Italian Style Lamb Shank Cabernet Stew

Thursday, December 12, 2019
Italian Style Lamb Shank Cabernet Stew is one of my favorite meals when it's a little chilly out!


Lamb is a favorite of mine.


I just love the flavor, tenderness that comes along with slow cooking and what a fine wine can do to enhance the flavor of a dish.


This is made with a good grade Cabernet wine and is just a perfect blend of flavors.


A wonderful stew with bold flavors.

Everything Taste Better with Bacon



There is no rule on how much cooked bacon to add, we love it.


The rich smokey flavor of applewood bacon is our favorite to use, you can also substitute ham if you have leftover spiral ham.


I have a smoker so we sometimes when we have leftover ham steaks, I use that or even left ham for the holiday, I have also used leftover smoked pork.

Partially Cooked Potatoes



Awe yes, this is the secret of it cooking so fast.


I microwave the potatoes first, or if you want to boil them that's fine too.


Just until they are slightly cooked but still firm so they cut easy.


Cool the potato first under cold water then slices and make them into chunks.


Even if you overcook the potatoes, it will still taste amazing!


If you like the potatoes firmer then don't precook them!

Venison Mushroom Cacciatore is slow-cooked perfectly and will taste very much like beef stew.

My husband loves hunting in the woods in Upstate New York.

This flavorful cacciatore was a big hit!

I have had a ball making my venison Italian style all winter long all different ways.

The meat is tender, melt in your mouth delicious.

If you already love venison try my fried venison steaks, they're totally addicting!

This tougher cut of beef roast called the eye of round roast beef is easier than you might think to get tender, but the true trick is to slow cook it.

Beans Beans Beans Recipe

Wednesday, January 27, 2010
Beans made in the slow cooker over night what can be easier when using dried beans of any kind?

We have done this for some many years and continue to save money making beans from dry packaging that in a crockpot overnight is super simple and does all the work.

Dried beans never seems to get soft enough just soaked in water, but the slow cooker method does the trick so they come out perfect every time.

IF you love beans try my 20 Beans Recipes, there's something for everyone here.

We still sort them and make sure they are free from all the impurities so rinse, sort and fill your slow cooker with water, set it an forget it till they're nice and soft.

Keep it on low if it's an overnight process, the beans will soften within a four hour period on high.
