Roasted Butternut Squash Salad

Posted by Kathy on September 8, 2015

It used to be we talked about whether it was correct to wear white after Labor Day. Never mind that the store shelves are filled with Halloween (or scarier yet, Christmas) displays. Now, my world seems to buzz about whether it is right to post apple recipes before Labor Day or how many websites or magazines post pumpkin recipes the first week of September.

Posted by Roxanne on September 1, 2015

It’s official! We are excited to announce that our newest book, Slow Cooker Desserts, Oh So Easy, Oh So Delicious!, is published and ready for you to enjoy. September 1st is finally here and so is our new book! Yipeeeeeeeee!!!

This has been so exciting for us! We have loved baking in our Crock-Pots® since back in the day when we first met in the test kitchen. Here we are thirty years later and we still adore baking in the slow cooker. Now you can enjoy the moist, easy goodness of slow cooker desserts in your own home. The weather is going to be getting cooler and what better way to celebrate Fall than to treat yourself to a cookbook that will bring the flavors of fall and every season into your own home.

While we are celebrating and the confetti is flying, we would be remiss if we didn’t extend all of our thanks to you…..our dedicated family, friends and blog readers. Thank you for your support and for igniting our creativity into more scrumptious, slow cooker ideas for all to enjoy.

We hope you will go to your local retailer or order this beauty online today.

Happy Baking!

Those of you that have young children, be careful, be very, very careful. It happens when you aren’t looking. You know what I am talking about–you’ve heard it hundreds of times, when you aren’t looking those precious toddlers, elementary schoolers and Tweens grow up. How is it that our daughter is now a senior in high school? Did you hear me? A senior! I blinked and poof, she is a grown young woman with lots of dreams and aspirations. Savor the moments and the memories; they move on in the blink of an eye.

I’ve written about this before but our daughter and her daddy started baking cookies together when she was three. [Read more…]
