Crock-Pot Cheeseburger Soup {Recipe}

Leave a comment

It’s no secret how much we love to use our Crock-Pot around here.  We find that it is much easier to feed our large family this way. We can make big enough batches of food and it’s also great to be able to prep and make something in the morning, toss it in the crock-pot and leave it to cook during the day while we do other things.  Crock-pot cooking definitely makes things a lot easier around here.

Mother Nature was evil to us once again today……yesterday was wearing flip flops and had grass and today I woke up to this.

Snow on April 14, 2014

Since Mother Nature decided to deliver snow to us today, we thought today was the perfect day for soup so Alex got to work this morning prepping all the ingredients and throwing them in the crock-pot for Cheeseburger Soup!

This soup was soooo good, the entire family loved it!  All of the kids ate it and didn’t even know they were eating all kinds of vegetables…..vegetables they never want to eat!!!!

Crock-Pot Gyros & Homemade Tzatziki Sauce {Recipe}

Leave a comment

I think I mentioned in the past that I LOVE Greek food.  Greek salads, gyros, baklava, pastitsio, moussaka….basically all Greek food. There is just something about it that makes my mouth water.  

If I could eat one Greek dish everyday, it would be gyros.  They are soooooo good!

Over the weekend, Alex made Crock-Pot Gyros with homemade Tzatziki sauce and they were absolutely delicious!

Not only were these gyros and tzatziki sauce yummy, they were both super easy to make!

As a family that enjoys movie as well as snacking, we are always happy to combine the two for a fun family movie night.  

Thanks to our friends at General Mills, our recent family movie night was taken care of with a copy of Despicable Me 2 and a few ingredients along with the recipe for Minion Munch Chex Party Mix.  We love Chex Mix so adding a new recipe to the mix was a lot of fun.

This Minion Munch Chex mix is just as delicious as it looks and even with making a double batch, we had no problem devouring it!
