Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese

Pasta, Recipes
Posted on

I needed to make mac and cheese for church this past Sunday. Of course, I woke up late. Typical, Coop. I had to figure out a way to cook while I dressed. Heeeeey, Crock pot! I rarely use the thing. That’s about to change! This mac and cheese is my new favorite! Easy, sinfully creamy, and it allowed me to cook while I did my make up! Look at God!!!

You can set it at high and cook for 1 hour. Or, set it at low and cook for 2. When it’s done, just turn the dial to the “Warm” setting and it will stay perfectly hot and creamy throughout dinner. Clean up will be easy breezy too, because you won’t have any leftovers. More slow cooker recipes are in our near future, Cookies…

Love,

Dirty Rice

Beef, Louisiana Favorites
Posted on

If you’ve ever attended any event in the South, you’ve had this dish. Birthday parties, family reunions, bbqs, heck even at some weddings, you’re bound to see a pan of dirty rice included in the spread. It’s just apart of our menu. And for good reason! It goes with pretty much anything! Potato salad and fried fish are my favorites to pair with dirty rice. What’s yours? Tell me in the comment section…after you watch this.

I’m off pork, but feel free to add some of that if you’d like. Use chicken gizzards if liver isn’t your thing. It’ll lend a milder flavor. Happy Cooking!

Love,
