Get ready for the most tender and flavorful Crockpot Pork Roast

The humble boneless pork shoulder doesn’t get enough love, in my opinion. Maybe because it’s also referred to as pork BUTT?

But this affordable cut of meat shines after a low and slow cook time.

This Crockpot Pork Roast gives you tender meat, soft carrots and onions, and a rich umami-bomb gravy, and your slow cooker does most of the work.

Why you will love this Pork Roast Crock Pot recipe

  • Create simple yet powerful flavors with everyday ingredients like carrots, onions and garlic.
  • The slow-cooking technique is foolproof, practically guaranteeing success for seasoned chefs and kitchen novices.
  • Makes 6 to 8 servings, so if you’re feeding a smaller crowd, you’ll be left with leftovers that you can repurpose into satisfying pork sandwiches.

Green Bean Casserole Crockpot Recipe

If you’ve been underwhelmed by classic green bean casserole made with canned soup, I really don’t blame you. It’s not my favorite, either.

So I set out to not only give it a fresh and flavorful upgrade, but also do it in a crockpot, so your casserole doesn’t have to take up valuable oven space on Thanksgiving or Christmas. What can I say, I enjoy a challenge.

I ended up testing this recipe five times to get it just right for you. It uses fresh green beans and fresh mushrooms (no gloppy canned cream of mushroom soup).

It’s the perfect balance of cooked but not mushy, saucy but not too liquidy, and it’s the epitome of comfort food with the convenience of slow cooking.

Why you will love this Green Bean Casserole in Crockpot

  • Gourmet touches like fresh green beans, fresh mushrooms and Parmesan cheese appeal to both comfort food enthusiasts and those seeking something a bit more upscale.
  • Effortless cooking with the convenience of a crock pot, allowing you to set it and forget it for a few hours.
  • Won’t take up valuable oven space on a holiday where oven space is at a premium!

This Creamy Chicken Tortellini Soup Recipe will become a weeknight favorite!

My daughter has turned into a certified soup kid. She loves any and all soup. Which means that I’m planning on lots of soup for dinners this winter. Because you know what? I’m a soup kid, too.

One of our all-time favorites is this Chicken Tortellini Soup. When I say it’s the most flavorful soup you’ll find on the internet, I mean it.

Ingredient choices like chicken thighs and a hint of nutmeg might be a little unconventional, but you’ll understand after just one spoonful!

“This was brought to a soup bar at school on a parent night to serve teachers. It is still, 3 years later, discussed as the best soup we’ve eaten. We actually hunted down the parent who made the soup and got the recipe to pass around. It is still common in the halls to hear, “I made the chicken tortellini soup last night!” Yup, that good.”

This Baked Chicken Caprese is bursting with flavor!

If the word “caprese” makes your mouth water, this is the perfect chicken recipe for you.

While caprese salad is best at the height of summer when tomatoes are at their peak, this Baked Chicken Caprese uses grocery store grape tomatoes any time of the year.

This skillet baked recipe uses simple ingredients to make succulent chicken breasts topped with a sweet burst tomato sauce and gooey cheese.

Why you will love this Chicken Caprese Recipe

  • The chicken and sauce come together in one skillet.
  • Great any time of year. Even when tomatoes aren’t at their peak, this recipe will bring out their sweetness.
  • Looks fancy, but uses ingredients that are easy to find in any grocery store.

This Salmon Pesto Pasta is a restaurant-quality dish that comes together very easily at home. So flavorful, elegant and quick enough to make on a weeknight!

Overhead photo of skillet filled with spiral shaped noodles tossed with pesto, and chunks of salmon.

If you ask me to name a dish that is super easy for any home cook to make on a weeknight, but kind of feels like a restaurant meal on date night, it would be either creamy salmon pasta or baked pesto salmon.

I know that noodles of all kinds are a workweek staple for most households, including around here, where some variety of veggie pesto pasta with chicken seems to be on our menu weekly.

But sometimes, using salmon instead of chicken makes it seem fancy, even for a weeknight (my instant pot salmon and apricot glazed salmon are also great weeknight salmon meals).

Pairing salmon with noodles in this salmon pesto pasta allows you to add some protein to your carbs, in a way that’s a little bit different and leaner than the traditional ground beef with red sauce combination.

“We made it earlier this week and it was a hit! Great, easy recipe. Thanks!!”

