First of all, I am so excited to tell you that I am guest posting today over at Ginger Snap Crafts! Ginger has one of my favorite craft blogs and I am so honored to be one of her fall contributors. I shared a really fun Halloween craft – be sure to hop on over there to check it out!
It is a chilly, rainy, gloomy day here in central PA today. Boo. But this weather makes me think of cold weather comfort food…soups, stews, chilis…yum! So many of those good old-fashioned cold weather comfort foods are delicious – and EASY – in the slow cooker! I’ve got a Pinterest Board full of great slow cooker recipes and ideas, and I thought today would be a good day to share 3 slow cooker recipes that are on my I-have-to-try-this list!
I came across this Slow Cooker Chicken & Dumpling recipe from Your Home Based Mom just today, but it looks so yummy! My husband is a big fan of chicken & dumplings, so I know I will be giving this a try soon.
Crock Pot is always my go-to way of cooking a pot roast (though sometimes I use a pressure cooker when I’m short on time)…but this Crock Pot Balsamic Roast over on Julie’s Eats and Treats looks like a delicious and out of the ordinary way to prepare a roast. Comfort food, indeed!
I’ve never made Italian food in my Crock Pot, but Family Fresh Meal’s Crock Pot Lasagna Soup makes me want to try it! I bet it would be perfect with some crusty garlic bread.
I don’t know about you, but my mouth is watering over here! I have a feeling I’ll be trying out these recipes sooner rather than later. If you give them a try, let me know how it turns out! And I’m always looking for new ways to use my slow cooker – what are your favorite recipes?
Hope you have a fantastic weekend!

Thanks so much for sharing my Chicken & Dumplings – hope you enjoy it!
I just used the crockpot you gave me for graduation to make some delicious potato soup with leeks and onions (and cheese and bacon… no one said it had to be healthy!). I’ll try out some of these recipes as well :)
Yummm, sounds good! I’ve got 2 other slow cooker meals on the blog (crock pot ranch pork chops and cream cheese chicken chili) that are my favorite crock pot dinners – you should try them too!
