When it comes to pulled pork sandwiches, there's no question that I'll reach for my crockpot to prepare it. It's just so easy to combine everything into one vessel, top it with a lid and let it do it's thing for a few hours. However, I love switching things up a bit with flavors and textures and this time, I tried a sweet and savory bbq sauce and chopped the pork rather than shredding it. My mouth is still watering after making this meal over a week ago. Served with BBQ Baked French Fries, these sweet and savory Peach BBQ Chopped Pork Sandwiches will hit the spot perfectly...

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches
Some things just bring me back to my childhood. Ice cream sandwiches do that for me. I remember spending hot summer days in our front yard sitting with my little brother and sister, where we quickly ate melting ice cream sandwiches in between games we would play. It may not be a hot summer day and my siblings and I may not play outside together as often as we'd like, but these Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches certainly remind me of fond memories of yesteryear. When's the last time you enjoyed an ice cream sandwich?!...

Make Ahead Meatloaf
Meat and potatoes. How many folks do you know who enjoy a comforting 'meat and potato' dish? I'm more of a 'meat and rice' kind of gal but either way, it's comforting. When I think of meat and potatoes, meatloaf and mashed potatoes come to mind. It's been awhile since I've made meatloaf and after making this recipe for Make Ahead Meatloaf, I foresee many more meatloaves coming out of my oven. This isn't your momma's meatloaf.

12 More Crockpot Recipes for Stress Free Meals!
Crockpotting... Is this just a popular cooking phase or is it here to stay? I've noticed a huge spike in interest online, among family and friends and in random foodie discussions with folks about crockpotting, or cooking with a slow cooker over the past few months. What gives?! Could it be the ease of cooking without actually being in the kitchen? The use of less energy and lower costs in plugging in versus firing up? The quick preparation of recipes? Whatever the reason, I'm all for it. I love my crockpot/slow cooker and apparently many folks agree or at least are warming up to the idea of using a crockpot/slow cooker more often. I've gotten several requests from folks for more crockpot recipes that don't include cream soups and go a little beyond the usual crockpot fare. Last year I shared a few favorite crockpot recipes and here are 12 More Crockpot Recipes for Stress Free Meals that are worthy of making again and again!...

There’s so many ways to incorporate chocolate into something
decadent… do you have a favorite chocolate recipe or dish? If
you’re looking to play with chocolate this month as well, here are 10 Decadent Chocolate Recipes I made over the past year...
