Zucchini is by far my favorite summer vegetable. I grow plenty and eat them almost every day, they’re so versatile! First of all, I like them just sliced fresh on their own with a sprinkle of salt, or in a salad. Then I also love zucchini bread which is sweet and delish as well as healthy. Finally, I love zucchini in soups and casseroles. I’m always looking for new dishes to chop it up and throw it into. I found this one that is hailed as the “best.” Reading something is the best instantly makes me want to be a food critic and that’s just what this did for me.

I gathered some zucchini from the garden and picked up the other four ingredients. I love that they are minimal! The photo alone of this dish made me drool a little bit, because if you love zucchini you just want it all the time – am I right?

Quick Tip: Sprinkle zucchini with a pinch of salt then wait 5 mins to drain it – this removes excess liquid.

If you’re like me, whenever you go to your favorite breakfast place you absolutely have to have country biscuits and gravy. Whether it’s a meal or a side, I just can’t deny my love for those classic southern flavors. That’w why I was more than delighted to find this casserole that features not only the sausage gravy and biscuits but also eggs! Just close your eyes for a moment and imagine the goodness, you’re in aren’t you? I am all in and could eat this every day – no lie! Thankfully, it’s a dish that the whole family loves so I can make it whenever I want.

I was about to enjoy a day out with the mother-in-law and knew I’d be gone until dinner time. I had chicken on hand with a handful of other ingredients and decided to figure out what I could slow cook. Chicken Cacciatore was the winner! I hadn’t had this flavorful Italian meal in quite some time, and I had never put it in the crock. I figured I’d throw it together, go enjoy our shopping day and then come home to make some pasta and boom, done! Little did I know it’d be such a huge hit with everyone.

If there’s one thing I’m certain of, it’s that cube steak cooked in gravy is always a winner. Not only that, grave is a winner in itself! My kids used to just eat the gravy over rice or potatoes and not the meat. Now that they are older they love the tender bites of meat and get excited whenever I make this dish. Cooked in the crock it’s so perfect, and you can literally throw these ingredients in there, in the morning while your coffee is brewing. By the time your coffee is done the crock will be set to make a welcoming and delicious meal for later. Don’t you just love that?

Shut the front door! This Root Beer Slow Cooker Pulled Pork has me reeling. It is so tender and flavorful, you don’t even need to use your favorite BBQ sauce on top. I am not a regular soda drinker but I get curious when I find things that are made with them, and so I put this on my short list of things to try and man am I glad! We’re big fans of BBQ meats in general, and pulled pork has always been my favorite. I knew I’d like this but in my mind I couldn’t figure out how the root beer flavor would complement the pork.

Like a deconstructed burrito, this crock meal brings everything you want all together in a simple and appreciative way. It’s like magic, you throw it all in there and BOOM dinner!

Growing up, Twix bars were one of my favorite treats that my dad would buy me. Every time he would go to the local gas station, he would come back with a Twix candy bar and we would sit on the porch and share it. What a delightful memory! I guess you could say that this pie is a little special to me.
