Quick and Easy Caramel Apple Cider CrockPot Recipe



A friend of mine treats her kids a few times a week to a caramel hot cider at Starbucks, and my kids are were jealous and kept bringing this up each time we drove by the strip mall.

So I evened the score. I made a boatload.
and the kids WERE THRILLED.

save yourself $3.50, and dig through the cupboards. You can do this. It's super easy.

The Ingredients.
serves 4, (can easily be multiplied --use a larger cooker though!)
4 cups apple cider
3 tablespoons caramel syrup (the ice cream topping)
1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
4 tablespoons sweetened whipped cream (optional; I leave it off for my kids)

The Directions.

Use a 2-quart slow cooker. Now this is sweet---I've modeled it after the stuff they serve at the store. After making it this way a few times, I've successfully cut back on the syrup without my kids (and their friends!) knowing---do what is right for your own family.

Mix it all in together---stir, and cook on low for about 4 hours. I like to put it on after I clean up the breakfast dishes and then leave it alone until our after-school snack. I've also made a large pot for Girl Scout events and  playdates. The kids really like it, and it's a nice change of pace from hot chocolate with marshmallows.

Leftovers refrigerate and reheat well (in the microwave).

The Verdict.

The only drawback to this recipe is that when we have caramel sauce in the house, it tends to get everywhere. Chris always says that she has an eighth child named "Not Me" who is the main mischief-maker in her home. "Not Me" is evidently to blame for sucking syrup right out of the bottle and leaving sticky fingerprints all over my doorknobs and couch cushions.
hmmph.

I've got a new interview with Erin Chase, the $5 Dinner Mom up on stephanieodeaTV. Erin is a great friend and a true mommy mogul. I appreciate the way Erin puts her family in front of her business and doesn't apologize for it. Ever. She's also got a brand new cookbook out!

have a great day!

Pesto Minestrone Soup Slow Cooker Recipe




Although it was bizaredly warm and we spent the day outside walking around a community farm (baby pigs couldn't possibly be any cuter), we're still smack dab in the middle of soup season.

Soup rocks.

This is a hearty (non-boring) minestrone with a funky and surprising twist: pesto. It's delicious, filling, low fat, and can be completely vegetarian/vegan if you opt for vegetable broth. 

The Ingredients.
serves 6
1 large onion, diced
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup sliced celery
1 yellow or red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 pound (any variety) potatoes, cut in 1-inch chunks (no need to peel)
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 (15-ounce) cans beans (undrained; your choice, I used black and kidney)
1 (11-ounce) container prepared pesto (or a cup or so homemade)
4 cups chicken broth (can use vegetable)
1 cup frozen peas (to add later)
1 handful baby spinach (to add later)

The Directions.

Use a 6-quart slow cooker. Put the veggies into the bottom of your slow cooker and add the entire can of tomatoes and both cans of beans. Pour in the pesto and broth. No additional seasoning is needed. Cover, and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or until the vegetables have fully cooked and softened and flavors have melded completely. stir well, and add frozen peas and a handful of spinach. Cook on high for another 10-15 min or until the peas are fully hot and the spinach has wilted.

The Verdict.

I love how the pesto flavors this soup so fully---I didn't want to sprinkle on a bunch of cheese the way I sometimes do when eating soup. I first had pesto minestrone soup at an Italian restaurant on vacation--it was a starter, and I liked it better than the meal and knew I needed to make it at home.
I prefer to use spinach rather than kale in my minestrone (Adam hates kale. I can't persuade him otherwise, and have decided it's not something to fuss about) but if you'd like to use kale  (it's traditional), the directions are exactly the same.

 I have completed the very first webTV interview with Kim Demmon, of Today's Creative Blog. It took a while to figure out the software, but Kim was SO wonderfully patient, and hopefully things will continue to get easier and easier.
 Thank you for your suggestions for interviewees---I've got them all written down and plan on making my way down the list.

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments and emails about my Good Morning America appearance. I had the best time ever, and am so happy that it went smoothly on all accounts and that I'm home again with the kids.

Good Morning America, and other announcements

Set your DVRs! I'm going to be on Good Morning America on Wednesday morning--the 12th (in the 8 o'clock hour).

I still don't know what I'm going to cook.

I think I know what I'm going to wear, but I change my mind from one minute to the next.
(they don't want you to wear white, black, patterns, or anything with a logo. that's kind of most of my wardrobe...)

oh. and there's this:

I hate flying.

HATE flying.

so my mom is going to come along.
to hold my hand.

THANK YOU MOM!

I've been thinking a lot about this year's New Year's Resolution, and have finally figured out what I want to do. One of the best things about this whole blogging thing is meeting people from all over the country (and world). I've recently figured out how to tape both sides of a Skype phonecall and thought it would be fun to have a WebTV section for interviews with blogging pioneers, entreprenuers, rockstars, and (personal) idols.

