As I write this, ice pellets are hitting the windowpane and collecting on dry brown leaves—but those leaves are encircling new, green daffodil shoots. Spring is struggling in our part of the Midwest. For me, it is time to chase away the winter doldrums and this Lemon Velvet Cake is just the dessert to do that. [Read more…]
Housewares Show
Whew! We have just returned from the National Housewares Show in Chicago and what an experience. Babycakes® are still center stage and very much the belle of the show. We had a grand time showing Micky Mouse® waffles, Babycakes cupcakes, Babycakes cake pops and Babycakes donuts. [Read more…]
Texas Style Soup Recipe
Texas Style Soup, cooked in your slow cooker, is the perfect dish to make today. With so much of the country, (us included,) in the grips of major snowstorms, we could not resist the opportunity to share this “pantry-friendly” recipe on KSHB Kansas City Live today. It was such a fun show and in case you missed it, you can watch it now!
Do you always get the best flavor from the dishes you prepare in the slow cooker? We can help you and there is still time to register for our next cooking class, Slow Cooker Secrets that Make Sensational Suppers. It will be March 25, 2013 at the Culinary Center of Kansas City. We have lots of tips and new recipes to share with you in the class. Register now, so you don’t miss out.
We are thrilled to announce that we are sending a special gift to two of our blog friends. Congratulations to Kristi O’Neal of Olathe, KS and Monique Faros of Leawood, KS. They are both winners as they use their slow cooker and they won the books at a contest we held at our slow cooker workshop. Soon they will each receive a copy of our newest slow cooker cookbook, Triple Slow Cooker Entertaining, as well as two of our other books!
This soup really is one of our favorites and, finally for those of you at the slow cooker workshop a couple weeks ago, here is the recipe you have been waiting for. Our families love it and we bet yours will, too! [Read more…]
French Onion Soup
All of a sudden, out of what seemed like nowhere, the bone chilling cold is back and hitting the Midwest with a vengeance. Nothing fights back the cold quite as much as French Onion Soup. We took advantage of a night when our teenager was going to be with friends to enjoy a meal that she would not have enjoyed. It was a special treat for us. Having this for dinner also served as a double treat because there were plenty of “planned overs” to freeze. With the prediction of a looming ice/snow storm later this week, I see warm, soul satisfying days ahead. [Read more…]
Healthy Slow Cooker Recipes
We have a treat for our die-hard regular readers. First, a big thank you for your loyalty and support and second we are going to share recipes with you that we shared at a conference we spoke at this weekend.
We were thrilled to present the workshop The Healthy Slow Cooker at the Church of the Resurrection Women’s Conference. It was great to meet so many of you and we loved talking about family dinners and sharing tips on how to use your slow cooker to make healthy meals. (Here is the tip sheet we shared at the workshop on healthy slow cooking.)
Everyday meals can be scrumptious and healthy, and if you use your slow cooker, it can be especially easy. You can come home after a busy day to a fantastic meal—and avoid those higher calorie restaurant meals. These three recipes are a great start toward delicious family meals. [Read more…]
