A Community Where Wives Connect

Create Our Own Online Cookbook Widget!

Dear all, As wives, we are all very good at learning new things, multi-tasking, doing things efficiently, while making sure that our family stays healthy and eats well:) I can tell you how clueless I was (may still be) when I first have to figure out how / what to cook for my husband! To start, with a growing group of cooking gurus, I think that we can compile a great list of recipes!

To start, we are going to have a cooking widget where we list out your favourite recipes (with name and link)!. I found that this provides a central place to easily find all recipes, increase visibility for our websites, and spread the word about how good you are!

Please simply reply with the following:

-Recipe Name

-Direct link to the recipe

For those of your who have already replied, please pick your favourite recipe and reply with the info!

This is great Amy! Feel free to post your recipes here and we will organize them as we get more. It would be great if you can simply list out the ingredients/steps. Of course, pictures (if available) would be an added bonus!

I would love to contribute a few recipes. I can think of at least three that I would send. One for Chocolate bread pudding (that I have never seen anywhere else like this one - but is may exsist somewhere out there), rice consumme' (this one I have never seen either) and a home made Lasagna recipe.
Just let me know :-)

Joanna - I think this is a fabulour idea! I am not one for creative ideas in the kitchen - I usually follow other people's recipes, but I sure would like to hear and see great ideas and recipes.

Hi Junie! Thanks for offering to share your recipes! If you want, please share your recipes in this group. When other ladies start submitting more recipes, we can think about how we can organize them better and possibly publishing it somewhere! Each recipe will have an acknowledgment of its creator of course!

I would love to help out...I have a recipe for Sloppy Joes (ever since I made it my husband no longer likes the can stuff), a Taco Salad recipe that I assure you will be a hit... a Chocolate cake you do in a crock pot (really it is amazing).

Italian Chicken and Potatoes

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup Italian salad dressing
2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 cup grated parmesan
4 potatoes; peeled, cut into wedges
4 carrots, chopped
(optional) Cut chicken into pieces.

Place chicken in crockpot. Add half the salad dressing, spices and Parmesan. Add potatoes and carrots and add the rest of the salad dressing, spices and Parmesan. Cook on low 6-8 hours.

Karen Carter’s Crockpot Garlic Chicken

1-1 1/2 lbs. chicken pieces
1 c. packed brown sugar
2/3 c. vinegar
1/4 c. lemon-lime soda (7UP diet or regular)
2-3 T. minced garlic
2 T. soy sauce
1 t. pepper

Place chicken in crock pot. Combine other ingredients
and pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Crock Pot Beef Stew

1 round steak cut into bite size pieces (about 2 lbs)
1 can diced tomatoes
2 small cans tomato sauce
1 cup water
1 pkg. frozen stew vegetables (or you can use fresh if you have the time)
salt and pepper

Cook in a crock pot, all day, on low.

Crock Pot Italian Beef Subs

3 cups water
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon garlic powder or granules
1 (.7 ounce) package Good Season Zest Italian dressing mix
1 (5 pound) beef roast

Combine water with ground black pepper, oregano, basil,
garlic powder, and salad dressing mix in a saucepan. Stir
well, and bring to a boil. Place roast in slow cooker, and
pour the mixture over the meat. Cover, and cook on low
for 10 to 12 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours. Shred meat
with a fork and serve on sandwich buns. I also like sautéing
onions and mushrooms to add to the sandwich. You can
also add a piece of provolone cheese to each sandwich.

Slow Cooked Chicken Teriyaki

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into pieces
1-1/2 cups teriyaki sauce

Combine sauce, brown sugar and juice from pineapple chunks in bowl. Place chicken in crockpot and pour sauce over it. Cook on low for 6 hours. During last hour add the pineapple chunks. Adding them late will keep them from overcooking. Excellent served over rice.

These recipes are awesome Peg! Thanks so much for sharing! I have a question, I have a vaccum slow cooker. I guess I can use this for these recipes? It is rather convenient because I can put it in the slow cooker overnight and it will be done when I get home from work!
Also, looks like you love to cook, tell us more about you!:)
