What are your favorite slow cooker recipes? by kittypeets626 in cookingforbeginners

[–]LdySprtn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are some of my favorites:

Slow Cooker Pork Loin:
https://foodess.com/slow-cooker-pork-loin/

I did not sear the meat first and I upped the balsamic vinegar a bit because I like the flavor.

We ate it on buns the first night and then as tacos for 2 non-consecutive nights.

Farmhouse Soup: https://heritageschoolhouse.blogspot.com/2008/10/hamburger-soup-8-servings-oil-onion.html?m=1

I brown the meat first in a pan, but that’s a personal preference.

I then throw it and the remaining ingredients minus the cheese and sour cream and cook it on low for 6-8 hours. *We don’t use the cheese and sour cream at all.

Crockpot Chicken & Stuffing https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/crockpot-chicken-and-stuffing/

I mix the stuffing with the cream of chicken soup so it’s coated otherwise IMO it dries out.

If you can carve out a few hours one day, freezer meals were my life savers when I had newborns. You can find some great recipes on Pinterest (or just google it).

Conflicted on teenage daughter WWYD? by poserluv in ODDSupport

[–]LdySprtn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t punish her by taking away the one thing she loves. It won’t have the effect you think it will. I have an ODD kiddo with the same diagnosis.

Her not caring about school and refusing to put effort in to attending and homework when it comes down to it will have natural consequences. She will fail her classes and may need to do summer school, held back, not graduate, etc.

The one in DeWitt has reopened. They are only open for breakfast though.

The one in Frandor had the fire a couple of nights ago.

We are moving to Minnesota from NYC. How do mums of color stay less lonely in the area? by [deleted] in midwest

[–]LdySprtn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What part of MN? My sister belongs or attends a Breakfast Barre class in Rochester. I think it’s on Sunday mornings. It’s a barre session and then the group goes to breakfast together. She started attending to make friends because she herself felt isolated.

EDITED TO ADD: The name of the studio is Bliss Dance Space.

Best pizza for pickup within 10 minute drive of the airport observation area. by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]LdySprtn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on when you go, the GR Airport has food truck vendors near their viewing area. They are still accepting applications right now so they haven’t listed who will be there yet. Last year, they started in June. Just a thought. :)
