Homemade chicken noodle soup
with huge homemade noodles and tons of chicken and veggies. Sides of fresh baked hoagies or chicken wings, basted in "Quaker Steak and Lube" hot and BBQ sauce. Family very very happy and it is cold here.
Left over from wienie roast cheesy potato soup, french onion soup and squished sandwiches.

homemade soup
I keep the best leftovers in the deep freeze to make soup. Tonight's soup has veggies, including lima beans, a wonderful chicken stock, and some diced up london broil and potatoes cut very fine to thicken the soup. All these leftovers in the soup bring back memories of meals gone by!  I just throw it all in the crockpot and let it do its thing.

Almost Gobbler Day. Who is cooking and who is going out to dinner? Myself cooking. (sm)
We usually have everyone bring a dish of some sorts. Large family, probably about 30 plus. Set up 3 extra tables in the garage for smokers and cardplayers and have a great day stuffing ourselves.
Looking for different side dishes, suggestions anyone?
That chicken looks good, too! Fried chicken is the one thing
I'm terrible at making. I just can't do it. Whenever we do have fried chicken maybe once a year, I buy the frozen boxed stuff or KFC.
I haven't thought about dinner yet. I'm making muffins today, spiced applesauce muffins, Tabor City yam bread muffins, and banana zucchini muffins. Going to send some to work with hubby and freeze the rest for breakfasts.
Sandwiches here. Have no time to
cook today. Yum, yum.
A couple sandwiches short of a picnic.

Pulled Pork Roast Sandwiches with Cabbage/Slaw
I would just take that baby and rub her down with some oil, vegetable, corn, olive, etc. and rub her down with some good seasons, like a little chili powder, garlic, salt, pepper and wrap her up good and tight in some aluminum foil. Git some good hickory wood chips and once the grill starts to cool off from the hottest point, then put that baby out there and let her slow cook for about 6 hours or so. Keep it wrapped up tight so the juices do not escape and if they do, get some worchestershire, oil etc. and baste her up. When a fork separates with the meat to just strands, she is ready for some bread and some slaw/cabbage with a lil vinegar added to the slaw and a lil bbq or A1 steak sauce with a lil mustard added together is better to me and there you go, a good ole southern pulled pork roast samwich!
soup
First of all, had 2 huge chickens for din din last night... So I cut away all left over chicken. Huge pot of water and add salt and pepper and chop an onion. Let simmer for at least 45 minutes. Homemade noodles are a tad difficult to explain but "Reames", which I use in a pinch, has excellent home made noodles in the frozen food section of most grocery stores. Boil on the side until somewhat firm as you have to add for the last 45 minutes to soup. I add 3/4 teaspoon of chicken soup base to the huge pot and let simmer another 35 minutes. Add fresh or frozen carrots, peas, potatoes etc.(whatever your family wishes) and after noodles done toss in the huge pot and simmer for another 35 - 40 minutes. Totally awesome and never any leftovers here. Hope it works.

will there be MTing to do, as in VR with editing, or is transcription going to be a thing of the past, anyone know?
crockpot ribs sm
sprinkle ribs with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Brown under broiler. Put in crockpot and maybe about 3/4 to a full bottle of bar-b-que sauce. I usually use about 3/4 bottle for about 6-8 country style ribs that are on the bigger side. Dice onion up and put in crockpot. Cook on low about 8-10 hours, depending on what type and how meaty the ribs are. I usually try to flip the ribs around (put the ones that were on top on the bottom, vice versa) about about halfway through as the sauce tends to all go to the bottom; that way the ones of top get to soak in the sauce good too. So easy to fix and tastes great. Meat falls right off the bone.
Here's a recipe from crockpot.com
Chicken with 40 Cloves Garlic
Ingredients:
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh sage
2 springs fresh Italian parsley
40 cloves garlic, unpeeled
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
4 lb whole chicken
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 loaf French bread,sliced
Directions:
Place 1 sprig thyme, rosemary, sage and parsley in chicken cavity. Place celery in stoneware. Put chicken on top of celery. Add garlic around chicken. Chop remaining herbs sprinkle herbs, salt and pepper over chicken. Cover cook on Low 8 - 10 hours or on High 4 - 6 hours. To serve, place chicken, garlic and celery on serving platter. Squeeze roasted garlic out of skins onto toasted French bread slices and spread with knife.

