Crock pot cooking two days in a row… The weather turned cool and rainy yesterday. I subscribe to Martha Stewart’s Everyday Food daily email. Every day a simple recipe is delivered to my email box. Yesterday it was a crock pot dish with a link to 10 other crock pot recipes. I browsed them. This recipe immediately caught my eye. It sounded so good and…
Crock Pot Stuffed Cabbage Casserole
I have been so busy lately that I haven’t posted many recipes. I found this recipe last week on Recipezaar and wanted to make it this past weekend. I didn’t get a chance. The weather cooled and I wanted this comfort food. So, I left the recipe on the countertop as a subtle hint to Brett. He took the bait and made it today. It…

I liked the idea of using cider in a…
Harvest Time Cabbage and Apples
If you read this blog regularly, you know that I believe in using seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables. This past week we visited a local farm market and orchard.