I am thinking of two different focuses right now:
Real Moms Making Real Money At Home, (in Their Pajamas), And How You Can Too

and Gluten Free TV

I've already completed one of the interviews, with Kim Demmon, from Today's Creative Blog, but haven't been able to figure out how to compress the video file for uploading.

Here are the interviewees I've already lined up:
(not in order. just how my brain spit them out)

Alisa Fleming, Go Dairy Free (benefits of self-publishing vs. traditional publishing)
Ann-Marie Nichols, This Mama Cooks (internet entrepreneurism)
Jessica, Very Baby (online marketplace)
Jennette Fulda (entrepreneurism, web design, New! book, Chocolate & Vicodin)
Jessica Gottleib (mommy blogging,  internet interaction)

I'm hoping to get everything working by the end of the month and be able to share a new video interview each week throughout the year (fingers crossed).

I'm giving away TWO BlackBerry Style phones over on Totally Together Reviews.

Have a fantastic week! I'll see you when I get back from New York (I might take a nap first).

(super easy) Slow Cooker Artichoke Pasta Recipe

Look at that pasta dish---

yum.

This is a vegetarian meal (although you certainly can add chicken if you'd like) fit to serve company. This is  also a great weeknight meal for a busy family, and one the kids will enjoy.
Everyone likes pasta!

The Ingredients.
serves 4 large adults (can easily squeeze in a few kids, too)
3 (14.5-ounce) cans Italian tomatoes (diced, stewed, your choice) (do not drain)
2 (14.5-ounce) cans artichoke hearts in water, drained and lightly chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup pimento-stuffed olives
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (to add later)
1 pound freshly cooked pasta (to add later; I use brown rice penne or fusilli from Trader Joes)

The Directions.

Use a 6-quart slow cooker. Pour the tomatoes into your crockpot. Lightly chop the drained artichoke hearts and toss them in. Add garlic and olives. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours. If you are adding chicken, cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, or until chicken is no longer pink. 
Stir in heavy cream and hot, cooked pasta before serving.

*If you are out of the house all day, you can still make this by using a programmable slow cooker. Set it to turn to warm after 5 hours on low. The warm setting will work for a full 12 hours, and will keep your food nice and hot (but not still cooking) until you arrive home. Stir in the heavy cream. Cook pasta according to package instructions and toss with the sauce.

garnish with shredded parmesan cheese, if desired.

The Verdict.

I really like this sauce. I've served it to dinner guests a few times, and my parents have taken home leftovers. My kids eat the sauce, but prefer eating it separately from the cooked pasta.
The olives provide enough of a salty flavor that additional seasoning is not required. So easy!

Peperoncini Beef Sandwiches Slow Cooker Recipe



Hello! Welcome back!

Thank you so much for your kindness and support with the book launch last week. Everyday I pinch myself (although I should really stop because I seem to bruise really easily lately) that this is all for reals.
it's absolutely nutty.
and I love each and every second of it.
Thank you.

I have a slew of recipes to share that are in the new book. I'm not trying to keep them a deep, dark secret--it's just that sometimes the day seems to disappear even though I have the best intentions of posting a new recipe.

This is a great twist on lazy cooking---and you should totally make these sandwiches.

Tonight.

The Ingredients.
serves 6

2 pounds beef chuck roast (frozen is okay)
1 (16-ounce) jar peperoncini peppers
optional:
6 ounces sliced mozzarella or Swiss cheese
6 hamburger buns or French rolls (pictured are toasted pieces of Udi's white bread)

The Directions.

Oh Steph. You must really have lost it this time. You're trying to tell me that all I have to do is pour a jar of peperoncinis on top of a hunk of beef (and it can even be frozen?!) and it'll cook all day and the meat will tenderize and shred all on it's own and I can come home after a long day at work and have a totally delicious meal?

Yes.

The crockpot rocks!! I used a 4-quart slow cooker, because it was already out on the counter top, but a 6-quart would be just fine. Plop the ingredients in, turn to low and let it cook for about 8 hours. When you get home, shred the meat with two large forks and stir. Serve on toasted bread, rolls, or buns with a slice of cheese. If you're fancy, you can broil your sandwich in the oven for a few seconds to melt the cheese.

Easy-peasy.

The Verdict.

This is a great sandwich. I was concerned that the tang and spice from the peperoncinis would be too much for the kids. It wasn't. They didn't want any of the "green things" in their servings, but ate their sandwiches happily (Adam ate the green things, in case you wondered).

Since the meat gives off so much of it's own juice, the tanginess mellows a lot and the flavor is a slight vinegary heat, but it's not muted. It's just perfect. I used mild peperoncinis, but if you like things hot--choose a spicier variety.

more sandwiches? no problem.

how about some giveaways?
