For our Crocktober series, I wanted to do a mix of recipes. Too often people only associate a slow-cooker with a roast, when they can do so much more! You can make desserts, appetizers, snacks and so much more than just roasts in your slow cooker. Today, we are making slow cooker apple crisp. Apples are in season so it's the perfect time to make this family favorite. To make a batch of our Slow-Cooker Apple Crisp you will need the following - 3 lbs of Apple, about 6 medium apples 1/3 C ...

Roasted Chicken with Root Vegetables
Back to school means fall and fall means heartier meals. This roasted chicken with root vegetables is a great option for a weeknight dinner. Why? Because much of the work can be done ahead of time!

One reason I LOVE this cocktail is I love all things with Chambord in it. I feel like it takes several mixed drinks to the next level. If you have never had Chambord (raspberry liquor) you are in ...