What else do you like to cook in your crockpot?
I love a roast in the crockpot but what else is really good?
Crockpot timesaver tip. sm
I came across something new (at least new to me). Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners. No more scrubbing baked on food out of the crockpot. They work like oven baking plastic bags. Even big enough to use in my oval-shaped crockpot.
There are some good crockpot recipes out there, especially
if it's hot and you don't want to use the oven. I do a "golfer's special". Line a cake pan with tin foil, put the roast in, and add cut up carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery. Sprinkle it with onion soup mix or beef gravy mix, close the foil, then bake until done. It can also be done in the crockpot.
You can cube your roast to make shish kebabs slathered in BBQ or some other bold tasting sauce. Skewer new potatoes, onions, mushrooms, squash, red peppers, and whatever other veggies you like.
You can cut up the roast either before or after cooking, stick it in the crockpot with some beef broth, let it cook all day, then serve as French dip sandwiches on steak rolls with au jus. Fries, salad, or chips on the side.
Sometimes I just sit here and Google for recipes when I'm bored and can't think of what to cook for dinner. Type "rump roast recipe" on Google without quotes to see what else comes up. You can narrow your search by adding "BBQ" or "crockpot".
Wash it, up in the crockpot with 2 cans of
cream of mushroom soup, one soup can of water and 1 package of onion soup mix. Make some rice when you are ready to eat. YUM. If you don't have those incredients, you can use potatoes, onions, celery, and carrots, but put a couple of tablespoons of flour in the crockpot before you put the roast in and then add some wine or some other kind of liquid to give you a gravy. I like my roast to fall apart when I try to put it out of the crockpot.
Just one favorite crockpot recipe?
I love my crockpot. I especially like working at home while the crockpot cooks all day long because it smells so good. I like to make stew, chili, spaghetti sauce, roast beef with vegetables, French dip sandwich meat, and tons of other stuff. Since it'll be raining tomorrow, we're having polska kielbasa with new potatoes and cabbage. It sounds and smells a little off, but it's so good!
Personally, I love my crockpot...
I just made chili last night, best we ever had, really.
Since I did not have the money for the one you mentioned, with the timer and everything, I opted for a $15 one in a dollar store, and the beauty is the pot itself. No matter how bad the food sticks on the edges, it comes off with almost just a wipe, maybe a quick soak first, if real bad.
A friend of mine uses her for cider, to keep it warm. Mine does have a warmer, and the crock pulls out, I would at least suggest that. I had an 'original' crockpot (which I really loved) but what a chore to clean it as the electric unit was connected...
Anyway, a definite must in my kitchen. Also, we have a small place that heats up in the summer, so many times rather than use the oven I have used that little potassium for all kinds of things.
Best $15 I ever spent.
It smells the house up great in the fall, too. Even though I am home and can use the oven in the cooler months, even my boyfriend says he loves the smell of the food cooking, especially during football! I do some barbecue pork or whatever for him. (I do not eat meat). I did a meatless chili last night, then just added ground beef with my boyfriend's bowl and mixed it in. Awesome!
Not sure why people even bother to post when they are not interested in the topic, but just had to say I love my CP!
You could probably get the lid replaced, by the way...
Good luck.

