Our friends in France deserve a round of applause for their creation of the French dip sandwich. I mean, seriously, this recipe is dripping (literally!) with flavor. I’ve loved French dip sandwiches for as long as I can remember. My mom used to make them all the time for our family as I was growing up.

As an adult, I carried on the tradition of making French dip sandwiches for my family. I love these sandwiches but making them is a bit laborious time consuming…until I found this recipe. Instead of standing over a pot, you get to toss all of your ingredients into the slow cooker and walk away. Read a book, go shopping, clean your house; it doesn’t matter because you have dinner simmering in the Crock. Nice, eh?

I am a huge fan of Asian cuisine. I love all the exotic flavors, spicy dishes and the healthy, fresh ingredients. Whenever I come across a new Asian restaurant, I will definitely clear my schedule and step in for a delicious meal. Unfortunately, there are no Asian places nearby where I live. For a long time I was afraid to try and cook anything like this at home – I thought it would be way too complicated. I was so wrong!

Simple to make, yet a tasty flavor vacation: It’s Slow Cooker Chicken Teriyaki. No need to go the takeout route when you can make this at home so easily! It really is amazing, how simple it is to put so many delicious Asian dishes together. Just throw a few things in the slow cooker, cook some rice, steam the veggies you want to use, and you have an easy, tasty full meal.

Quick tip: This meal isn’t perfect without chopsticks!

A good stew can work wonders for your palate and your stomach on a cold night. This Slow Cooker Chicken Vegetable Stew has a great blend of veggies, herbs, and spices (including rosemary, thyme, and sage) to excite your taste buds and warm you up just right. It’s one of my all-time favorites that I like to cook all winter long!

Normally, when I think of stew, I think of something beef-based, but I have to say, this chicken-based stew recipe really hit the spot. It didn’t hurt, either, that it was such an easy recipe, thanks to the Crock-Pot, and the aroma while it was cooking was a feast for the senses just by itself. As-is, the recipe makes four to six servings, though I think that you could expand it without too much difficulty, provided that your slow cooker of choice has the room for it.

Quick tip: Leftovers make a delicious lunch the next day!

It may not be your typical chicken alfredo recipe, but this Cajun Chicken Alfredo is delicious. It contains just the right amount of spice to wake up the flavor a bit, but the spice is nicely balanced with half and half, so that even people very sensitive to spice will have no trouble enjoying this recipe. I do love Cajun recipes of all types, but ones like these are especially good for midweek nights when you want something really quick and need to keep cleanup to a minimum. I wouldn’t call this traditional alfredo, but it is certainly a yummy one-pot meal!

I must say I hesitated for a while when I came across this recipe. I do enjoy Chicken Alfredo as much as I do cajun seasoning, but had never thought of combining the two. Turns out it was a great idea!

Quick tip: Use your favorite pasta noodles and cheese for this dish.

Casseroles are great for convenience, and chicken pot pie is classic, soothing comfort food, particularly during the cooler months. This Chicken Pot Pie brings together convenience and comfort nicely, and it even sports a savory Bacon Cheddar Biscuit topping to make the dish out-of-this-world delicious! Who could resist all these beautiful flavors in such an easy-to-cook form!

I’ve always liked chicken pot pie, though I’ve always had to go for the top of the line Marie Callender’s ones if I settled for store-bought, and even those are kind of lean, for how much you pay for them. This casserole is much more filling than the usual store-bought options, not to mention being in a bit more of a family-friendly form and having a nice upgrade over the usual basic crust.
