Favorite Crock-Pot Recipes? (+ How to Win A Crock-Pot!)

Published on October 23, 2014 By Emily. Updated on October 16, 2016

Disclosure:  Redpack provided me with canned tomatoes and a spoon in exchange for my sharing about their Crockpot giveaway.  As always, the opinions expressed are my own.

Growing up, my family didn’t really use a slow cooker. I’m pretty sure there’s one in the basement, but I can’t remember anyone ever using it. (This is the sort of post introduction that leads to my mother calling to correct my recollections.)

But everyone knows that slow cookers are one of those things you “have to” register for when you’re getting married.  So we did.  And though we don’t use our Crock-Pot as often as some people, I do really love it.  I’ve used it to make pulled pork and Easy Springtime Crockpot Minestrone and stuffed peppers and Dijon Corned Beef and my favorite, this vegetarian slow cooker chili (which we’ve been enjoying for dinner this week).

So when Redpack offered to send me some of their canned tomatoes, I was all over it.  It is so awesome to arrive home to work and rediscover that dinner is already cooked, as I did yesterday.  It was cold and rainy and I had a million things on my mind and the moment I walked in the door I remembered that I’d made chili.  I would be thrilled if some of my readers were able to enjoy slow cooking as much as I do.

Do you love your slow cooker?  Do you have a favorite slow cooker recipe?  Please share it in the comments below or on the Relishments Facebook.  I would love to expand my repertoire, especially of vegetarian slow cooker ideas.

Do you wish you had a slow cooker?  Good news!  Redpack is giving away 2 Crock-pots a day from now through November 12.   In addition to the 22 Crock-Pots there is also a grand prize: One Grand Prize Winner will be awarded (1) Redpack Slow Cooker Prize Package, including one All-Clad 7-Qt. Deluxe Slow Cooker with Cast Aluminum Insert, one Stainless-Steel Prep Serve Dip Spoon, one Silicone Tipped Braising Tongs, and the products to make the Redpack “Slow Cooker Recipes” having an MSRP of approximately $330.

In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" s In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" sub-goals for 2021 would be to figure out the best pizza dough recipe and topping combinations for my family. We've had pizza night on the menu for a long time, but I knew that I could improve the pizzas that were coming out of my oven. Each week (or so) I've been sharing in my Stories the pizzas I've made with various stores and toppings. I am eight weeks in I've already learned a lot about technique and what I prefer in a pizza crust and toppings. I'm also looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year will hold in my pizza making studies. Check out my highlights for all the pizzas so far!

In typical 2020 fashion, I had all kinds of issues getting my Top 9 created this year and this image still has problems. 
But the images are accurate and nicely summarize the year - take out from local establishments (@aokberkshirebbq, @thebreakroomgw, @northadamsfarmersmarket), #RelishmentsBakes projects, the natural beauty of the Berkshires and our successful container garden.

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
