About me: I've been cooking and baking since I was a child and collecting cookbooks almost that long. Years ago, I lost my entire collection in a flood and I've been slowly building it back up. I cook for my husband and three sons who are not very adventurous eaters. We're on the go a lot with sports and school schedules. I love to bake and my boys and their friends appreciate all manner of baked goods.

Favorite cookbook: King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion

Ginger Pork Meatballs with Cilantro and Fish Sauce from Dinner: Changing the Game

These meatballs and the dipping sauce were to die for delicious. Although there was a lot of chopping the recipe was easy to follow. Everyone loved it and we will definitely make this again. read more >

Make It Fast, Cook It Slow: The Big Book of Everyday Slow Cooking

By Stephanie O'Dea
Hyperion - 2009

I really wanted these to be successful. There was lots of flavor added to the crockpot with these wings - hoisin sauce, lots of garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili sauce. The wings themselves were fall off the bone tender. I had planned to stick them in the oven to crisp them up a bit but the boys were starving and wanted to eat them right out of the crockpot.

The texture was surprisingly good. The problem was that the sauce got so watered down that there was only a hint of asian flavor. The wings were put in the crock frozen so as they defrosted they must have diluted the sauce.

I'd give these a 3.5 if I could because they were good - just not spicy or flavorful enough.

This was a super easy chicken dish that was a snap to pull together in the morning before work. It's really just chicken thighs and sauce. The sauce is honey, lime juice (or margarita mix), dijon mustard, and garlic.

I used frozen chicken thighs and cooked it on low for 8 hours and warm for about an hour longer. The chicken developed a nice brownish color and was easy to cut with just a fork. The sauce was quite good served over rice.

I'd add this to a regular Crockpot rotation that I'm planning for Tuesdays
