Asian-inspired Mini-Meatballs

Asian-inspired Mini-Meatballs by Amos Miller

A perfect appetizer, great hot or cold, and can be easily made the day before the party in a large crock pot. All you’ll need is toothpicks and tiny plates! I’ve built upon an interesting recipe I found for meatballs with a teriyaki sauce and the inclusion of, yes, dried cranberries. This was so tasty when I first made my…

Cajun Crowder Beans

Cajun Crowder Beans by Amos Miller

Also known as Crowder peas, these delicious little fellas can often be found in frozen form at the store. These are fresh picked right here in Michigan and, like fava beans and so many other seasonal treats, we rush them to the table. Crowders are really a 'Southern' treat and I first enjoyed them when visiting relatives in West…

Crock Pot BBQ Pork by Carolinaheartstrings

Pulled pork BBQ is one of our favorite foods and the crock pot is our favorite way to season and prepare this pork. Adding BBQ sauce after is really optional because it has such a wonderful flavor. Try it and see what YOU think!

Easy Crock Pot Orzo

Easy Crock Pot Orzo by Carolinaheartstrings

I love the versatility of a crock pot, from desserts, to soups to even this easy orzo side dish. It takes no time to prepare and only a few short hours to cook. Put it on in mid afternoon and it will be ready by dinner. The crock pot makes the orzo so fluffy and delicious.

Crock pot lentil soup

Crock pot lentil soup by Carolinaheartstrings

I love lentil soup and I must not be alone in that love because when I used to buy canned soup I loved a particular brand’s lentil soup and it was always missing from the shelf. I cannot believe it took me so long to make this because it was so easy and so delicious. Even The Husband liked it and I never thought I would get him to…

Crock Pot Irish Tribute

Crock Pot Irish Tribute by Carolinaheartstrings

I think we all know that cabbage and potatoes are part of the Irish food heritage. But, shrimp, or “prawns” as they are more often called in Ireland, are common in their diet too. I’m sure our regulars know that I’m a shrimp fanatic so I thought I’d fix up something in the crock pot in honor of the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day using…

Quinoa is one of my favorite things to eat for lunch and/or dinner and now breakfast too! I was not at all sure how this was going to cook up and become something creamy in consistency, but it did and it was TERRIFIC! Did I shout that loud enough? This is one delicious alternative for breakfast and the best thing about this…