crockpot turkey breast question
I just got a crockpot, have not really used one much. I want to cook a boneless turkey breast. Have looked at recipes online, most have no liquid added. The idea of leaving it on low at home, while I'm a work, (with no liquid) makes me a little nervous. Comments? TIA
I do have a crockpot in my Goodwill box. I've ended up with 3 of them somehow.
Thanks for the offer. My mother and maternal grandmother both died of breast CA and I always knew of all the girls in the family I was going to be the one to get it, just didn't think this early. Haven't had staging yet, but I get yearly mammograms so hopefully they've caught it early enough.
I'm already trying to decide if I'm going to dye my hair that burgundy color that seems to be popular or if I'm going to get a super short haircut. I've recently taken up knitting and I've already accumulated a major stash of yarn and I'm making a list of all the things I'm going to make and how I'm going to teach all the other people going through chemo to knit and we'll just have a jolly ole' time knitting and carrying on. I've been wanting more time to knit.
Need a really good crockpot spaghetti or something Italian
Hello all you great cooks, I am looking for a crockpot spaghetti recipe or it can be something else Italian for a big group that you have made and know is really good!
Tomato soup and toasted cheese sandwich.
Nothing grilled, it gives me a bellyache, just plain toast and cheese stuck together My son will have his favorite, fried liver and onions, my daughter will have cinnamon oatmeal, husband will have half a grapefruit, oatmeal, 2 eggs, and toast. I run a short order house in the morning, but at least everyone eats something good for them before they leave the house, so I don't mind at all. And I won't be surprised if a few neighborhood kids stop in for my soup and sandwich or the oatmeal. The only rule is that they have to put their own dishes in the dishwasher, not leave them for me to clean up.
Ah, reminds me of a friend who said, "I'll be all over you like cheese soup!"

Homemade is just better!
There sure aren't many of us around Nature Girl!! I'm 41 and most of the people my age have no idea how to can or freeze things. I brought in salsa once to work and there had been this article about botulism in the newspaper and a couple of people were very hesitant about trying my salsa. I asked them if they thought that I would put my 4-year-old at risk and yes I do pressure cook at the correct temp for the correct time!! Hear that POP. I haven't been able to do as much as I'd like with my daughter being young, and working 2 part-time jobs, but always have to do a large variety of jellies and jams for Christmas gifts - the relatives pout if I don't because store bought definitely is not the same!! Will be drying apple chips this weekend and making applesauce and applebutter. The husband and his brothers own a 5,000 acre farm so I am spoiled with the veggies and I have a large garden. My dream someday is to put in a small orchard. In all my free time....
Well, since he does most of the cooking..
Maybe let him make their dinner and you make yours! That's what I would do. I would not give up my meals for two spoiled rotten kids ;)
Homemade sav???
He is treating his wound with a homemade sav. I cannot find "sav" anywhere. It sav, sauve??? I know its like a lotion but I'm not sure how to spell it. Thanks!
Onion soup mix, 1/2 cup Madiera wine, carrots, potatoes.
Cook roast slowly (325 for about 3 hours, add the potatoes and carrots, cook another hour, and serve.
Or just slice onions on top the roast, add about 1/2 cup water, put in covered dutch oven, cook same as above, adding potatoes and carrots.
homemade stromboli..
he has already requested that for tonight.. he even went and bought the groceries for it! So, I guess that's it for me!
cooking in crock pot right now
Either beef stew meat OR a chuck, whatever. One can cream of celery, one can cream of mushroom and one can french onion. Don't have do do a thing. Delicious
I don't do homemade anymore
Being single, its just easier nowadays to buy chili, the fritos and cheese. One thing I NEVER EVER EVER EVER buy (or made) chili with beans .... el yucko!!!!
I'm cooking. Daughter and son-in-law,
son, husband and myself will be spending Thanksgiving together (after my son and I get off work).
Yes, and I'm the one cooking the turkey
Don't think my guests would appreciate a "tofu turkey". I will do the whole traditional meal and those who choose not to eat the turkey will still have plenty.
How do you get rid of cooking smells?
I've about had it with cooking any beef or pork at all. Even cooking with hot oil.
I cannot get the lingering odors out. I wash the pots and pans, put up the leftovers immediately, clean the stove and all surfaces but it just lingers.
Does anyone have a solution?
we're doing homemade BBQ...sm
chips, slaw, potato salad, and drinks. Ice cream for dessert and fruit. Easy and delicious...
