Slow Cooker Giveaway!

November 9, 2012 By sharib 359 Comments

Back by popular demand….

It’s getting quite cold here on the east coast so it’s the perfect time to get hunkered down and cook some slow cooked meals to comfort you and keep you warm.

I bought my very first slow cooker last year. Gone are those stressful nights trying to figure out a last minute dinner plan for my cranky, hungry kids.

My slow cooker has certainly lived up to its motto: “cooks while the cook’s away.” Honestly, it’s just so easy to use. Simply dump your food in the porcelain pot in the morning and, when you get home at night, your meal is ready to be served!

As you’ve witnessed, I’ve slow cooked everything from: baked apples to chicken tortilla soup to macaroni and cheese to turkey chili to even a pound cake! Slow cooking has become an obsession. I even slow cooked S’Mores on election night. And, all of my slow-cooked dishes tasted wonderful.

I want to share my love of slow cookery with you. You’ve got another chance to win your very own Cuisinart 3 1/2 Quart Programmable Slow Cooker with the following features:

Oval-shaped programmable slow cooker with 3-1/2-quart ceramic pot

Turkey Meatloaf

September 28, 2012 By sharib 1 Comment

The days are getting cooler, turning darker earlier, and my kids are demanding more substantial meals.

Gone are the days of summer where a simple barbequed fish and some steamed veggies would satisfy their appetites.

It seems as though we’re moving into crock pot territory: home-cooked, hearty meals of meat and potatoes and pasta.

I figured I’d make Mom’s Turkey Meatloaf this evening since my daughter came home sick from school and needed some comfort food to help nourish and mend.

Where as mom would’ve gone for the bowl of hot chicken soup with saltine crackers to feed a soul, I opted for a nice and light ground turkey meatloaf requiring very few ingredients.

Bread crumbs, ground turkey and and egg are all you need to throw together this dish. I added some fresh apple sauce and steamed edamamme on the side to complete the meal.

Douse some ketchup on top of your finished product and you’ve got one tasty dinner.

Enjoy!

Turkey Meatloaf

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs. of lean ground turkey, uncooked
1/4 cup green pepper, diced
1/4 cup red pepper, diced
1 egg
3/4 cup of plain or panko breadcrumbs

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, with hands mix together the uncooked ground turkey with the peppers and egg.
Add the breadcrumbs and lightly mix throughout.
Place into a greased loaf pan in the oven for 40 minutes or until turkey is cooked completely through (cent of roast should be approximately 160 degrees F).
Douse top of loaf with ketchup. Enjoy!
