Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

We are heading into fall, the season of pumpkins, sweaters, and (in my house) warm and cozy suppers cooked up in my trusty slow cooker.  There’s nothing quite like tossing a bunch of ingredients into the slow cooker, trundling off to work and coming home to the delectable aroma of supper being just about ready.  

And one of the current slow cooker faves in my house is this recipe for slow cooker chicken taco soup.  All the flavors of chicken tacos – including the toppings! – in a cheesy, creamy, dreamy, spicy soup version.  Ready for some warm and wonderful slow cooker soup deliciousness?  Let’s make it!

Carrot Leek Mustard Tart

If you ask the Southern husband what his favorite flavors are, odds are he will have both mustard and honey at the top of the list.  Our fridge always has multiple jars of mustard in it, and our cabinet always has multiple jars of honey in it (his current fave is Cloister honey infused with bourbon, which the Southern daughter gifted him recently).  As for me, I do love me some eggs, even without bacon.

So it kind of seemed inevitable that this carrot leek mustard tart, full of eggs that have been whisked with sour cream and drizzled with a little honey, was meant to be.  And to make things even more wonderful, it is so chock full of veggies that it is a perfect all-in-one meal.  Let’s make it!

Applesauce Blender Muffins

It’s apple season!  And when apple season rolls around, the Southern husband and I head to our very favorite apple orchard and pick way too many apples, because it is amazing how quickly two people can pick three pecks of apples even when they are trying to pick slowly and make it last.  So three pecks of apples = lots of homemade applesauce, and lots of homemade applesauce = applesauce blender muffins.

This is hands down the easiest recipe in my repertoire of muffins recipes.  Put everything in your blender, push the button, pour the batter into a muffin tin, bake and eat.  And yes, you can use store-bought applesauce and they will turn out just fine.  Let’s make them!

Aglio e Olio

Well, we are out of the summer lounging season and back into the whirlwind of back to school and back to work and getting supper on the table in the midst of a thousand busy things on our list.  And that is where this super easy recipe for aglio e olio comes in.  Aglio e olio translates to garlic and oil, and that’s exactly what this is, along with Parmesan cheese and a little parsley and of course PASTA.  It’s the perfect rush-around-day supper, for all kinds of reasons…not the least of which is that it is 100% delicious.  And with that, let’s make it!

Beer Chicken Tacos

I never have been quite brave enough to try the traditional recipe for beer can chicken (the one where you position the chicken vertically on a beer can and grill it)…I’m not sure why, other than I have irrational visions of the chicken exploding off the grill and taking flight across my back yard.  However, I do love to makes these beer chicken tacos, which I think just might be the next best thing.

The chicken starts out by marinating luxuriously in a concoction of your favorite beer and a few spices, and from there it’s a quick 15 or 20 minutes until you are sitting down to a plate full of warm and wonderful chicken tacos.  No explosion worries anywhere…let’s make it!
