Slow-Cooker Black Bean Soup

Nothing is better on a cold winter's night than a good, hearty soup. This black bean soup uses a slow-cooker so you don't have to worry about soaking the beans overnight. Just place everything in your crockpot in the morning and the beans will be nice and soft by dinner time. It is also full of flavor without being spicy.

Slow-Cooker Coffee Pot Roast

Slow-Cooker Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwich

I don't know about you but toward the end of summer I have a really hard time deciding what to make for dinner. I am tired of the recipes that I have been repeating all summer but it is still too hot out to start making warm and hearty comfort food. This recipe is a great addition to our usual summer recipe rotation. It is really easy and the slow-cooker won't heat up your kitchen.

Slow-Cooker General Tso's Chicken

I love using my slow-cooker in the summer and I'm sure many of you do too. You don't have to heat up your kitchen and you can toss everything together in the morning and then go out and enjoy the beautiful weather. This recipe is particularly great because it has the awesome General Tso's flavor but is way healthier since it isn't breaded and deep-fried.

Crock Pot Pizza

Over the years Shelby has introduced me to some...interesting recipes. Some are a little too redneck unusual for my tastes (think: peanut butter and mustard sandwiches or deep fried dandelions) but there are a few that are actually pretty good! This crock pot pizza is one of them. :)
