Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore There is nothing better than the sweet aroma of bell peppers and tomatoes simmering slowly all day in this Chicken Cacciatore dish. You may also like this slow cooker Pollo in Potacchio or Salsa Chicken with Beans and Corn. Cacciatore means “hunter” in Italian. Often the chicken is dusted with flour and fried in oil before simmering in tomatoes with onions and peppers. This healthier version removes the skin and skips the deep frying, but you won’t miss it....

One of my favorite things to cook in a slow cooker is pork. There is just nothing better than a pork roast that is slow cooking all day in a delicious marinade. The pork cooks to perfection and is just melt in your mouth tender. I am always thinking of new flavors and ways to cook the pork in the slow cooker.

Juicy and moist. Slow cooking chicken in broth keeps it from drying out and results in tender, juicy meat. Meal prep friendly. Make a large batch of shredded chicken and use it throughout the week for quick and easy meals. It can be used in so many different ways. In enchiladas, in salads and more. Hands-off cooking. The slow cooker does all the work—you just have to add everything to the crockpot and then shred the chicken once it’s done cooking....
Crispy Smashed Brussels Sprouts Smashed Brussels sprouts are a spin-off the very popular and very delicious smashed potatoes recipe. They’re just as easy to make and are the perfect side dish or appetizer. I might even like these more than smashed potatoes because they are addictively crispy and caramelized around the edges. So addictive, in fact, I sometimes can’t stop myself from eating them straight off the pan! Crispy Brussels Sprouts Ingredients You won’t believe that just four simple ingredients can bring so much flavor!...
Sofrito Chicken Stew My favorite way to eat this is served over rice with a slice of avocado. I make so many variations of this dish depending on what I have on hand; sometimes I add baby potatoes, yucca, or I’ll make it without the beer. If you are really opposed to cooking with alcohol, you can replace it with water.
Spicy Shrimp Francese with Calabrian Chili I recently had Spicy Shrimp Francese at a restaurant, and it was so good I had to recreate it with less oil and butter.

There’s lots of spiralizers out there and I’m often asked which I use, I love my Paderno Spiralizer, it’s the easiest way to make zucchini noodles, sweet potato spirals, carrot ribbons and more!...
This is perfect to bring to a potluck, or you can halve the recipe for less servings. Fresh crab is always best but if that’s not available near you, canned lump crab would do. For the corn, you can roast the corn on the grill, or if you are lucky enough to live near a Trader Joe’s, they sell roasted frozen corn which is such a convenience. A good tip, if you make grilled corn on the cob often and have leftovers, cut it off the cob and freeze it!...
