cooker, just like you would do in your lasagna pan and voila, you have slow cooker lasagna! And guess what, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BOIL THE NOODLES BEFORE HAND! Just make sure your meat is cooked and start your layering!

Now, it is going to look soupy once it's done, but you have to let it sit. Basically turn off your slow cooker and let it rest for about 45 minutes. All the ooey gooey-ness is going to come together. Just like when you make oven baked lasagna, you have to let it rest for a bit so you don't have a melty mess.


That's it!


talk to y'all soon!

Chicken Pot Pie Soup

Sharing a post from my old blog, this soup was delicious! This wonderful soup was a hit with myself & my man.  He keeps telling me that I am trying to fatten him up with all the good food & the wonderful home made biscuits I've been making lately! This recipe comes from:  http://www.thegunnysack.com/2014/09/slow-cooker-chicken-pot-pie-soup-recipe.html#_a5y_p=2430495 I wanted the soup like yesterday, so I couldn't wait for it to cook up in the slow cooker! So I sauteed the chicken with a little salt, pepper, poultry seasoning & season salt, until it was cooked through. I boiled the potatoes in 2 cups of water until they were cooked through.  I then added the veggies, chicken & cream of chicken soup & heated it through.  I used the amount of cornstarch that the recipe called for to thicken up the soup & since I kept the extra water from the potatoes, I used it to make the slurry to thicken the soup. I'll add the biscuit recipe later, as I don't hav

Pan seared Swai (a tender, hardy, white fish from Vietnam) I put 2 tablespoons of Avocado oil in a skillet and heated on high. I seasoned 3 Swai fillets with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried basil then added them io the skillet. Seared on both sides until cooked through. Added 3 teaspoons of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic and basted fillets with it for about a minute on each side. Plate and set aside to rest. Serve hot!  For the buttered Lima beans, boil them in 1/2-1 cup of water for 10 minutes, covered. I then added plenty of unsalted butter, salt, and pepper and cooked for an additional 15 minutes. Use slotted spoon to dish onto plate and serve hot!  For the creamy mashed cauliflower I used a bag of frozen cauliflower and steamed in the microwave for 6 minutes. Once cooked through, I added to my food processor. I also added 3 tablespoons cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of milk, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, salt and pepper to taste and pureed unt

Valentine's Steak Dinner for 2

There's just something delicious about a steak dinner.  My favorite cut of steak is the rib-eye, but with how expensive steaks are these days, the sirloin cut is just as delicious. Sirloin steak does not have the fat marbling that the rib-eye or the NY Strip have. But that doesn't make them any less delicious or desirable.  Petite Sirloin with Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Buttered Steamed Green Beans and Chocolate Mousse with Whipped Cream I got everything through our local Walmart Superstore. I sometimes loathe shopping so I use their pick-up service to get groceries. I used it this time for our groceries and the items needed for this dinner. Putting an order in through the app makes it a heck of a lot easier especially when you've been working all day or had a busy day doing things at home to just be able to have someone else shop for you and pick your groceries up on the way home.  First prepare the Chocolate Mousse, that way it will be set and ready when you and yo
