A drawing of a crockpot with the words crocktober - a month of slow cooker recipes

Today is the fourth week of Low-Carb Crocktober 2018 where I share weekly slow-cooker meal plans for the month of October. You can find the archives for the entire Crocktober series here.  We are already four weeks in to Crocktober! Can you believe Halloween is almost here?

August 1, 2016 by Steph Powers 16 Comments

Borracho beans are so great in the slow cooker!

These Slow Cooker Charro/Borracho Beans are a simplified version of this beloved Tex-Mex pinto bean dish.  So I know that there are going to be two types of people looking at this recipe.

Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spinach Mac & Cheese // Crocktober 2014 Week #5

October 27, 2014 by Steph Powers 22 Comments

Slow Cooker Pumpkin Mac and Cheese

You'll never guess this Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spinach Mac & Cheese contains pumpkin. It's all sorts of creamy, cheesey goodness, and the best part is you just dump it all into your slow cooker and walk away! I'm pretty sad that Crocktober is coming to an end. I've really enjoyed putting together meal plans for you each week. Our budget is also pretty happy with all the cooking in and stocking ...