Once I have an open jar of something or the other in the fridge, I pride myself on using it up. I hate food waste! So an open tub of gochujang is an invitation to make Korean meatballs as often as possible.

Recently, it was an open jar of capers. I don’t even know why I originally bought them, I just knew I needed to use them up.

So, I made lemon butter shrimp pasta and creamy salmon pasta, too. But there were still more. Apparently I bought the largest jar of capers to ever exist.

Now, if you Google “how to use up a bunch of capers,” I’m guessing a lot of piccata recipes come up. Piccata sauce is a delicious combination of fresh lemon juice, butter and lots of capers.

Piccata is usually made with chicken or veal, but you know that I’m always making new salmon recipes. Like my pineapple salmon, this salmon piccata recipe is truly a restaurant-quality dish that is actually pretty easy to execute at home.

Cajun Turkey Recipe

If you’ve ever had a Thanksgiving turkey that was dry and flavorless, it’s only natural that turkey might now be your least favorite thing on your plate for this holiday.

But it doesn’t have to be this way, and this Cajun Turkey Recipe is here to save the day.

Using an easy homemade Cajun turkey rub, we’ll be seasoning the bird to perfection, cooking it FAST in a hot oven so it stays super juicy, and making the most flavorful gravy from the drippings.

Why you’ll love this Cajun Turkey Seasoning

  • This rub has a customizable spice level. If your crowd prefers a more mild turkey, simple scale back or omit the cayenne pepper.
  • Make a double batch, because the rub is versatile enough to elevate any poultry dish, any time of the year. Add a kick to chicken breasts!
  • The cooking method is FAST. No need to dedicate 4 hours to roasting your turkey – it’ll be done in 2 hours or so.

Bring a delicious but unexpected side dish to your table by making this Thanksgiving Rice packed with veggies, dried fruit, nuts and herbs. Naturally gluten free and can be made vegetarian.

Thanksgiving rice side dish in handmade pottery bowl with spoon in it.

The irony of being a food blogger who makes a VERY small real-life Thanksgiving dinner has always amused me.

But for the holiday, I’m usually cooking for just four adults and one kid. It makes Thanksgiving dinner a very low-stress meal to host, because cooking for five doesn’t require shuffling dozens of pans and casserole dishes into the oven (or multiple ovens, which we don’t have!).

On the the other hand, it also makes it impractical to prepare a HUGE feast – there’d just be way too many leftovers to deal with (even after making my leftover mashed potatoes recipe and cranberry sauce muffins the next day), and food waste bums me out.

So, in real life, I stick to just the basics, which is usually a small Cajun turkey or turkey with maple bourbon glaze, mashed potatoes with homemade gravy, cranberry sauce, my husband’s grandma’s old fashioned dressing, and green beans or maple glazed Brussels sprouts.

But this blog is where I kind of live out my Thanksgiving FEAST fantasies (and test and eat them in the weeks BEFORE the holiday).

In my dreams, I envision a table loaded with a dozen side dishes, like Thanksgiving salad and roasted acorn squash slices and every other vegetable imaginable. Oh, and Thanksgiving Rice! Let’s talk about this Thanksgiving Rice recipe.

“Made this for Thanksgiving this year. Absolutely delicious. So easy to bake in the oven. Was perfect at 50 minutes.”

This Sweet Dumpling Squash Soup is the perfect way to celebrate one of autumn’s most unique squash varieties. As easy as roasting, blending, and topping with crispy bacon! 

Two small white bowls filled with sweet dumpling squash soup garnished with chopped bacon and sage leaves, with a green napkin, two spoons and a whole dumpling squash nearby.

If there’s one thing in my kitchen that I kind of, sort of regret buying, it’s my very expensive, very fancy blender.

To be fair, I didn’t really buy it out of pocket, but used Williams-Sonoma gift cards that I had received for many birthdays and Christmases to purchase it. But still, it was a big purchase, and I’m not sure I use it enough for it to have been worth it.

Aside from the occasional lemon smoothie or blended lemon margarita, my fancy blender sadly doesn’t get a lot of love most of the year.

With one exception. Every fall, without fail, I make some sort of blended squash soup. While I like butternut squash noodles, roasted acorn squash slices for my famous Thanksgiving salad, and roasted delicata squash, for soup, I love sweet dumpling squash.

If you’re not familiar with this variety, this post will explain what sweet dumpling squash is, how to cook it, and why Sweet Dumpling Squash Soup is the best kind of squash soup.
