Two things I dislike about making enchiladas: One: Having to spend time prepping the meat and dirtying more dishes. Two: Rolling each enchilada individually, then trying to dish them out once they’re cooked and failing, causing the insides to fall out. Lucky for me (and you!), this recipe solves both of those problems. The meat…

Summer Slow Cooker Zucchini Chicken Quinoa Casserole
Whoever said crockpots were only for the winter lied to you. For real, during the summer it gets so hot that I don’t really want to turn my oven on, so what’s the appliance that can cook supper without heating up the house? You guessed it — the good old crockpot! (I don’t have an…

Crockpot Pumpkin Turkey Chili
Pumpkin? In chili? I know, I know, it seems strange. When I first made this soup, I thought the pumpkin would overpower the chili. Boy, was I wrong. The pumpkin adds an amazing, velvety texture to the soup, added nutrients, and a hit of natural sweetness without making the soup actually taste like squash at…
