One of the cool things about using a slow cooker — besides the dump and go aspect — is that the cost per person is significantly less than fast food. How often have you gotten a meal at a restaurant for less than $3 per person? And if so, was it good? If so, where? LOL Seriously, this smoked sausage and bean cassoulet is an inexpensive filling…

It is almost the end of January. This month has a lot of cool holidays or themes like National Glaucoma Month, National Slow Cooker Month, National Cheese Lovers’ Day, and more. However, January 27th puts in double-duty. January is National Baking Month and the 27th is National Chocolate Cake Day. So in honor of this, we have a chocolate layer cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. I know earlier this month there was a slow cooker chocolate cake but this one is perfect and from scratch.

Like a prelude to warmer winter, right? If…

Slow Cooker Spaghetti
I have yet to come across someone who doesn’t love spaghetti. It’s a crowd-pleasing, quick and easy meal any day of the week – but even easier when you can make it all in the slow cooker. Best of all the sauce is made from scratch, allowing me to control seasonings and what goes in it. Quick Tip – brown the ground beef as soon as you get back from the store and store it in the fridge or freezer. Just grab it (thaw if needed) and put in your slow cooker for easy meal prep.
