You know what I’ve learned to love most about your channel? You are just so real and not bothered by what anybody else thinks about you and the way that you take care of your family, and that really motivates me for my future with my children.
I do most of the cooking in our house, my wife doesn't care to cook, anyway I think what I like is the simplicity of the dishes you make, and brand names aren't the issue, thank you
My mom is amazing, but she never really cooked growing up. It's not a bad thing, but I just never learned those skills. Over the past 2.5 years of watching your videos, you feel like my second mom in a way!🥰
I stopped buying taco seasoning packets a few years ago and make my own and save it in an empty cleaned out Parmesan cheese shaker container. Most stocked pantries have the individual ingredients already on hand. I use a recipe from all recipes for exact measurements. Way cheaper and now easier. I do the same for fajita seasonings and enchilada sauce. Allrecipes!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who does this! + those green parmesan cheese shaker twist caps are AMAZING. I always save them because they twist right onto Mason jars for easy peasy use.
Love your content! You’re so comforting to me when I watch. I’ve lost both my parents and even though we aren’t crazy dissimilar in age (maybe 10-15 years), it just feels like advice my mom would share and it makes me so happy ❤️. Thank you for doing what you do.
I'm currently making a version of the creole chicken inspired by this video! Its slightly different because I'm using ingredients already in my pantry/freezer. Spicy vegetable broth. Frozen pepper and onion blend. Canned pre-seasoned pinto beans. Canned tomatoes with jalapeños and green chilies in them. Used a mix of Tony and zatarains creole for seasoning. And lastly I added some cut up smoked sausage. Fingers crossed it comes out good! 🤞
Crockpot meals are the best! I’m making so many more right now. Some soups, some nice chicken dinners, etc. maybe I’ll make a video of them. I love these ideas Christine! ❤
My Dear, I´m watching your channel for more than an year, but i never subscribed because o mosthly watch in my living room in my smart tv thru my husband account. I really want to thank you for taking your time and do very good videos. Because of you i learned about crockpot and i have one now for almost one year. My live is so much easier now. i leave all ready in the crockpot and my husbank use to plug in, and we have nice dinner for less effort and don´t have to run to cook dinner for the family. my life is so much easier now. Lots of kisses from Portugal
Gonna print up the recipes. Thank you. At 11:55, you said "Low for 3 to 4 hours or High for 6 to 8 hours". But I got what you meant. Thank you again. You're the best.
I was watching some of your old videos and came across one where your mum was telling us what she's been watching and 'somewhere to call home' was on her list, started watching it and love it so please thank her for her recommendation 😊
I like all your videos but your cooking vids are my favorite.😊 I will try some of the beef crock pot meals cuz I have a lot of frozen beef to use up. Thanks for the yummy ideas
Love the fact that you take the time to scrape out every bit of the ingredients into your pot. I watch some RU-vidrs and it makes me cringe when I see that there's still ingredients in the cans/jars. Especially when prices are what they are now. I'm a scrape every bit I can out person.. 😂 my son actually makes fun of me for it..
A small tip we use here for making a stew (like your round steak recepy): put in a slice of bread with mustard (like Dijon), it wil give depth in taste and thicken the sauce. Would only do this with beef, not chicken
Christine. Do the Mississippi pot roast and use the shredded beef in grilled cheeses. We used buttermilk bread and Muenster cheese and used mayo to sear instead of butter and it is a GAME CHANGER! Please try it some time and tell me how delicious it is because it IS SO GOOD
I love making sausage and potatoes in the slow cooker. I always sauté the sausage first with some onions and garlic for extra flavor and deglaze the pan and then add it to the potatoes.
I don’t know how long you lived in Texas but you always make me laugh. The made up words and sayings is something we all do in my family. Keep being real sister!
If you have time and energy I recommend browning the meat on the outside before putting them in the crock pot! Really makes it more flavorful and juicy in my opinion.
When I have whole tomatoes rather than diced, I use scissors to cut up the the tomatoes while still in the can. To me easier than trying to cut them later.
Glad to see you use a liner on the crook pot....my wife goes bananas if I use one..."I can taste the plastic....really, I can taste it!" ugh! I cant taste it....I think its physiological! Thanks for recipes!
FYI, as an Italian, I can tell you that the plural of tortellini is tortellini. No S on the end! Thanks so much for these ideas I plan to try all of them!
@@mrskimmieg I don't have an actual recipe but I can tell you what I did. I had 5 frozen hamburger patties, browned them on both sides, then put them in the crock pot on low and covered them with around a 1/4 cup of pizza sauce and topped with colby jack & cheddar cheese. Then I made a box of mac and cheese and added extra cheese in it and put it on top of the burgers and drizzled the top of the mac and cheese with the remaining 1/4 c pizza sauce, added a handful more of cheese and let it stay on low for a few hours. When I make it again, I'll just do a pound of hamburger, drain it and add the sauce and combine the mac and cheese with it. The flavors went well together and I think that would be good. But haven't done that yet. edit: when a saw a couple of hours, it was probably 4. The hamburgers were done and juicy but not hard as a rock, lol.
@@mrskimmieg Hope your family likes it. Sorry I couldn't be more precise, it was a "what can I do with this half container of pizza sauce" thing. My family really liked it.
think i must have mis-heard the wings timing -- low for 3-4 or high for 6-8 hours. Not a fan of wings, but love the rest of it, and the sauce for the wings...that might go nice with some little riblets that i have in the freezer. is before breakfast too soon to be thinking about dinner? thank you for the pdf too, have a lovely weekend :)
I would definitely say these recipes are also picky kid/person friendly. So may people put recipes on RU-vid that aren’t picky friendly. The only thing I wouldn’t add to one of the recipes is bell peppers, but that can easily be replaced with onion for me. Being picky is rough. Especially when you’re picky with a lot of breakfast foods. I don’t like eggs and don’t like lots of cheese. I can do a little cheese, but prefer to omit it.
Bay leaves don't add any flavor. They are only used in beef and pork recipes to add lauric acid which reacts with the fat. You can leave them out if you use chicken or turkey.
Uh, did you mean (last recipes) the time/temp the other way around? "Low 3-4, high 6-8 hrs" seems... odd. Or am I really uneducated? I've never used this pot - AND I HAVE ONE! Shame on me. Thanks for this video! Inspired me to use it! 💛🤗Hi from Canada!
