Baked Potatoes in the Slow Cooker

Spring is here and that always means crank up the outdoor grill.  Some people will laugh when I say I have 2 outdoor electric grills, both are Weber grills, one is small and the other is bigger.  I have used charcoal and then mainly gas but for convenience sake I switched to electric.

This is a recipe to use should you try and make your own homemade sauerkraut.  Of course you can always use the bagged kind at the grocery store (I prefer this over canned), but homemade definitely adds some great flavor and a special touch to any meal.  This sounds like a Weight Watcher’s recipe but … Continue reading

Turkey Breast and Gravy in a Slow Cooker

Turkey breasts cooked in a slow cooker always turn out very tender and moist.  If you want the skin browned  you can always cook it for an extra 15 minutes in a 400°F oven.   See also my recipe from Weight Watcher’s Lemon Pepper Turkey Breast for another good recipe. See important comment below. I do not recommend making this … Continue reading
