Dill Pickle Crock-Pot Bits & Bites

May 25, 2020 by Suzie the Foodie 7 Comments

Yes, I am going through a major dill pickle phase! I have always been a dill pickle fanatic but lately, even more so. When I saw Fake Ginger’s Dill Pickle Chex Mix there was no stopping me from making it! I love bits and bites and have made them before, once in the oven and […]

Crockpot Roast Beef for Boneheads Like Me

November 25, 2014 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

I made a tutorial back in 2009 on how to make crockpot roast beef. It was perfect. A simple and basic post on how to make a kick-ass crockpot roast beef. But, the photos aren’t great. I was learning about foodie photography back then. I decided to to put together another post about it but […]

Kitchen Disaster: “Luscious” Lemon Cake (in a slow cooker)

May 27, 2013 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

Remember how I made Apple Butterscotch Crisp/Goo from the cookbook Slow Cooker Desserts? I wanted to try and give it another chance and make something that sounded wonderful: Light and lemony, this cake has a soft and velvety texture that works especially well for those nights when a heavy dessert won’t do. Sounded good to […]

It has been a while since I have had a serious kitchen disaster so it was time! Foodie crisis hit in my kitchen and I managed to turn it around and make something absolutely delicious for dinner. There was a time I would have just thrown it in the compost and ordered a pizza but […]

Product Review of the Original Crock-Pot

December 10, 2012 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

I was so lucky to receive this 6 quart Original Crock-Pot Smart-Pot with One Touch Control to review because it has been an amazing experience. Unfortunately I can not seem to find the exactly same model online. This is the closest one but please note, mine does not have a hinged lid. Kitchen Test #1 […]

Product Testing: Crock-Pot Roasted Chicken

November 21, 2012 by Suzie the Foodie 11 Comments

I was offered to test Crock-Pot, the original slow cooker that has been around since 1971. Last summer I considered donating my tiny crockpot until it proved its worth. It is so small, I can not do a lot of the fancier cooking other people can do with their slow cooker. So… I said yes! […]

Crockpot Split Pea Soup

February 24, 2012 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

Ever since I tried and failed to make Nadia G.’s split pea soup I have been on the hunt for a split pea soup recipe Reg and I both like. The next attempt was Favorite Family Recipe’s recipe. So easy and healthy, would it please both of us? My crockpot is small and the site warned […]

That will do crockpot… That will do…

Now you may think that trying to save money on legumes may take penny-pinching to a whole new level but look at these prices. It used to be buying a can of beans over $1 was unheard of but now even on sale, black beans are over a $1! Reg took me to the Bulk […]

Crockpot Caramelized Onions

July 19, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 11 Comments

As you know, my crockpot’s days may be numbered. I have been trying to test it in many different ways to see if it is worth having around and these caramelized onions may have saved the appliance from taking a trip to the thrift store! I was a total skeptic that it was even possible […]

Letter to my crockpot: You have the summer to prove your foodie worth

July 7, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 14 Comments

Two years ago when I started food blogging I asked the question, “Crockpots: excellent kitchen tool or a waste of space?” I was surprised so many people loved them. What was I missing? One time I did more than just consider donating my crockpot. It was in one of the big garbage bags getting taken […]
