Slow Cooker Creamed Corn

By Leave a Comment

In the summer, there are few things I love more than quick, simple meals that don’t require the use of an oven. Like a lot of you, I try to rely a lot on my slow cooker over the summer months to keep my house cooler. Grilling is also a summertime favorite and this side makes the perfect companion to most grilled dishes.

Sweet corn is easy to find in the summer, but this dish doesn’t have to be a summertime only dish. It’s perfect year round and it has simple ingredients, which is a must! I love using my slow cooker to make meals so that I don’t even have to be at the house to get the cooking done. [Read more…]

Mexican food is one of my all time favorite foods. If you want to see a happy girl, just sit me down in front of some chips, salsa, guacamole and a margarita over ice with salt. I am particular, and I know what I like. I am also very particular about my love of enchiladas. I have searched high and low for the perfect enchilada where I live.  I have only found one place that that I love the enchiladas, but unfortunately for me it is 45 minutes from my house. I have made it a personal mission to figure out how to make the perfect recipe that uses good authentic ingredients.

Being a California girl, I’ve always had a perception about how summers are spent on the east coast. Mind you, much of my perception is heavily influenced by the movie Beaches, so it obviously includes Boardwalks, surrey bike rides, and nostalgic photo booth sessions with your very best friend.

One of my favorite beverages to drink in the summer is iced tea. I always order it when I go out to a restaurant but I rarely make it at home. I feel like it takes too much time and it never tastes the same. I was super excited to find out that I can use my Keurig brewer machine to make my favorite cold beverages too, including my love for iced tea.

My husband and I received our Keurig brewer for Christmas, and we could not believe how much it changed our lives. Our favorite coffee right at our fingertips in just a few minutes. We are truly addicted to it, we don’t know how we lived without it.
